Well? What are your thoughts?
There are a lot of grounds for both praise and criticism here…

While sanding down the boat, I found this logo at the bow on both sides. Anyone know it? Any ideas how to find it? I already tried a google image search…
Bringing home the canoe (1)
5/03/10 •
It was a long drive. 10 hours round trip, to get the canoe back home. It rained the whole way. By the time we got her rigged up to carry on the van, we were soaked to the bone.
She needs work, but she’s home now.

I’m picking up an old canoe (that was given to me for FREE) and driving it back to my house to begin the refurb.
I couldn’t be more excited about it.
It’s 16ft long, fiberglass, and of an unknown make and model.
GEAR REVIEW: A Tale of Two Shoes – Salomon Trail Running Shoe vs. Army Combat Boot (6)

What I didn’t anticipate, getting into hiking, is that in the 8 years between leaving the Infantry and starting to hike, my feet got soft … two years ago, through careful examination and quite a few blisters, I came to realize that what I need is a lightweight cross-trainer or a running shoe with good ankle support. What I don’t need is a heavy combat boot. Here’s the shoe I chose and how it has held up.

I purchased these little flash cards from a seller on ebay about 3 years ago, but I couldn’t find them on there as I wrote this. They are available HERE, however for about $8 which is pretty much what I payed for them.

I’m not a liberal.
I’m not a conservative.
I’m not even a libertarian or an independent.
I think and I vote.
What does “unconstitutional” mean? (6)
4/22/10 •
Whenever someone disagrees with a bill passed by Congress or signed into law by the President, they tend to say “that’s unconstitutional!” Many people who say this have never even read the Constitution, much less the cases that define the words in it. And that’s fine. It’s scary that they vote, but that’s fine. When the Supreme Court, however, makes a controversial ruling, people do the same thing. “That’s unconstitutional!” And that’s not fine. Those people are wrong even when they’re right.
ACTION ALERT: This is scary stuff. (8)

Sorry if this is old news to you, but this is some alarming stuff and I just found out about it, so I’m telling everyone I know – and that’s you dear reader. Once you’re done indulging the creepy side of yourself and looking up everyone you know, you need to remove yourself from this database.
