Hello Everybody!
Well, another weekend is winding down, and another week is getting to wind up. This was a 3-day weekend for me, a little perk of being a federal worker, and I decided Thursday afternoon that I needed a little "vacation". Since I didn't give myself much time to really plan, I put together a road trip in New Mexico. The first day took me to Los Alamos and Bandelier National Park and spending the night in Santa Fe. A pretty good day, a mix of petroglyphs and satellite dishes for scenery. Santa Fe was a zoo, it seemed like they needed a urban planner, because traffic was beyond crazy. Saturday I drove down to Albuquerque, where I visited the Natural Science, Atomic Energy, and Unser Racing Museums. The Natural Science Museum display was about dinosaurs and evolution, which really isn't my thing, but some of the displays were interesting. At the Atomic museum, I got to see a documentary on the Manhattan Project, which was pretty interesting. One interesting little fact was that they hired only illiterate janitors at Los Alamos so they couldn't read the garbage they were emptying. My last stop was the Unser Racing Museum, where they had a few cars and memorabilia on display. Overall, I had a great trip. I also took pictures, and posted them in my new picasa account, which is the top link. Anyway, I better go, the NASCAR race is winding down. Hasta Luego!

Tag, You're Not It
Checking out the news this morning, and there was a story that just got to me.
Playing tag now a no-no at some US schools
Basically schools are now so afraid of being sued that kids aren't allowed to play. How sad is that? Next thing you know there will be no recess and kids will spend 8 hours a day sitting at their desks, taking their Ritalin. Oh wait....

Then there was.....
Greetings Program!
Well, take 2. I already wrote this once, but I didn't think to make a temporary copy, even with the internets being screwy. Guess what happened. DUH! Anyway, maybe I'll make this one shorter, since I have less time before I can split. Right now I am putting in resource data for a national inventory. Boring assed work, especially when you get to put in the same thing over and over when the internet goes. This month has been flying by, ma and pa were over this last weekend to see the grandkids (my niece Lacy and nephew Zeb) and pick up some world famous San Luis Valley potatoes. It was nice to get to visit them, and play with Zeb. He's hit the terrible twos, so he goes from being cute to throwing a tantrum in like 5 seconds. Got an e-mail today from another friend that is getting married, the number of single freinds I have are dwindling. My English Brown Ale is ready to bottle, so I get to sanitize, squirt, and cap tonight. Big fun. Anyway, Later Days!

Wasted Days and Wasted Nights
Man, what a wasted weekend!
Right now I'm at the end of a three day weekend (Thank you Chris Columbus). Saturday was fine, I went over to my brothers and helped him out all day, and played with my nephew, but no fishing, the river was at almost flood levels. Sunday morning I woke up and felt kind bad, and by 10:00 I felt the migraine coming on, and I hoped I could nip it on the bud. I layed around all day, trying to keep the throbbing to a minimum, felt better by dinner all the way until I went to bed, when I took another dose of migraine meds. I had forgotten that migraine pills are basically a big Tylenol with a huge ass shot of caffeine. I slept for about an hour, then I woke up and tried to go to sleep, which finally happened at 3:00, and the alarm went off at 6:00 so I could do laundry. I did get a little bit accomplished around the house cleaning wise, the floor is vacuumed and counters cleaned. Back to the grind tomorrow, and a visit from the parental units at the end of the week. Later days!

Open Letter to Perspective Copycat School Shooters
Dear Psychotic, Delusional Attention whores-
You may think that you need to storm into these schools and either kill and rape to make yourself cool and a instant star. It's not, and you seem to just put ideas into the other kooks head. First here in Colorado, in a nice mountain town. Sure you gave the Denver news their ratings and back on the national scene since Columbine (which they are loving), but you destoryed a small town and many people's lives. And now someone decided they had to rampage in Amish Country? What the fuck? The Amish? There's so many reasons to rage against them and their quilts. C'mon. For the next person that gets an idea from watching these CNN reports thinking its the way make yourself famous, here's an idea: just skip a step and put the gun staight to your head and pull the trigger, you're going to do it since you are a coward and can't own up to. Dirty Cowards, all of ya!

TGIF
Hello Sports Fans!
Well, it's Friday, and while most people are out at the bars drinking celebrating their survival of the week and trying to hook up with the person of their dreams (or the one night stand), but I decided to skip the whole bar scene. I got a variety of beer, a football game, U of Nevada Reno vs. Northwestern, and a comfortable couch. I usually don't have much energy on Fridays, I must be getting old. Bars are ok if you are out with a bunch of friends, I'm more partial to a small, quiet place where you can actually talk to people without yelling over thumping beats of 90's dance music. Besides, the beer is half the price here, and I don't have to wait for someone to serve me. bonus! Anyway, seems like we have skipped a season here in the San Luis Valley, it has been in the 30's and raining, making it miserable to be outside for any length of time, since it was like 80 degrees last week. Guess I'll just have to buck up ;) Well, back to the football game. Check ya later!
