And finally . . .

This was one of those nice sorta different weekends for me. After a really busy week at work (that’s nothing new) I found myself enjoying my Saturday breakfast with friends. The morning was clear with developing ice fog for a few hours as the sun came over the mountains.


I decided I was only going to run and do a couple of chores this morning while it was early then kick back and relax. I have been working this week getting my new computer set up, changing and installing programs from one to the other. For the most part things have gone smoothly but one of my games is giving me fits installing the files, patches, and other updates. I have tried installing, un-installing, and re-installing the game about eight times now but it still is not working correctly. I found an article today that may have the answers so I will try again once my head is in the right frame of mind.


I did install Homeworld and played it for a few hours to see how good this video card is . . . there was no lag in playing or seeing the shading differences between things. The colors were vibrant and the explosions were quite spectacular as a spaceship was defeated. Pretty cool all in all and the difference between my old box and this one is amazing. Fast, the wide screen is way cool while everything is clear, bright, and exciting again.


Thanks kids for the gift, I’m starting to enjoy it.


The clear cold days lately makes one wonder where they were this past summer when all we saw was cloudy cool ones. Seeing Denali two hundred miles away is still breathtaking in the morning sun. The inlet causes ice fog sometimes in the early morning around different parts of town. Today it was on the west side and all the trees were covered in the ice crystals like a scene from Dr. Zhivago.


Two days . . . that’s what they both have told us until ‘change’ is coming.


It will be a fascinating time until Wednesday morning when we see our process of Freedom at work. Remember those who have bled or died to give you that right . . .


All Gave Some . . . Some Gave All.


And finally . . . we’ll end with a little funny . . .

A three-year-old little boy was examining his testicles while taking a bath.

"Mama," he asked, "are these my brains?"

"Not yet." replied Mama.

Have a great week!

Morrison Springs - Ponce de Leon, Florida

Image
Morrison Springs Ponce de Leon, Florida County road 181 Morrison Springs was one of our favorite dive spots on many of our Florida trips but it also had the most danger to it.  One of Northwest Florida’s best-kept secrets was known to more Georgia and Alabama folks than Floridians.  And they weren’t talking.  It had to do with the jewel of a Panhandle spring, a turquoise pool surrounded by stately cypress trees whose aerial roots stand taller than a man. Below the surface, clear, 68-degree water wells up from a spring cave source over 90 feet deep. Morrison Springs is just far enough off the beaten path in this sunny pine and cypress country to be special for any diver lucky enough to find and dive the site. The shallow pool reflects the overhead blue sky and if the water is clear and the bottom clean of silt, it resembles a giant sapphire.  Unlike some springs with a deep, black hole source, this one takes visitors gradually into its shallows from a golden-sand beach.

Are Showing Your Nipples Appropriate Work Attire?

Let me first say that personally, I have no problem with it at all. This has been kind of a weird week here in the north land with the first of many winter snowfalls’s to come and the landscape once again beautifully covered in the white stuff. It looks like the kids will have to put their Halloween costume on over a snowsuit again this year as the cold snowy stuff is here again. That is not what I wanted to write about tonight but was necessary to set up what I did want to write about. “Frosty nipples” are quite common here during most of the year and when things cool down on the cusp of winter probably more so. Work attire with tight shirts or low cut blouses that ‘make a statement’ during colder weather could be taken several ways by co-workers or visitors to your place of business. While you may not always be taken seriously by others in the office and some may have trouble looking you in the face, I say it's a freedom of rights issue. If you want to show o

Biscuits and Whores

Some of the best things about life I learned from Lonesome Dove. Great movie, excellent characters, and tells a story about how to live life. Augustus McCrae “It ain’t dying I’m talking about, it’s living.   I doubt it matters where you die, but it matters where you live.” I'm just tryin' to keep everything in balance, Woodrow. You do more work than you got to, so it's my obligation to do less. “Yesterday’s gone and we can’t get it back.” “I'm sure partial to the evening,' Augustus said. 'The evening and the morning.   If we just didn't have to have the rest of the dern day I'd be a lot happier.” Hat Creek Cattle Company Well we don't rent pigs and I figure it's better to say it right out front because a man that does like to rent pigs is . . . he's hard to stop. Biscuits “I never knew you to get excited about anything except biscuits maybe . . . and whores!”    Captain Woodrow Call to Augustus McCrae in Lonesome Dove. Whores L
