Hey, I found the website. Looks like I should start updating it.
Again…
For the fifth sixth time.
Stop Whining?

In response to the article found at: http://www.modbee.com/opinion/letters/story/422060.html
Oh my … I scarcely know where to begin.
*deep breath*
How about we start with the premise that these “same-sex friends”, as termed in the article, simply take the initiative to draw up proper documentation to get deal with the legality of medical issues and burials? It seems somebody has forgotten that pesky Supreme Court ruling that separate is *not* equal! Perhaps I am being too simplistic here, as I am looking solely at the legal aspects of the argument.
Upon further reading, the author must also be a very distinctive authority on the human brain (which every other distinguished psychologist, psychiatrist, and neurologist can only fathom an
educated guess at with current available knowledge) as he/she demands that gay couples “stop whining” about rights that they obviously intentionally give away when they make the conscious
choice to “opt for same-sex coupling” … like it’s what … leather bucket seats? I’ll grant him one term of agreement: life isn’t fair. I mean, those of us functioning with any more than a brain stem are assaulted by his/her brand of insanity almost daily.
But this *is* the United States of America! This glorious country was born on the ideals of
equality. Our own revolution was a fight for equality, and since we have fought for the equality of all those that fill our great nation. The author’s claim that *anyone* should remain complacent in their inequality in *this* nation is, at best, ignorant, and at worst, completely un-American. Lucky for him,
he/she can, ironically, still whine to his/her heart’s content, all in the name of freedom … I will happily indulge in my freedom to simply shake my head and laugh.

Rock On, Tom Petty

“This is an emergency crisis we’re in. The entertainment media is affecting everything on the planet in a very negative way. I’m only interested in rock ‘n’ roll. Rock ‘n’ roll is a music that represents truth. Your TV channel has taken the word “rock” and knocked the “roll” off the end. You made rock this umbrella term for everything. That’s wrong. Shakira isn’t rock. These country artists with fur coats aren’t rock - or country. I offered a video to VH1 of my band playing in the studio and they don’t want to air it because it had musicians playing in it. They want some babe walking on the beach or whatever. I got turned onto this music by watching the Beatles and the Rolling Stones actually on TV playing their guitars. It completely took me over. When you can’t see musicians playing any more, I’m not interested any more.”

Over the Limit!

I miss two things: tech work and running. One is trickier to get, but the other isn’t.
Why? I want to run another marathon. My heart yearns for the long miles again, the hellish runs at Knight’s Ferry, the build-up to the race, the pain, blisters and sore muscles that let me know I was alive… Today, I realized something. Despite how little of it I’ve done lately, despite the low quality and quantity of it all…
I am a runner at heart. Time to dust off the water belt, mix up some drink, and just go for it. Fast or slow, long mileage or short, the road’s calling me again.
Anyone up for a relay in December? CIM (the California International Marathon), up in Sacramento, is tons of fun. You only need four people for a team 
I might join one with my family, but I’m always up for going to running events with lots of people.

It’s probably happened to you on one occasion or another… your favorite electronic gizmo, be it a laptop, a radio, or any other device powered by an adapter, stops working. Wiggling the adapter plug works for a little while, but ultimately you know time is limited for your device. This happened to me yesterday.
