Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
So last weekend I dropped the kid off with his mother.
Today I zip on over there and pick him up.
Up until Reno/Sparks, things are a little on the scary side and there’s too much going on. Especially on Black Friday. After that, the problem is the opposite. The struggle is to stay awake. Coffee, soda, audio books, hamburgers and piss breaks.
Like I’ve said before. If Nevada was provided by the Good Lord with something, and the nothing had to be manufactured or grown or trucked in…it would be a technological achievement nothing short of breathtaking.

Most of the geology is right out where you can see it, without much soil, trees, or grass in the way. You can kinda figure out that those long, not-very-steep slopes coming off most of the mountains were formed underwater. If you live in Nevada and don’t have a mountain view, it’s because you’re in Vegas or Reno and there’s a taller building between your place and the mountains.
Driving I80 in this time of year you’re not so likely to see things like the guy I passed one summer near Battle Mountain, riding a chopper, leaning back against the chopper bar, arms folded, feet up on the handlebars. Keeping your wits about you there is different than it is once you get back into California. It’s also enough different from western Washington that we get to missing it if we don’t go back every year or so.
