European Plates



Why does the global community allow this?
The Automobile license plates that they use in Europe are Huge!
That's 23% larger than good old American plates. That's 23% larger PER vehicle.
I mean it's their business if they want to use those huge plates, but what about the children?
We should boycott, unless that is, if the European Union been buying License plate Offsets.

Survivorman


Gotta love this show.
It is a very original show.
He has competition now.
Man Vs Wild.
I think that Les Stroud's version is way more authentic, and much easier to watch.
The Boys are also hooked.

Disneyland Rocks!





My kids can't figure out why I keep having them pose in front of the wooden Indian.



























Monorail Red is painted over Yellow to advertise the Finding Nemo themed Submarine ride.
So we took that rather than wait the 2 hours for the Submarine ride.
Tomorrowland looks so much nicer
with the waterfalls flowing.

GoogleVision at Night


Google Earth has a new Feature that lets you Explore the planets and Space.
I don't believe in astrology, but it is cool to be able to rotate the night sky and see the signs of the Zodiac in order.

It's hard to tell if this is real, or just some guy hanging from a wire connected to a helicopter.

Austin and I went up to Visit Mom this weekend.
The highlight was the Sutter Gold Mine tour.
We also went to Coloma. The place where Marshall discovered gold is kinda swampy now.

Beer contains Female Hormones

This is serious stuff, researchers have found that "Beer Contains Female Hormones!"

Last month, National University of Lesotho scientists released the results of a recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer. Men should take a concerned look at their beer consumption. The theory is that beer contains female hormones (hops contain phytoestrogens) and that by drinking enough beer, men turn into women.

To test the theory, 100 men drank 8 pints of beer each within a 1 hour period. It was then observed that 100% of the test subjects: . . . .









1. Argued over nothing.
2. Refused to apologize when obviously wrong.
3. Gained weight.
4. Talked excessively without making sense.
5. Became overly emotional.
6. Couldn't drive.
7. Failed to think rationally
8. Had to sit down while urinating.

No further testing was considered necessary

Berkeley Pit

DI has a new take on this.


I Was Browsing information on the Berkeley Pit in Butte Montana.
I came across this Article that showed me just how the Daily show gets the people to look so stupid on film.

Sesso's story provides a pretty good illustration of how the Daily Show goes about creating its segments. The effusive Sesso tells Gelf he was interviewed for roughly two hours. "They asked me everything under the sun," he says. "I was pretty well prepared, though, and apparently was pretty boring to them. So they closed by asking me to tell a joke."

Sesso was unable to come with anything clean, he says, hence the pregnant pause that dominates much of the segment.


I visited the pit about 10 years ago and I thought that it was interesting.

Another long winded, but interesting read Here.

Happy 4th!

Seattle/Vancouver


















Took a trip with my Mom & sisters to Seattle & Vancouver B.C.
What a great three days.
That was my first time in the Space Needle.


They were landing float planes on
Lake Union.
The second thing we did was visit the Locks.
The Round things on the water pipes are big coils. They use them to count tags on the fish that pass into the sound from the hatchery upstream.

We drove up to Vancouver B.C. where there is a lot of construction going on. They are getting ready for the 2010 Winter Olympics.
We took a Ferry over to Victoria.

Butchart gardens
was Beautiful.
My sisters had Tea and sandwiches, but I had a Bison burger which wasn't too bad.
The second day we went to Capilano.
That was real cool.
