Global Warming? Just kidding!

Well a growing number of scientists are pointing to evidence that the planet is entering a mini-iceage.  Which, if true, kind of puts a damper on the whole “global warming crisis.”

I recently read a Star Tribune article about how Obama built this huge communications network and that is one of the reasons he won the Presidency.  In essence I agree with him.  I disagree with a lot of his policies and liberal viewpoints, but this is one area where I think Washington needs improvement.  Understand [...]

Well haven’t seen the weather map look like this for a while.  Looks like snow is just starting to hit Jamestown now.  (For those who don’t know, Jamestown is between Bismarck and Fargo in North Dakota.)
Well, it had to come sometime.  My friends from down south think im nuts, but give me a ND winter [...]

NaNoWriMo - Starts Nov. 1st

This is a fun thing… 50,000 words in a single month. I started last year, but dropped the ball fairly quickly and never got back on track. I have high hopes for this year.  I have been working on getting started on a writing project with Ede for a while.  My thinking is [...]

Muppet Marauder

Ok - I got a kick out of this one.  A dude is driving a brit car around germany and apparently speeding up past the cams and posing a muppet in the passenger seat.  (Which would be the drivers seat to those of us who drive on the right (read correct) side of the road.)
I [...]
