Ice Storm
I don't know where he (Kim du Toit) got the picture, but it is priceless.
Just Nuke' em
Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, "said Tuesday he favors developing new technology to remotely destroy the computers of people who illegally download music from the Internet."
Oh great, we don't have enough problems now with spam, hackers, persistant popups, and viruses. Of course, they promise not to sell the technology to China.
Metallica Rethinks the Internet
Three years ago they sued Napster, now they are offering free, unrestricted MP3 downloads of three concerts (if you buy their new album). Maybe this internet thing ain't so bad.
I Think
The recording industry reminds me of the American car manufacturers in the 70's. Instead of improving and updating their product and giving consumers (their customers) what they want, they insist on trying to remove the competition by whatever means possible and offering the same old (overpriced) crap.

Actual Phone Conversation
I answered the phone at work.
Caller: Transfer me to room 205 please.
Me: I'm sorry, 205 is a vacant room.
Caller: I know it's vacant can you transfer me please.
Me: 205 is vacant, there is no one in the room.
Caller: I know, I just need to be transferred to 205.
Me: Why do you want me to transfer you to a vacant room? There's nobody there. No one is checked into that room.
Caller: My girlfriend just checked into room 205.
Me: I believe you looking for a different hotel, no one checked into 205 today.
Caller: Is this the one by the Taco Bell?
Me: No, it's not. You want...
American Chopper
The Discovery channel as been doing some cool shows on motorcycles lately. My favorite is American Chopper. Luckily they replay it late at night so I can watch it at work. Here's a review of the show. I love the bikes and I'd love to make them too. I'm not into the whole Live to Ride, Ride to Live vibe though. That's great for some but other things come first for me.

Joe The Mailbox Killer
Joe the mailbox killer stopped by and paid me the 20 bucks it cost to fix my mailbox. He was honest about the whole thing and did what he said he would with no pestering. Good show! If only I knew the name of his company...Joe's Tractor something...I don't know. If you live near St. Cloud, FL and need someone with a tractor, look him up. Just hide your mailbox.
It's Hot!
There's a sign down the road displaying a temperature of 96 degrees. It was higher a little earlier according to a friend. I believe it's a little high but it's still killer hot out there. We were sitting on the front porch in the shade and there is a cool breeze but we have to screen it in because the bugs like the porch a little too much for my taste. Even better would be a screened pool in the back, now that's Florida living.

Words Cannot Express
how frustrating it is to be able to connect to the internet but not be able to connect to any websites. Server not found. I hate that. I tried and tried, disconnected and redialed, nothing. Rebooted, nothing. I started thinking something was wrong with my computer. I let it sit for a hour, then a few hours, but it still wouldn't work. This evening is the first I've been able to connect since my last post.
Oobi
James was sitting here with me wanting to play Oobi. He was asking all kind of questions like "What's this wire?" Power cord. Or "Look at the ant." The little bug icon on the Safari web browser that allows you to report bugs. It was at this point that he turned off my computer. Everything started closing and I couldn't stop it, like watching water going down the drain. Luckily it wasn't a long post. And he's not playing Oobi tonight, he knows not to touch the buttons.
Now he's supposed to be going to sleep but he's pulling out all stops to keep from going to bed. There are toys he has to put away and whatever else he can think of he has to do. He's giving me "the look", trying to make me laugh. Saying "tickle me dad." He has more energy than I do. I don't usually put him to sleep at night. Irma does that and she's not home. I put him in the crib for his nap and he is used to that but at night it's different. Irma lets him fall asleep in her arms on the sofa. He's just not gonna go down without a fight. I'm gonna have to get off the computer to get him to sleep.

Limited Time Only
For those interested in authentic Mississippi Delta blues - Now available: R.L. Burnside- First Recordings. Recorded in 1968. There are 3 free mp3's to download, too.

What does that mean? Blogger wants me to post more content? What did I forget?
Ok, fine. I installed my mailbox today and found it was more damaged than I thought. Somehow it was dented on both sides and the board it attaches to was broken in half. I used some dirt to refill the post hole, it's still alittle loose. As a bonus, I also dug up a fire ant hill. I hate those buggers. James carried the new mailbox out to the road for me and wanted to use the screwdriver. He's not strong enough for that yet. Joe said he would stop by some time in the next couple of days, let's see.
Irma and James went to Grandma's house after lunch and they are spending the night. I got some sleep yesterday and got up at 6:30 and mowed the lawn. All the rain we've been getting is making it grow fast. I'll go to sleep when I get home. I like sleeping first thing in the morning so I wake up in the afternoon early enough to do something if I want. Unfortunately I can only do that when no one is home.
Results Without Effort
I've been realizing more and more that Americans want results without effort. It's becoming a sickness. We want a healthy toned body while eating potato chips and soda laying on the sofa watching Survivor. Any amount of discomfort will cause people to abandon their newest exersice machine or dietary change. Our bodies can't take the processed foods we feed it every day. We fill ourselves with food our bodies can't use, get sicker and sicker, then go to the great medical profession for pills to make it better.
Scientists can't do it better than God. Scientists can only use what they know to make their medicines and vitamins. Unfortunately the vast realm of knowledge is like an iceberg. We see the tip and we use what we see to create our medicines and vitamins and process our food, taking out kernal of life in the food and replacing it with synthetic garbage. There is so much beneath the tip that we don't know about though. And we don't know what we don't know.
The same goes for the fertilizers we use to grow crops. The land is badly depleted. Synthetic fertilizers only provide the minimum needs of the plant to grow. They don't provide the wide range of vitamins and minerals we need. If it's not available to the plant it's not in the vegetable or fruit. The tomatos at the supermarket taste like cardboard, the watermelon is not sweet. The vegetables and fruits available today do not provide us with the nutrients our bodies crave.
Read The Bad News About Organic Food.
Read The Thesis of Body Mineral Balancing It's part of the New Zealand Health Information Network. Very interesting. Check out their Mineral section! Bookmark it, study it.
"The introduction of artifical fertilizers at the beginning of the last century greatly increased crop yeilds but put back into the soil only three nutrients:- Nitrate, phosphate, potassium, (NPK), Sufficient for crops to flourish but nowhere near enough for humans to flourish which is over 70, according to most nutritionists."

The Mailbox
I stopped at Home Depot this morning on my way home and bought a mailbox. The cashier said, "Your mailbox got hit, didn't it?" "Yes," I replied, "How did you know that?" She just smiled. Obviously she was guessing, I could have been buying it for my new house or just buying a bigger one or replacing an old rusty one. Who knows. All I know is Joe from Joe's Tractor something or other was working across the street and backed into my mailbox. ( I live on a very narrow road.) He was nice enough to tell me about it and told me he would pay for it. And my mail got wet. It couldn't take a break from raining one day.

A Few Things
I haven't bought any songs yet but I've looked through Apple's iTunes Store and it does look very promising and it's causing quite a stir. It seems some confidential details of the music service have been leaked to the public. It's an interesting read if you download music.
Palestinians living in Bagdad are not having an easy time of it now that Saddam is not paying their rent. It's funny how all the Arab nations rally around the Palestinians when it comes to driving Israel into the sea but want absolutely nothing to do with them otherwise. The Palestinians would be so much better off if they made friends with the Israelis and lived, learned and worked with them. And the Israelis would welcome it. Palestinians lucky enough to live in Israel have been treated so much better than Palestinians living anywhere else, especially Arab countries.
Scientists in Europe are searching for the so-called "God Particle." What they are doing is interesting, smashing protons and using particle detectors to find the collision of sub-atomic quarks. The article says, "Every second, it will generate a volume of data equivalent to all the information handled by the world's telecom companies in a year." That's remarkable. Also remarkable: the price, the size and the power.
They want so desperately to prove creation without a creator. The end of the article backs that up. " Although Dr Cashmore and his colleagues cringe when they hear anyone talk of the God particle, they are effusive on its possible discovery.
"What the Higgs does is give you a mechanism for generating a mass. It would be spectacularly good to find the Higgs," he said. "To get the mechanism or the underlying theory how this will work would be an enormous step forward. But let's leave God out of it."
They are also very sure of themselves. For instance, they know, seemingly precisely, how old the universe is. You see, astronomers have seen back to 300,000 years after the big bang, they say they can go back further.
"The astronomers are rather limited; they can only go back about 300,000 years after the big bang. It is only at that point that electromagnetic waves, and lightwaves propagate. We can go back further."
I don't know if they are right or not about the age of the universe. They may be right. I know better than to blindly believe someone just because this world has bestowed on them a scientific degree. The religion of science (I know they hate that, but that's what it's become) is as full of politics as any other government, religion or club. I do believe it's a little much to say, confidently, they can go back to about 300,000 years after the big bang.
What I know is this. Very simply, Genesis 1:1 says "God created the heaven and the earth." And Genesis 1:2 says (properly translated from Hebrew) "And the earth became without form and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." The amount of time between those two verses could be billions of years, it doesn't say. God creates perfection, not chaos. Something happened to the earth after verse 1:1 to cause a great destruction on the earth. The creation verses of Genesis do not describe the creation of the universe or the earth, they describe the re-creation.
That's all I'm gonna say about it (applause here). For further info go here.

There Will Not Be Peace In The Middle East
Not as long as there are human beings in charge over there. If you ever read a headline that says "Peace in the Middle East", get away from there as fast as you can because a truly horrific war is about to begin.

Last Beetle
It seems, after nearly 70 years, VW will cease production of the old style, aircooled VW Beetle (yes, they still make them) at the Puebla, Mexico plant at the end of July. I can find no news links yet but here's one from the DrudgeReport (it won't last long).

I got a package for the kids from Mom today - Thank you. They are some really nice books, I know they will love them, when they get home to see them. (James: tonight, Joshua: I don't know, maybe tomorrow.) They went to Grandma's house.

Burden Of Proof On Saddam
That hasn't changed. WMDs: Don't Change the Ground Rules
Eco BS
Steisand is suing an eco-activist for posting photos of her estate online. Michelle Malkin goes into the details here. Wanna see what the fuss is about? Here it is.
What a bunch of crap.
Barry Manilow Broke his Nose
File this under strange but true. He bumped into a wall in his house and passed out for 4 hours.
"I veered left instead of right and slammed into the wall," said Manilow, 59.
He needs surgery to correct his nose. How bizarre is that. Maybe he passed out first.

Tax Cuts or Welfare?
I'm not sure why people don't understand this, I think they just don't want to. Ignorance pays.
The new tax bill exempts another three million-plus low-income workers from any federal tax liability whatsoever, so you'd think the nation's class warriors would be pleased. But instead we are all now being treated to their outrage because the law doesn't go further and "cut" income taxes for those who don't pay them.

Fainting Goats
You just can't make this stuff up. Quoting the site:
"Fainting goats?" you ask. "This must be a joke!"
"No," I reply, "they are definitely real." Fainting goats are a slightly smaller version of the standard goat, who, believe it or not, thanks to a genetic condition called myotonia congenita, actually seem to faint when they are startled.

Did You Know...
Scorpions can crawl on the ceiling? Yes they can. I was sitting on the sofa with Irma and James looked up and said "Look, a bug!" I looked up and said "Holy shit!, a scorpion!" Then James began repeating what I said and Irma smacked me. I have no idea what it was doing or how it got up there. Since it's a vaulted ceiling I had to stand on the arm of the sofa with a broom to get it down and crushed it and flushed it. It's time to poison the environment with some serious spraying again. Oh yes it is! The funny thing is we've been bug free this year except for these scorpions. It's the second one I've found in the house but we've seen a few outside, previous years I saw only dead ones.
Finding Nemo
I took James to see Finding Nemo today. It's the first time he's been to the movies. Before the movie even started he was saying he had to get out of there. He watched it mostly but kept saying he wanted to go and kept getting up. At one point he took his ring off (Irma just put it on him this morning) and dropped it on the ground. We found it. He did enjoy it though and laughed a few times and I saw him hiding his face from me in the sad part. When we got home he said he wanted to see it again. I liked it, it was pretty good and I don't like cartoons.
Scorpions can crawl on the ceiling? Yes they can. I was sitting on the sofa with Irma and James looked up and said "Look, a bug!" I looked up and said "Holy shit!, a scorpion!" Then James began repeating what I said and Irma smacked me. I have no idea what it was doing or how it got up there. Since it's a vaulted ceiling I had to stand on the arm of the sofa with a broom to get it down and crushed it and flushed it. It's time to poison the environment with some serious spraying again. Oh yes it is! The funny thing is we've been bug free this year except for these scorpions. It's the second one I've found in the house but we've seen a few outside, previous years I saw only dead ones.
Finding Nemo
I took James to see Finding Nemo today. It's the first time he's been to the movies. Before the movie even started he was saying he had to get out of there. He watched it mostly but kept saying he wanted to go and kept getting up. At one point he took his ring off (Irma just put it on him this morning) and dropped it on the ground. We found it. He did enjoy it though and laughed a few times and I saw him hiding his face from me in the sad part. When we got home he said he wanted to see it again. I liked it, it was pretty good and I don't like cartoons.
