Isn’t Life Strange?

This blog, at least in its current form, can now officially be considered an endangered, uh… website.
After gritting it out for three years with Go Daddy, I’ve determined that their web hosting service has too many performance issues to be considered reliable. I am exploring new options. One option would be to move this site […]

I’m thinking about shutting down the blog. You’ll know when it happens.

I hate political parties.
While it is true that 99.9 percent of the time I find myself siding with the candidates of one particular party, the decision to vote for that candidate is never based upon party politics. Yet I often find myself at odds with many politicians from that same party. Sometimes it’s just […]

I have nothing to say…

Check out this amazing photo of the Helix Nebula.

He’ll forever be immortalized as the villain Khan in the original Star Trek series. In the early 1980’s, a muscular Montalban appeared for a reprise of the role in the film “Star Trek II - The Wrath of Khan”.
Of course, I’ll also remember him as the pitch man for the Chrysler Cordoba, […]

It was a chilly day here today. Most people wore sweatshirts or jackets. I wore blue jeans and a Hawaiian shirt.
I decided to go back to Epcot today. For whatever reason, I am excited about taking pictures and have spent much of my time doing just that over the past couple of days. […]

About 30 minutes ago, the mayor of Galveston held a news conference from her bunker she shares with her staff and emergency personnel during hurricanes. It was announced in that press conference that forty percent of Galveston’s residents decided to stay at home and weather the storm. God help them.

By late afternoon tomorrow I expect there to be tropical storm force winds in my neighborhood. By about midnight or perhaps even earlier, we’ll […]

The Houston area is a flurry of activity today. People are busy boarding up their homes and making sure they have the right provisions to make it through the storm and the possible aftermath. Some folks are rightly nervous, and others are more or less stubborn and obstinate about the situation. Those […]

I just checked the latest storm models for Gustav. It seems to me that most of those models indicate that the storm will strike somewhere along the South Central Louisiana coast. This may very well be bad news for those living in New Orleans.
It’s still too early to know for certain […]

I like this one. I’m pretty proud of the way this turned out. After taking the test, there is a third graph image that shows your results in relationship to famous politicians and celebrities.

You are a […]

I didn’t want to leave the lakeside cottage this morning but as they say, all good things must come to an end. 
I snapped a few photos before I left and made my way to Wichita Kansas. 
As I’ve said, I had a fantastic time on this vacation. The time spent in Minnesota, at a […]
