I was bitten

Yeehaw, Pearl Jam is going on tour again. In case you missed the fact that I love Pearl Jam - I LOVE PEARL JAM. Fortunately I re-joined the Ten Club (their official fan club) a while back, which has now helped me get tickets to yet another concert. Unfortunately, this process is not as easy [...]

The idea behind packing for a move is that you get rid of all the crap you don’t want/need anymore and only take the good stuff. A purging, if you will. On that front, our move was a complete and utter failure. We took just about everything. That means the onus has now been shifted [...]

But as I am finding out with homeownership, there’s [...]

An act of civil pointlessness

What do you get when you cross a bunch of clueless, idealistic (is that redundant) 20-somethings, half a dozen cars, and some video cameras? This time you get a very misguided “demonstration” against speed limits. Oh sure, it sounds like a great idea - have 4 cars drive the speed limit side-by-side to illustrate the [...]
