2006 Things To Do - Float Five Rivers

I had some great days floating and fishing last year but mainly floated the Missouri. Next year I want to float the:

Blackfoot
Clark Fork
North Fork of the Flathead
A new river I haven't floated.

And I would love to float the Smith (see link).

Insane Car Ad

How crazy do you have to be to do these stunts in an Isuzu?

See where every plane flying over the U.S. is AT THIS VERY SECOND!

This is way cool.

Not as cool as living in a town where you go to the airport when you hear the flight come in, but pretty cool.

What I Heard About Iraq in 2005

I heard a journalist ask the President: ‘Do you think that the insurgency is getting harder now to defeat militarily?’ And I heard the President reply: ‘No, I don’t think so. I think they’re being defeated. And that’s why they continue to fight.’

Your Daddy KILLS Animals!

PETA, making friends for over 30 years.

"And it doesn’t do any good for your daddy to throw them back
in the water, either. Fish who are impaled and thrown back in
the water swim away with a horrible bloody wound, and with no
fish doctors around to take care of them, many slowly die! "

Ew! Ew! Ew!

They have RECORDS for this? Someone CLAIMED that record? Ew! Ew! Ew!

I need to go look at pictures of lovely women or something.

It's amazing just how stupid some people are.

The LightCap is not only an unbreakable one-liter water bottle, it’s also the coolest solar powered LED light you’ve ever used.

I Like Montana Politics

Schweitzer's jeans, dog get thumbs up

HELENA - Montana voters show lopsided support for one of Gov. Brian Schweitzer's more proletariat policies - wearing jeans to work and routinely bringing his border collie to the office, a Gazette State Poll shows.

Sixty-eight percent of registered Montana voters surveyed said they thought it was appropriate for Schweitzer to wear blue jeans to work and bring his dog Jag to the governor's office. Only 22 percent considered the behavior inappropriate, while 10 percent said they were unsure.

Schweitzer typically wears jeans, a dress shirt, cowboy boots with a low heel, and a bolo tie.

Shortly after his successful 2004 election, but before he was sworn in as governor, Schweitzer showed up with Jag, then just a puppy. The gubernatorial herd dog is now a mainstay at the Capitol, often seen trotting behind the governor or plopped near Schweitzer's feet during meetings.

Science for the very poor school

Most boring webcam ever

People doing not much in place where even less happens.

Let this be a warning to all of you

While none of the stars are believed to have a medical degree, the colorful graphics and informative documentaries in the exhibits certainly seemed convincing enough for them to confidently label psychiatry a "fraud" and an "industry of death."

Watch the video and decide for yourself.

Law school.

We have a new Chinese restaurant in town

Christmas With The Family

I am blessed in that I have several families. Last night was spent with one of my families - going out to supper, opening presents and just hanging out. Watching the kids and adults open my and each other's presents was a true joy. And Travis showed the true Christmas spirit by first enjoying and then sharing my gift to him:





This is Travis about 12 years ago with my dog, Bob.

Another Sign Of The Apocalypse

Using a network of cameras that can automatically read every passing number plate, the plan is to build a huge database of vehicle movements so that the police and security services can analyse any journey a driver has made over several years.

Beyond Flexible

This woman is amazing, at the level of a new species type of amazing.

What I Want For Christmas - NOT!

True story - When my godson Seth was eight years old we saw someone wearing one of these hats. I got Seth to go up to the guy and say:

(crying) "Mister, why did you kill your dog?"

He was the most fun kid ever.
