Bad Habits

Tuesday, September 27th, 2005

Um, yeah.
As I’m on the verge of dropping a land line and going cell-only for my telephone service, it’s not a good idea for me to forget where I left the phone.

Dizzy

Sunday, September 25th, 2005

Went out looking for stuff on a couple occasions today. Funny how there’s no sign of one of my favorite magazines in town. “It seems to be a bit more popular in the Fayetteville store. I think we get 3 a month here.”
100 copies of Being Redneck and Having Fun, and 3 lousy copies of [...]

Oh a mighty winds a blowin�

Just not here.
There’s been some tornadic activity here and there in Arkansas, closest being about 25 miles from here. I had a bad feeling about this one and everything, already making a little shelter in a closet, ready with water and pillows and headphones to while away the time as I lay trapped under the [...]

About 30 minutes later, from the new Visitor Center construction site on the other side of the dam.

Good morning from Bull Shoals on the White River

Weary ramblings

Wednesday, September 21st, 2005

Whew. Just got back this evening from a 2 day spur-of-the-moment trip to Bull Shoals. I helped Dan a bit with another webcam installation, this one on top of an Army Corps of Engineers dam. Needless to say, this is the culmination of a year of wrangling and Homeland Security folks all the way up [...]

Screw off, MBNA

Monday, September 19th, 2005

At my mom’s urging, I looked into applying for lower interest credit cards to offset the near-usury levels of interest I’m being charged by 2 of my 3 cards with balances. My dear Iowa state Alumni MBNA card is the worst. I’ll decline telling of the rate for fear of embarrassment by how much I’m [...]

Tossing out the old

Sunday, September 18th, 2005

Still in the midst of thinning out my possessions. Emptied well over 2 full garbage bags worth of stuff that I’d thought I really needed a few years ago. Funny, huh?
I’ve thrown out so many CD’s and cases, it’s insane. But In the midst of all that, I found a couple gems. Well, dunno about [...]

Letting go of the past

Friday, September 16th, 2005

I’m re-filtering my boxes of junk yet again, as I prepare for a drastic loss of storage and living space.
After keeping it in ever-increasingly tattered form, I finally threw away my 12 year old acceptance letter to American. I guess I always kept it as a reminder of what could have been. That there was [...]

Movin’ On

Sunday, September 11th, 2005

Back this weekend after being gone from Tuesday to Friday working on mounting a wirelessly-transmitting webcam under a high bridge to show beautiful river views. Nothing like spending 5-6 hours total leaning over concrete railings on your knees. Yum.
But the result is spectacular, and the antenna has way more power than we had [...]
