Yes Trump is a tool but this happens to be true.

Sad
I find this graphic to be how I feel even though I know we aren’t quite lost as a country. We still have the election in November where we can take our country back from the liars and turncoats who are trying to take it.

Chrome Canary
I’ve been touting Google Chrome for a while now and I still really like it but… Today I was developing a website for work and wanted to be able to use JavaScript (actually jQuery) to grab an HTML table and have the user download it as a CSV file.
I found a script to do it but it wouldn’t work no matter what I tried (on Chrome). I finally tried it on FireFox and it worked fine.
I started investigating and I found that Google broke that feature in Chrome 19. There are a few workarounds but the one I chose seems best.
I found out they offer a browser called Chrome Canary which they call the “bleeding edge” but it’s really just a beta of the regular Chrome.
I installed it and it solves the download problem plus it’s even faster than Chrome 19.
If you’re interested you can grab it here.

Fun with the Balchs
A few weeks ago Heather called me and said they would be at the Lawrence Welk Resort from the 10th through the 17th and would we like to come spend a few days doing stuff. I immediately said yes and we booked a couple of nights at a Comfort Inn in Escondido.
We drove down on Thursday the 14th and checked in and then drove to LWR. Mark was out playing golf so Heather, Camden, Carsten, Betty and I went over to the Activity Center so the boys could paint some clay turtles. We stayed there for a while and Mark called Heather to say he would be on the hole right behind the center soon. We went out and watched him play the hole. He came really close to having a Birdie but ended up with par. You can see a panorama of the activity center here.
Then we went back to the house and had a spaghetti dinner (I had Spaghetti Squash and Walden Farms 0 calorie sauce).
After dinner we went to the pool and got wet and relaxed. After that Betty and I drove back to the hotel.
The next morning they picked us up in their van and we drove in to Balboa Park to go to the Fleet Science Center and Model Railroad museum. That was lots of fun and we even saw an IMax movie called To The Artic. It was a little too political but enjoyable nonetheless.
That night I took them to The Fish Market where we all had a great meal. Mark had the Ciopino which used to be one of my favorites but I stayed a little lower calorie this time.
The next day we checked out and drove to the coast to meet up for a beach outing. We were going to be at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas but it was closed for something special. We ended up going to Oceanside State Beach and spent some time there. I have a pano of the beach here.
At about 2pm Betty and I left for home. The drive should have taken about 2 hours but because it’s Southern Cal and a Saturday it took 3 1/2 hours.
We had a great time and I will post some more of the pictures in my Gallery later. Right now I’m getting ready for Richard and Dianna to come spend Father’s Day with us.
