Residents beat man accused of showing porn

Saturday, September 23rd, 2006

Often the threat of “the law” is far to distant to be of much effect especially to those who have never crossed paths with it in any way beyond speeding. This makes them bold and perverts seem to be coming out of the closet as well. So what should residents do when their children are [...]

Shadow Update

Friday, September 22nd, 2006

No, not a conspiracy post but a bike post. On Tuesday I made an appropriate deposit on the ’86 Shadow VT1100. Checking in with the dealer today and the bike is still inline to be serviced and I will get a call from the sales guy tomorrow with a status update from the service manager. [...]

The Indiana Department of Naturual Resources director Kyle Hupfer has announce a 1 year reprieve on the policy which bans Hoosiers from carrying their concealed handguns in state parks. “We’re a society of rights,” he said, “and it’s a basic constitutional right of citizens to bear arms, and any restrictions on that need to be [...]

Miss. mayor pleads not guilty to charges

Thursday, September 21st, 2006

If we had more mayors like Frank Melton in US cities crime would be much less an issue as would a lot of other societal problems. But no, seems he’s made someone mad so they’re prosecuting him.

Software Recommendations

Wednesday, September 20th, 2006

Jeff has made a few software recommendations and while they include the fun google stuff like the caledar and spreadsheets (which I use and love, btw) he mentioned a piece called WorkRave that I’d not heard of. Now I’ve seen this type of application crudely built for time billing (think lawyers) but never from the [...]

While researching the various itcy plants over the weekend I found a great achademic article on Poison Oak that more than scratches the surface.

Spinach

Monday, September 18th, 2006

I went home last Thursday and told the missus to not eat her just picked up spinach chicken salad from Subway. At the time she was not very happy with me but I’d heard about the e.coli problem on the radio driving home and figured better safe than sorry until they shake out the problem. [...]

1986 Honda Shadow VT1100

Saturday, September 16th, 2006

As I have occasionally mentioned, I’ve spent a few hours this past year looking casually at bikes and dragging myself back from the brink of actually spending money. As the summer winds down my thoughts have returned to bikes so yesterday I trotted to a local dealership I frequented “back in the day”. I vividly [...]

BMW R1100R

Friday, September 15th, 2006

Part of my day off today was spent at a local bike shop. Not much there in the way of cruisers suitable for the missus and me but an ugly duckling in the corner absolutely caught my eye, a BMW R1100R. It was in excellent condition, doubly so since the odometer showed 61k miles though [...]
