I downloaded the Safari browser for Mac OS X and all I can say is wow! It works great and loads fast. It needs tabs though, that's my only problem with it. Of course, it's still in beta. Nice work Apple.
The more I use and learn about OS X the more impressed I am. I can't say enough good things about it. It's fabulous! Absolutely fabulous!
Oh, I almost forgot. X11 for Mac OS X!

I just found out my mother-in-law witnessed a murder/attempted suicide! She was going to her english class and watched in horror as this girls boyfriend chased her down and stabbed her to death and then himself. She's so upset. I really don't know any more, it just happened this morning. What a terrible thing to have to see.
I don't know the reason this happened today but someone who I worked with (different departments) did that to some poor girl on her college campus. Shot her then himself because he couldn't have her. What kind of crap is that? At least he died. Anyone who does that doesn't deserve to keep living. I can't for the life of me figure out why some guys get like that. If someone doesn't want to be around me just go ahead and go. If you're not with me because you want to be then what is the use? Where's the fun in that? Maybe it's time for a little introspection and move on, not force her to stay by intimidation or force.

Let's see if this actually makes publication - blogger doesn't seem to be working.

This is a good one. Penn of Penn and Teller on his crotch being grabbed by security at the airport.
And the followup.
Train terror: 'All Americans will die!'
And New Arms Race in Asia?
That's quite a mix.

I just spent a couple of hours looking through some photo albums of Japan at the web site of Ejovi Nuwere. He seems like a great guy and I loved his pictures. I wish I could go back for an extended visit. I liked his Hitchhiking across Japan series. I rode a motorcycle from Tokyo to Hiroshima and stopped in Kyoto on the way. What a beautiful country. Bizarre sometimes, but never boring. Now that I'm older I think I would more appreciate the experience, on a deeper level. Not that I didn't but, well, time flies and before you know it you have to go home.
We spent Dec. 25 in Hiroshima and that is a very moving experience. On the way home when we were in Kyoto it started to snow. We were running low on cash and there is a treacherous (in snow) mountain pass to continue to Tokyo. And it was getting dark. The snow was accumulating and we were already out of the city. We found a hotel but it was one of those love motels and it was just too much money for the night. They jacked it up because they knew we were on a bike. We went to a restaurant and ate and sat for a couple of hours. There was another couple that had the same problem. We both left at the same time. There was at least an inch or so on the roads and the other couple decided to pay for the love motel. We didn't have enough money so we rode on. Just a couple of miles further we found a ryokin, a japanese inn. It was very reasonable and warm and very traditional. It's sort of like staying in someones house. In the morning the bike was covered in snow. The roads cleared and as we went through the mountains I knew we would never have made it through the night before. I was so glad for that inn.
By the way, Ejovi Nuwere wrote a book called Hacker Cracker. Check out the site.

I have a few things to add. You have to read Kaddish For Zelig posted on The Truth about Israel There is always a link to this site in my list of blogs. These people don't deserve what they are going through and have more than earned their right to exist as a nation through their own persistance, intelligence, hard work, and blood. Too much blood.
And I know most people don't believe it, but the nation of Israel consists mostly of descendants of the tribe of Judah mixed with Levi, Simeon and some Benjamin. In the bible Judah and Israel were two separate nations. The House of Israel to the north with it's capital at Samaria and the House of Judah with it's capital at Jerusalem. I &II Kings and I & II Chronicles deal with the seperate histories of Judah and Israel. II Kings 16:5,6 shows Israel at war with Judah.
Israel was taken captive over many years by Assyria and were brought out of Israel where they eventually were sifted through the nations. II Kings 17:6-18 tells you why. Only Judah was left. Judah has always kept the Sabbath and therefore did not lose sight of who they were. The Israelitish nations completely lost all knowledge of their ancestry. Today you find The United States of America and Great Britain the only nations ever who could fulfill the prophecies concerning Israel, which were to become the greatest single nation and the greatest company of nations. Brother nations. Mannassah and Ephraim.
I'm not gonna go through all this, you most likely couldn't care less anyway. Suffice to say, if you are interested, go here and choose Europe and America in Prophecy, put in your address, click Submit and they will send it right out. Free of charge and free of anoyances. They won't bother you for anything else. Read it ONLINE here but it's very long.
OK, I didn't mean to start rambling on like that. My ramblings have nothing to do with that website - it's a great website!
I did want to add a few links:
Coming to a neigborhood near you: The Mujahadeen Poisons Handbook

And to round it out, how about Best of the Web

I did watch 'A Beautiful Mind' yesterday - it was good, I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it again though.
When I'm at work I have usually a couple of hours worth of work (when it's slow) and then I just have to babysit the hotel for the rest of the night. Most of the time I eat after I finish my paperwork and one thing that never ceases (my mind went blank for a second trying to spell cease. Hold the jokes please.) to amaze me is no matter what time I finish, even on the slowest nights (like tonight) as soon as I take the food from the microwave, sit down and put the first bite in my mouth - the doorbell rings. It drives me nuts. Nobody before that, nobody after.
I went traveling to Japan tonight on the web and made a few interesting finds. PhotoTokyo looks interesting. But SushiCam really caught my eye. He has a journal entry about climbing Mt. Fuji here complete with photos. I climbed Mt. Fuji at night and got to the top about an hour before dawn. It was awesome watching the sun rise from there. I don't remember any bad smells like he says, but it was a hard climb. It's not something you want to do again, at least not for a long time.
I walked up with a woman I met on the tour (she turned out to be an officer, 1st lieut., I think), which turned out to be a smart move because she brought a flashlight. Women always seem to think of the obvious. Climbing all night, you might need a flashlight, eh. She was the outdoor type and we kept a good pace. I wasn't worn out by the climb but by the time we got back down I remember saying "never again". It was cold at the top too, and thats the first place I remember drinking tsubu tsubu. I may have masacred that name but it's a very pulpy orange juice and tastes great. I have a real hard time finding it here, sometimes in an oriental grocery.
I just did a search and look what I found. I guess I did spell it right.
I brought a few cd's full of mp3's and I want to burn a couple of cd's to listen to, so I think I'll give the internet a rest for a little while. See ya.

I came across this blog yesterday: dnainjapan - it hasn't been updated since August but it talks about the hot summers in Tokyo. It brought back alot of memories for me, so I especially enjoyed reading it. I was stationed at Yokota AB in Fussa, a suburb of Tokyo. On those hot days we'd take our motorcycles up to the mountains, to Okutama I believe. There was a reservoir there and it was cooler but I found a little road leading further up the mountain and if you park and walk back into the woods there was a waterfall and a natural pool that was so beautiful and inviting. The only problem was it was so much cooler there you didn't want to go swimming anymore! Talk about a tease!
I found another new (to me anyway) religion: Volkswagenism Now, I've always liked Volkswagens and I own one but come on people! I know, I know, tongue in cheek.
HBO is not doing too bad tonight. I saw Don't Say a Word. I've seen it before but I like that movie, even though I didn't think I would when it came out. Now they're showing Men of Honor. I like that one too. And at 4:30 am: A Beautiful Mind - I've never seen it but from what I've heard of it I most likely will watch it. I can't put 100% attention to it anyway.

Here's an article that points out the idiocy that is the last hope of mankind called the United Nations. No longer a player on the world stage. Thank you R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr.
Linda Chavez writes When delusions are added to the mix
Ann Coulter notes - Journalism: Where Even The Men Are Women
Larry Elder did an Interview with a former bombmaker
Thomas Sowell wrote Dangerous democracy
Rededication to 'the proposition' was penned (typed) by David Limbaugh
Which brings me to this:
The future of the United States of America is grim. From what I understand of the Bible (and you and most christians may believe that is nothing), the world is in for a very rough ride and the worst of it will begin in Jerusalem. Jerusalem is the stumbling block. The United States of Europe will sweep into the Middle East to take control with the help of the Vatican and the (probably) next Pope. The United States of America will be in economic ruin and many cities physical ruin - devestated. Devestated by Europe. Chinese and possibly Russian armies will head to the Middle East to challenge Europe. But all the armies will fight what they believe is an invasion from outer space. And they will all be destroyed.
I don't want to see this happen, it won't be pleasant. I don't look forward to seeing this happen to people. I do look forward to what will happen immediately afterward - the return of Jesus Christ to take over all the nations of the world and to rule them with a rod of iron. No more tears, no more fear, no more sick bastards raping and killing little girls and leaving their broken and dead body on the side of the road like trash. And no more taking 20 years to put them to death for doing it. This sick society we live in now will be gone and I won't be sorry for that.
I am not saying this to convert you. I can't do that anyway. In fact I know you don't believe that I know anything about what God has planned. "All the theologians and churches don't know but you do"? It's OK really, if I'm wrong you can live your life in peace and I hope it's long and prosperous. What I believe only really effects me... if I'm wrong. But when you see these things happening before your very eyes, perhaps, if you remember and pray, God will grant you repentance and allow you to take part in the first resurrection.
Revelation 1:7 Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.
Now you can get back to something important.

I can't believe this. A reporter got fired for telling the truth. Political correctness is a curse on this country and because of it we are completely unable to defend ourselves. We are cowering little weenies. And when the bombs start dropping on this country, and they will, I hope they hit the universities first and the newsrooms second. Here's the link. This is what he wrote: "Except for Jordan and Egypt, no Arab nation has a peace treaty with Israel. They've had 54 years to get over it. They choose not to." Oh yeah, he should be fired for that.
I was gonna add more but a friend (Abner) just called to go to lunch so I have to get ready. I shall return. You have been warned.

And Best of the web never fails bring out the truth in a humorous way.
Wanna see a list of the Most Corrupt Leaders of the Year?
Let's see we have 12 million and we only want 6 million...hmm. If we chop them all up with machetes...no that will take too much manpower. I know, let's cut off their food supplies and starve them. Yea, that's the ticket. "We don't want all these extra people".
American commonality...is it too late?
Cal Thomas writes Why not cloning?
Thomas Sowell writes of Dangers ahead -- from the left
I almost forgot about this one. Do you have kids? Throwing their weight around
James is feeding the turtles. He loves feeding them and has taken over the job. I have to get up from here, take a shower and do some cleaning. Kids are so messy. Adults aren't much better! Gotta do wash too.

Which reminds me: T Model Ford: Bad Man
We had some serious rain all evening and into the night - finally clearing around 2am. I'm glad it wasn't me out there watching the fireworks at Disney! I could hear them though, I thought it was thunder at first. It was raining so hard for so long everything is flooded here at the hotel. The lawn and flower beds are overflowing onto the sidewalks. Water was seaping in the side door in the lobby. There must have been alot of people at Pleasure Island because they've been coming in here all night. One guy needed to put his clothes in the dryer. The streets were flooded too. There was a car stuck in the road on my way to work and my car missed a couple of times, I was just hoping not to stall.
Now I'm just so tired I want to go home. Irma took the kids to her mothers for the night so I can get some sleep when I go home. James got his hair cut yesterday. He wanted to get it cut and was so good waiting. He just played with some Monster Inc toys they had. When it was his turn he sat down and held still but after the barber got done cutting around his ears James announced he was "done". He did sit nicely for the rest of the cut but he kept looking around and saying he was done every few minutes. Joshua and I got our hair cut too - uneventfully of course.
