So Time Warner tells me there is something wrong with my cable and it will need to be rewired from the pole on in, but they can't do it till next week. This is after I have waited for almost a week for them to come out, the tech is there for maybe ten minutes and then poof! He is gone with the vague explanation above... god I hope Minneapolis goes through with their plan of city wide wi-fi, then I can tell the cable co's to kiss my *^%. I have thought about going over to the dark side and trying the Dish Network, Qwest high speed combo but... Telephone line highspeed (It's 5:45 am and I have been up all night at work so I can't think of the name) is faster then dial-up but still so slow compared to a cable modem. I have a ton of pic's and other tid bits but I can't share them from work so... everything here is good, till later c-ya

So the move is done, but time warner cable will be out sometime between now and forever to turn on the cable, till then no internet.

Some fall pic's from Wirth Park, tomorrow is the big move so the computer will be down for a few days. Some of the older pic's are run through Hello and will not load when the computer is down. C-ya

Have not been able to post anything this week, between long hours at work, being sick and moving! Next week I'll post some pic's of the move and the new place and maybe some other stuff, till then c-ya.

The Love Boot: "Fifty-three men bounced, laughed, shrieked and stomped in unison Sunday afternoon."

Today was my birthday and what a present I received!

If you feel the same way I do about The Bush you have to read this!

Idiot of the week is....

WCCO-TV - Minnesota's Breaking News, Weather, Traffic and Sports: Man Gets $900K After Cop Accidentally Shoots Him: "Investigators said during a struggle an officer thought he was pulling the trigger of his Taser against Atak's back -- but instead of a Taser, it was his .40-caliber Glock handgun. "

Since I missed a few weeks here is idiot of the week part two... this one is also a cop?

Oddly Enough News Article | Reuters.com: "Australian authorities have apologized to the family of an elderly man who was given a parking ticket while he lay dead in his car in a suburban shopping center."

"The circumstances surrounding the location of this poor fellow must make it all the harder for the family. It is simply a case of the parking officer not noticing."

But White House officials insist all is "business as usual."

Some analysts and Republicans say the string of setbacks that have beset the nomination is a testament to how unhinged the White House has become amid legal and political problems, including the criminal investigation into the possible roles of two key administration aides — Karl Rove and I. Lewis 'Scooter' Libby — in the unmasking of a covert CIA operative.

'You're seeing evidence of a profoundly disorganized and demoralized White House,' said Ross Baker, a political scientist at Rutgers University who has also spent time working on the Senate staff. 'If you are looking for evidence of a rudderless White House, the slipshod manner in which Harriet Miers' papers were prepared is really Exhibit A.'

Other Republicans are mostly withholding public judgment until she testifies at confirmation hearings that are scheduled to begin Nov. 7. But privately, some expressed surprise and unease at how poorly prepared the White House was for the skepticism Miers encountered. And they lamented that Bush had failed to find a nominee who would help unite and energize a party demoralized by troubles in Iraq, high gas prices and criticism of Bush's response to Hurricane Katrina.

The scariest thing about all this is that they DO think this is "business as usual".

Now Cartman is not just big boned he is also a viral inflicted obese young man who is not responsible for his own size! Read below...


Dominican Today: "'Not all obesity can be explained by infection,' said Dhurandhar, a researcher at the Pennington Biomedial Research Center of Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. Yet “infections can be one of the causes.'

The general public has presumed for ages that most obesity is caused simply by overeating, lack of or little exercise and no will power. But viruses are just one of many contributing factors that scientists have recently discovered."

And speaking of viruses, I'm sick as a dog... so feel sorry for me damn it!

"Rocky" Returns! - Oct 17, 2005 - E! Online News: "Cue 'Eye of the Tiger'--the Italian Stallion is coming out of retirement for more one shot.

Sylvester Stallone has signed on to reprise his role as the boxing champ for a sixth installment in the once mighty franchise."

They (they being Stallone) should see if Mike "Bite Me" Tyson and George "buy my cooking junk" Forman would be interested in guest appearances... I would love to see Rocky spar with Tyson!

While looking at pic's of Stallone for the next posting I ran across this! I have one question?

If walking down a dark alley in the middle of the night which one of two would scare you the most? ... For me it would be JACK!

So after the failure of the Bog we headed on over to the Wildflower garden, we had alot of fun just wandering about hunting for those fall flowers. All in all not a bad Sunday, the most important thing was, Carrie and I spent time together.

So after spending all of our freetime the last week packing things in boxes for the move we headed out to spend a day wandering Wirth Park. We have driven by the Quaking Bog a thousand times but had never stopped. We did, but won't again. What is it? Sinking walkways over a bog, imagine walking on a sponge with birds and a acidic smell and you have it.
