Daylight Savings Time - Stop it!

From all that I’ve been reading lately I don’t think I’m in the minority on this one. We need to stop the silliness that is daylight savings time. Whatever it was used for (I’ve heard farming and the railroads) are past their time. Yeah I enjoy my extra hour of sleep right now, [...]

Weekends are to short

For some reason the last couple of weekends have seemed extremely short for one reason or another. Maybe it’s the time of the year or maybe it’s the fact that I’ve been somewhat busy. I don’t know, but I don’t like it. I’d much rather have a three day weekend than a [...]

TV or Computer?

So as most know I haven’t posted on here in what seems like a decade. I just feel like I don’t have a whole lot to say (at least anything that would be interesting!). So I have some time now and some things that I think I’ll post up.
You know Martin Luther King [...]

Online Trading?

Was wondering if anyone that reads this does any online trading? Been thinking about it for awhile and have recently just started following Jim Cramer (TheStreet.com, CNBC, various books etc) and I’m thinking about giving it a try in the not so distant future.
I’ve got my own broker and he’s a nice [...]

Untitled story (pt 4)

As always raw and uneditted! And fiction as well!
The next morning after a big breakfast I pulled into the parking lot of FT Technology. At least I thought it was the parking lot of FT Technology but the sign on the front of the door said differently.
I dialed Teresa and asked her [...]

Egrets and Muskrats

Got out for about an hour this last weekend to go and take some pictures. Here’s some of the results. I was actually pretty pleased with the results once I looked at them a second time.

As always…uneditted and raw…so pardon the mess!
Two days later I found myself stepping off the plane in Kaliwish Falls Montana. Even the airport alone had changed since I had left 10 years ago to join the Navy. After renting a car I drove the short distance into town and headed for one of [...]

Birthday loot, golf and other random things

The 5th was my birthday and I got some pretty good loot this year (not that any years are bad!). Wife got me a bunch of playstation 2 games and one of those steering wheel things. I haven’t played it yet, but I’m hoping to get to it today before we go out for [...]

Untitled story (pt 2)

This is a continuation of a story that I posted on 9/28/06. It’s raw and uneditted, so bear with me. I tend to write anything and everything that comes to mind while writing. Some of it probably doesn’t make any sense to anyone but myself, so I apologize.
No sooner had I slipped [...]

And now I remember…

Why golf can be so frustrating.
Went golfing at one of the courses I have wanted to play. The course was pretty good, but I totally sucked. I couldn’t buy a drive to save my life. If I took my driver out of the bag it was guaranteed to be a [...]
