Well, I figured it out. Why there’s no recent news of “Elisabeth Smart”. That’s because her name is “Elizabeth Smart”. It was spelled with an “s” on TV, I believe, so that’s what I searched for. But looking with a “z” shows a lot more news stories, some recent.

I was relaxing this afternoon in front of the TV and a 30 minute program came on about Elisabeth Smart, the Utah girl who {“was kidnapped” “ran away”} back in 2002 and was found in March of this year. That made me think to myself, “I wonder if there’s been any news about her since… Continue reading Untitled

Yahoo! News – Majority in US believes Bush ‘stretched truth’ about Iraq: poll – Hmm, now according to this survey, “Only 32 percent [of Americans polled by the University of Maryland] said they thought the government was being ‘fully truthful’ about the Iraqi arsenal.” So maybe I’m not in the minority after all!

Yahoo! News – U.S. Confidence in Iraq War Drops – Poll: “37 percent said the Bush administration deliberately misled the American public about whether Iraq has serious weapons of mass destruction” – I guess I’m still in the minority on this one, though the minority has grown from 31% to 37% since early June.

I just got back from Denver. I figured I should take advantage of Beth being gone this weekend, and so I went to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. I got there around 9:10 and stayed until noon, taking in the new Space Odyssey exhibit, watching a show in the newly remodelled Gates Planetarium,… Continue reading Untitled

Earlier this month, as I was driving home from Bluff, Utah, my earthship fantasy finally came together for me. You see, I’ve been thinking for a few years how it would be nice to have a 2nd home in the southwest somewhere. It would be out in the middle of nowhere. I’d design and build… Continue reading Untitled

I just put an ad in Westword (printed and online) and on www.musicmates.com for a bass player for 404 Not Found. I put up ads at Guitar Center and Musician’s Superstore and to a couple newsgroups a couple weeks ago, but nothing promising yet. Hopefully we’ll get some interest from the Westword ad, but the… Continue reading Untitled

I just don’t get it. After several weeks of getting lousy internet performance from my ISP, I got home today and suddenly it’s near perfect. You see, I’ve been paying for 1 megabit of bandwidth for the past 2 years, but sometime this summer it suddenly dropped way down and I started getting huge packet… Continue reading Untitled

Three years after I posted my advice to avoid Advance Design of Kentucky, I still continue to get email from people who read the warning on my website and appreciate the advice. Unfortunately, this guy read it too late: Saw your comments on ADK today. Wish I’d seen them before I plonked down $2500 for… Continue reading Untitled
