Hola la Vista

Tuesday, September 19th, 2006

It’s pushing 10pm and I’m trying to do some time-consuming things on my computer.  All of them are my OCD colliding with my gadget addiction.  A couple of windows back on my computer, Windows Vista RC1 is downloading.  I’m going to give it a go as my main operating system.  That would be EXTREMELY unwise [...]

I had to take a picture of this today.  After training, we got on Highway 200 South and hopped over the border into South Carolina to take advantage of their lower gas taxes.  At the gas station close to our house, 87 octane is going for $2.499 per gallon.  As you can see from the [...]

Change

85 year old Birthday Party

Saturday, September 2nd, 2006

Today was the official celebration for Papaw (My Mom's Father) and his 85th birthday (born August 31, 1921). We left around 10am this morning to drive 3 hours to the NC mountains for the party at the 'Pout House'.  It is a very cozy cabin that Papaw has progressively built over the past decade and [...]
