Promiscuous Tipping
On July - 28 - 2010
Lets pretend you’ve gone out to dinner, enjoyed a fantastic meal with service to match, paid the bill, and now its time to leave a tip. Here’s my thought on this hypothetical situation.
What’s a couple extra bucks in the grand scheme of an evening? Probably not much, maybe a soda or two, but to a waitress or waiter, it’s much more. So go on, add a couple extra bucks above normal for those that serve you, the amount is meaningless, but very meaningful to them…

Crazy Drunk Driver
On June - 17 - 2010
This is kind of old news, but its too interesting to pass up:
How does a person get to this point? I mean its like 6am and this lady is very drunk, driving at the airport… Crazy enough she gets away with barely a scratch despite her car pretty much blowing up…
Man in Cave – Manchild in Tent
On May - 31 - 2010
People like Dugout Dick fascinate me. After coming home from WW2’s Pacific theater this gentleman basically lived on his own, with only the occasional guest, in spartan-like living arrangements carved out of Idaho’s Salmon River bank for sixty years. This past week I returned from a week long backpacking trip to Tennessee’s Smokey Mountains in which I too lived in reduced living conditions, a two man tent. One week was enough, Nature +1, Ben 0. The reason for this post is that I admire Dugout Dick as a robust life from a different time, almost mythic, like Paul Bunyan, for Dugout D figured out how to make yogurt from within his cave; this, in my book, qualifies as a semi mythic feat. I also appreciate how he enjoyed his simple existence of endlessly quoting the Bible from his little hole in the wall, and how, despite these simple ways ended up in a National Geographic, a book or two, and a couple words dedicated on TRM…
Legend of the Seeker
On May - 10 - 2010
So I just found out that a show my wife and I love is being canceled… Its called Legend of the Seeker. Its a great show based on the Sword of Truth books by Terry Goodkind. Its one of the very few shows/movies that I like better than the books. It is really loosely based on the books and doesn’t really follow the book all that well, but it really stands on its own. So if you’ve seen the show or just feel like helping out, please sign this petition or go to http://www.saveourseeker.com/ to see other ways to help… 
Both seasons are available to instant view on Netflix and the last 4 episodes are available on Hulu, though I highly recommend watching the episodes in order.

Welcome to Heaven…
On April - 2 - 2010
“Gore, Clinton & Obama in Heaven.”
Al Gore, Bill Clinton and Barrack Obama go to heaven…
God addresses Al first.. ”Al, what do you believe in?”
Al replies: “Well, I believe that I won that election, but that it was your will that I did not serve..And I’ve come to understand that now.”
God thinks for a second and says: “Very good. Come and sit at my left..”
God then addresses Bill. ”Bill, what do you believe in?”
Bill replies: ”I believe in forgiveness. I’ve sinned, but I’ve never held a grudge against my fellow man, and I hope no grudges are held against me.”
God thinks for a second and says: “You are forgiven, my son. Come and sit at my right.”Then God addresses Barrack. ”Barrack, what do you believe in?”
Barrack replies: ”I believe you’re in my chair.”
The Drive Thru Can Undo any Sort of Cool
On April - 1 - 2010
It’s true, no matter who you are, you sound like a dork when ordering food at a drive thru. Example, yesterday I was waiting behind a very normal looking person in the drive thru lane, normal that is, until the person started ordering; hells bells it was bad! It was like this loud banal voice asking to hold the pickles or go lite on the ice. Go ahead, listen! You’ll see what I mean. No matter how cool you are, the voice and words that issue forth from your mouth when ordering undoes it all!
