Old school museum

We went to the Denver museum of natural history while we were visiting my brother. That is an old school style museum! They have these huge gallries with mega-sized diaoramas filled with animals. Some were nearly the size of half my house! I have never been to a museum like it.

Secret code... nah

It's the back of my temporary radio operator license plate. It was a handy place to write notes on. This is actually a list of times. When I bought a new radio for my truck I went cheap and got one at walmart for like 30.00. It plays MP3s (which is what I wanted)... one problem... when you turn off the truck, the radio does not save your place in the MP3... No biggie, right? Well, I listen to audio books (for the most part) while I am in my truck so the tracks are like 45-110 minutes long... you can see my problem now can't you? Basically I have to denote the time before I shut off my truck on this handy dandy note card. This sheet represents about four months of driving and audio book listening.

Farwell Stripling & Cox

The Stripling & Cox building (headquarters) was located on Camp Bowie... was. The company folded up many months back and they finally decided to clear the old building. It's been there well before I was born and it's kind of sad to see it go.

Something interesting I found

I found this bit of art on a caution cone sitting at the Exxon in Burleson, Tx. I have no idea what it means but I thought it was interesting enough to shoot.

Rainbows, Cinnamon Buns, and Lollypops

What the hell is wrong with everyone???!!!! They are acting like the day the new president takes over, the world is going to instantly smell like Cinnamon Buns, Rainbows, and Lollypops. There is SOOOOO much hype that the fall is going to be that more grand!

When the so called 'unbiased' media is unabashedly having 'Obamagasms' it's pretty evident that things are getting way out of control.

Let's wait six months and see how things actually happen as opposed to what everyone promised was going to happen.

First Gameday of 2009

Yesterday James and Chris came over for a day of gaming. This entails taking off work and spending all day playing as many boardgames as possible. We got started at about 10:30a and finished at about 9:30p. James had to leave eariler but Chris stayed and we continued. We played:

Warhammer Quest

Munchkin

Carcassonne

Clue: The Great Museum Caper

Mystery Mansion

Scabble

Boggle

Cathedral

It doesn't seem like much but a couple of these games takes a couple of hours to play. Muchkin took us more than two house simply becasue it was our first time playing. BTW it's a really fun (and funny) game.

Bush sucks! NOW I'm T R E N D Y!!!!

BUSH SUCKS!

Ok, now that I have done what EVERY WEBSITE AND BLOG has done now am I trendy?
You know how popular it is to hate America.

P.S. AMERICA RULES!!!!!!

2008 - The most vile of years...

It's bad... it's nasty... it's a Y E A R.

Ok, give up the crap. Everyone is all dissing on 2008, all so glad it's over. I mean... COME ON! As Douglas Adams wrote: Time is an illusion, lunch time doubly so. Things aren't going to magially get better when you have to start writing 2009 on all your checks. It's just a number we use to measure time. There has been so much 'to do about nothing' that it's driving me bonkers.

While I'm on this soap box let me assure you that the world isn't going to instantly start smelling like sunshine, puppies, rainbows, and butterflies when the Affirmative Action's greatest achievement takes office (like you have been told a million times during the election). Things are still going to continue to go down (and up) no matter who is there.

Ups and Downs... it's the natural process. You can't go up forever, you have to go down at some point.

Quit whining people!
