03Jul08

My buddy Rod recently had a really bizarre and unprofessional experience with Kathryn MacGeraghty and her team at Blue Sage Realty. It sounds like a good place to avoid at all costs. You can read more about his experience here.

Nightclubs Are Hell

15Aug07

I just ran across a brilliant article titled “Nightclubs are hell. What’s cool or fun about a thumping, sweaty dungeon full of posing idiots?” in the Guardian Unlimited. There are many statements in there that hold true for me, but I think this is my favorite:

I used to feel intimidated by people like this; […]

The Housing Bubble Crisis Becomes a World Economy Crisis

I really wish I’d taken my own advice a couple of years ago and tried to sell my place to instead rent for awhile. The bubble has burst, and it’s not pretty.

Stocks take a turn for the worse as investors scoff at the Fed’s decision to step in yet again, this time […]

A Soldier Speaks Out On Craigslist

My last post reminded me of an interesting factoid that I keep forgetting to mention.
According to my server logs, two of the biggest fans of my Snacks On A Plane spoof are the US Department of Justice, and The Pentagon.

Andy Griffith Is A Terrorist!

22Jan07

I can’t believe a stand-up guy like Andy Griffith would be associated with terrorism, but after watching this short clip, I’m convinced we should send him to Abu Ghraib and beat the hell out of him.

Photos From The Nebraska Ice Storm of 2006

06Jan07

The same recent storm which pulverized the area I grew-up in had a completely different effect in Kansas and Nebraska. In these photos, you can see how damaging an ice storm can be.
I remember having an ice storm in Colorado sometime around 1984 (I was 5 or 6) which was not […]

My dad sent me some photos of the aftermath of the snow in Walsh, the town where I grew-up. Crazyness.
