His plane touched down in Boise at approximately 11:30 local time. The mountains rose up in the distance, serving as a backdrop for a rather archaic looking structure that posed as the terminal for the airport ( Read more... )

The radio can be SO very discouraging these days. I suspect that this has always been the case, actually, so perhaps I shouldn't even say "these days." The same stuff just gets played over and over and over and over and over and over and over... and... you get the point. Mostly it's not even good stuff... mostly.

An Entertaining Story

The song Taking My Life Away by Default makes me a little bit sad. Don't get me wrong, I love the song. It's just that it calls to mind a memory that elicits a strong emotion in me... one that I don't need to be dwelling on, because it's not healthy ( Read more... )

There's a commercial on TBS for the Braves that gets heavy rotation these days. It is something to the effect of:

Seventy percent of the Earth is covered by water... *long pause*... the other 30% is covered by... *pause*... Andruw Jones.It is, of course, a reference to his amazing ability to cover the area from LCF to RCF and get to seemingly ( Read more... )
