You Are 79% American

You're as American as red meat and shooting ranges. Tough and independent, you think big. You love everything about the US, wrong or right. And anyone who criticizes your home better not do it in front of you!

Man-Made Global Warming: 10 Questions

I'll bet Pat Sajak gets black-balled at a lot at Hollywood events for the questions that he comes up with on Global Warming.
Heresy I say :-)
Read his Blog Entry here
The subject of man-made global warming is almost impossible to discuss without a descent into virulent name-calling...
I really like the first one.
1. What is the perfect temperature?

I always liked Pat Sajak.
You know he was our local weatherman when I was a teenager.
He has some more good Blog Entries Here.

The End of the Light Bulb.

Australia is banning the incandescent bulb.
California will probably do so too.
I put CFL's in our downstairs bathroom, and they seem to work OK. I'm not thrilled with them though.
I would put CFL's in the kitchen, but I want dimmable bulb, and the BR30's that I've found are just too expensive.
I hope that they can beef up production on LED's and bring the price down. I have a feeling that LED's will be the future, and replace CFL's in the long run.

Hitch Hiking Across America

Cody Smart tells a pretty good story about hitchhiking across America.
The photos are awesome.
More Here.

When I was 12, I used to hitch-hike rides up Bluebird canyon with my friend Jay in Laguna Beach.
I got the impression that hitch-hiking was pretty safe.
Then when I was 17 I picked up a hitchhiker on a freeway on ramp. near my house. Two of his buddies jumped in, and when I told them to get out, one of them pulled a switch blade and they stole my car. I had a Family friend, Uncle Bill, well after that, he used to joke that I wouldn't pick up another hitchhiker if it was a 18 year old female in the nude. So far he has been correct.
