Truck Update. V.2.0

The truck is back together, and probably better than it was before. Well, i guess the fan assembly and the air cleaner would beg to differ. But I am planning on getting an air cleaner soon, and the fan assembly works fine, it just isn't the same. Ok, so it's not better than it was. But it is shiny! Ooooooh!

Tank Troubles.

There was a small problem on the way to Arizona tonight.

Semester winding down...

Well, I have decided to abandon the cell phone. I don't really use it that much, and my contract is ending. It's been really handy, but I think I'd rather be saving the money I'm forking over to Verizon. I'm not sure when I am going to shut it off yet, but it probably be in the next few months.

apes, knaves, and rogues

While I was at the bookstore today, enjoying the heck out of some tea (of which i have an ever deepening appreciation for, thanks to the Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy) I saw some interesting books.

• Acorna’s Revenge Rebels by Anne McCaffrey

Seriously! After seeing the subtitle, i thought for sure that this book had been written by my friend Rocky:

• The further adventures of Unicorn Girl? Unicorn Girl Strikes Back?
• Unicorn Girl goes to Washington? Unicorn Girl and the Temple of Doom? Unicorn Girl rides a bike?
• The Neverending Unicorn Girl? Unicorn Ninja!
• American Unicorn 3!

She doesn’t even look like a unicorn girl in on the cover! I mean, where’s the horn, eh?
then, i chanced immediately upon another book, and thought for sure it was a Hegaman conspiracy...

• Shadow of the Hegemon by Orson Scott Card. 

Recreational Coffee

Yesterday, was the first recreational use of just your old straight coffee for me in quite some time. ages really.
And I’d like to note how the strongest of emotions goes with the impossiblest of situations.  Perhaps I will be able to reconcile the two together, but as always, it seems impossible.
I picked up the works of Jonathan Edwards, and will be enjoying those next summer. I also picked up the three set work of N.T. Wright.
Those should keep me busy when I find some time to read.
I’m probably going to go back to Idaho after I graduate. Although I am desirous to go to Salem.
Then sometime in the future I will go back to school. 

The Burnination is over!

The two week spree of victims charred by the spa of 112° has finally come to an end.
Onlookers noticed the swath cut by the 'spa of total devastation,' as a line of charred, burninated, scathed, and scalded spa-goers.
One brave spa goer attempted to withstand the ever-heated waters, but all accounts of that individual seem to indicate that he ended up in the sanitarium.

Pyromania

There was this awesome sunset last thursday. It was by far the best sunset I have seen in Kalifornia. It was great, the whole sky looked like it was on fire. Perhaps it was some sort of foreshadowing of the aweful fires that are now raging across upperclass hillside neighborhoods.

The fires here in California are approaching the valley where I live. They are about to crest the hill that surrounds our valley. It reminds me alot of the foothills fire in Boise back in 1992. It is pretty interesting, as this fire has burned around the valley almost a third of a circumference.
