NewsMonster RSS Aggregator [popup image 104k]
Found a new toy, and finally was able to get it installed. I think the best thing about this aggregator is that it lives inside Mozilla, so I have the one app open, without having to jump around.

::: posted by Scott at 10:04 PMWell, it looks like I might have an opeing in my Grand Canyon trek in a couple of weeks. One of the participants has some prior family stuff to take care of ( pretty important stuff, I must admit ). If there is anyone in who wants to take this spot, let me know. I am not positive about the availability of the spot, so don't buy any expensive airline tickets. If you are in AZ, and can either meet is in/around Phoenix or up at the GC, let me know.
::: posted by Scott at 04:53 PMI picked up the DVD 'Chicago' this weekend and watched it about a dozen times ( have I ever mentioned how I love musicals? ), so now I have all the songs stuck in my head. Do you know how hard it is to code while singing 'All That Jazz'?

Link thanks to Abram.
::: posted by Scott at 10:55 AMYeah! The AM/PM down the block from me has regular AND midgrade unleaded, and at a price less then I paid for regular on friday ($2.29 a gallon). I paid that much because I was at a half tank in a pontiac, which means I have about 1.5 gallons left. I would have come home and tried, but I figured I should get gas when I can. My prediction is we will be back to regular in about a month. Based on some quick math about how much the pipeline pumped and the fact that phoenix needs something like 6 tankers a day to provide regular our regular supply. Remember, keep those trips short. I need gas to get to the Grand Canyon in a couple of weeks :)

::: posted by Scott at 12:39 PMWell, the gasoline madness continues today. One station has gas around here, and 20 cars lined down the street waiting to get in. I believe that I have enough gas to get me through the week, then I will have to sit in line like everyone else. Fun!
Plus, they are out of locking gas-caps (surprise) and syphons (super-surprise) at the Checker.
There are about 20 cars lined up here to get into the Am/Pm for gas. According to the attendant, it's been like this since 1pm. I took this picture about 9:30pm.
Update: 1:30am
I was up so I walked back down to the gas station. They ran out about an hour and a half ago. In less then 12 hours, they emptied a gas station. These people are like locusts.
Is it possible to take a picture of this man such that he doesn't look like an evil overlord?

It restoreth my buzz it leadeth me in the paths of consciousness for its name's sake. Yea, though I walk in the valley of the shadow of addiction, I shall fear no Equal(tm): for thou art with me; thy cream and thy sugar, they comfort me. Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of Juan Valdez; thou annointeth my day with pep; my cup runneth over. Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of Maxwell forever."

'I'll run down to the gas station and get a cold beverage', he thought.
'I'm tired, so I'll just drive down there', he thought.
'I'll have a gatorade', he thought at the gas station.
'...', the car said at the gas station.
Can someone explain to me why backpacking rain shells are so damned expensive? The ones I have read reviews on run from $200-$350. It's a rain slicker for crying out loud. I was going to buy one, but I think I'll just get one from Target or something.
I am getting a bit excited since there are only 3.5 weeks until my trip to the Grand Canyon. Should be fun, and my goal is to do at least one weekend trip a month. Kinda like the national guard. One weekend a month, and at least one week long trip a year. There are hikes I want to do in Yosemite, Yellowstone, Alaska, and a bunch around here.
