Daring Ravine Driving – our first day in Colorado

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

It was our first day in Colorado. We arrived in Colorado Springs to play in the Glen Eyrie Castle. The only trouble was getting our trailer and equipment TO the castle.

Turns out, they don’t make castles for easy trailer-access.

The helpful castle residents informed us we would need to take our trailer out a trail they called the “Fire Road”. It would lead us up a steep mountain overtop the castle, and finally to the castle’s back door.  And half-way through, we would need to reverse the car and trailer, and take the whole contraption backwards to the entrance.

Video can’t really capture the fact that a huge ravine lies directly to your side. But here is our attempt:

A trick this gas station used

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

When I was driving through the country-side, looking for the opportunity to refuel, I came upon a gas station selling fuel for $3.19. Or so I thought. Since gas prices had just been over $4.00, this was an amazingly low price. But as I got closer, I could see that gas was actually being sold for $3.39. Clever sign.

Clever and evil.

gas for $3.19, or is it?

Gas is $3.19. Or is it?

gas is REALLY $3.39!

Gas is $3.39!

New medical study finds "Rock & Roll Linked to Saving the World", but further testing needed

Wednesday, December 20th, 2006

In a surprise announcement on Saturday, scientists at the University of Doowap Regional Scientific Research Center revealed that a new study had been conducted testing the link between “rock & roll” and “saving the world” in lab mice. Tests were conclusive: 100% of lab mice both liked “rock & roll” and were interested in “saving the world”.

The scientists were quick to point out that they had not examined the effect the Kryptonite they put in the mice’s food had on this study. Nor have they conclusively proved that this connection exists in humans. After all, most humans don’t have the advantage of a third ear on their backs for listening to rock music, like these mice had.

The next step, these scientists point out, is to compare 15-year-old kids who listen to blaring rock music in their rooms all day, with a 30-year-old guy strapped in a room, forced to listen to Michael Bolton for 30 hours straight.

“Whichever one is more interested in saving the world at the end of this process is clearly the winner here,” the lead scientist orated.

The lab mice could not be reached for comment. They apparently couldn’t hear the phone ringing over their loud rock music.
