Lost in OK

Well, looks like the apartment is safe and sound and the storm is past. Well, that was too close for comfort. I miss having to worry about heavy snow. But seriously, safe and sound and so are the parents. Another one passed and I’m thankful it’s gone. The tree’s outside are missing a lot of leaves but outside of that, everything’s ok. Looks like it passed about 4 blocks away, can’t see any damage, probably will see some tomorrow.

Sorry I’ve been posting so little the last few days, but I am hopeful the down time will be good in the long term. I am working on a rather massive rant about where individual rights come from and more specifically, who does my knowledge belong to. This all got started from a wonderful debate going on between myself and my friend Steve. We’ll see how it all turns out.

Here is the final gallery from my New Orleans vacation. The first part contains pictures of a serious Gin game (primarily taken by my good friend Rob). The rest are more night scenes of a city filled with characters. Let me know what ya’ think. [Read More]

Sorry about the delay on the galleries, but ‘sobering up’ time took precedence over website updates. I just got back into town after the twelve hour drive, so only one gallery tonight. I’ll post the final gallery tomorrow night. Let me know what you think . . . [Read More]

A little bit of Redneck humor . . .

You’ll Know Yours Is A Redneck Church If:

• The finance committee refuses to provide funds for the purchase of a chandelier because none of the members knows how to play one.

• People ask, when they learn that Jesus fed the 5000, whether the two fish were bass or catfish, and what bait was used to catch ’em.

• When the pastor says, “I’d like to ask Bubba to help take up the offering,” five guys and two women stand up.

Well, here’s the first gallery of my New Orleans vacation. I spent all of yesterday driving and driving hard so the gallery is pretty small. A twelve hour drive primarily in rainy conditions doesn’t leave much time for photography. However, this trip was fun. I camped last night in beautiful Tickfaw state park, which I highly recommend. However, if you decide to visit in early spring, bring bug spray and lots of it or you’ll bleed to death, I assure you. Woke up early this morning, had breakfast at a charming little diner and made my way into New Orleans along I-55 which I have renamed the bayou highway. A miracle of modern engineering, I-55 runs for 50 miles elevated high above marshland as far as the eye can see. Just got checked into the hotel and got a much needed shower. More soon . .

Well, the best way to sum up last night it to say I have a vicious hangover . . . However, I’m putting up a gallery nonetheless. This gallery is made up of pictured from the final part of my drive into New Orleans and my first evening there. [Read More]

Man this is really sad. No more Publisher’s Clearing House Sweepstakes! What’s next, no more Price is Right?

Well, to all six fans out there, you are only getting one post for today. Today, I’m going on vacation and heading down to the big easy. However, since I’ve completed the 12th step in my Geek’s Anonymous group, acceptance, not all is lost. My hotel has high speed internet access so I’ll be posting pictures daily starting on Thursday. However, the ranting will just have to wait until I get back.

This insanity must stop! Convicted bomber Terry Nichols will die in prison. He will then be dispatched promptly to hell and spend the rest of eternity there. However, trying to speed up his departure by throwing millions of dollars at a trial that hasn’t even started in sheer stupidity. We have already spent 2.5 million dollars on a defense that hasn’t even made it to trial. Drop the charges and let the man rot. This is a waste of my money.
