To my faithful reader(s): the following video is funny. You should watch it like I did, just a few minutes ago.

Lazy
So, I've been lazy and haven't been taking any pitchuuurs lately.
I should start that back up, but it's rainy today, so I'll start it up once the rain subsides.

Ok...so here's the story. Yesterday, around 3:00, a natural gas pipeline exploded in Parker County, TX (about 15-20 minutes from where I live). For those who don't know, natural gas pipelines are very much connected to what I do for a living. That's how the natural gas I get the rights to drill for is transported to market and sold.
This sort of thing only happens when people don't use common sense when dealing with combustible substances...such as natural gas. In this particular situation, some idiot was digging around with a backhoe looking for another gas pipeline. Well, he found one....three actually, and they all exploded and caused what you see in the attached picture.
I drove out to see the remnants of the explosion yesterday afternoon, but alas, I forgot my camera. But this is what my picture WOULD have looked like....had I remembered to bring my camera.
The significance is this: right across the street from my house, there is a *dum dum dummmmmm* natural gas pipeline. Let's all cross our fingers and hope that no one decides to do anything stupid around that one, such as dig around it with a backhoe.

I watched "An Inconvenient Truth" last night, and here is my conclusion:
It is almost inescapable that Al Gore made this movie with the intention of reestablishing his name with an attached political platform. The movie is just as much about Al Gore as it is about global warming.
I wasn't terribly convinced, as my background in research methods enabled me to pinpoint several loopholes in his theories. I won't get into it here, but I'm going to need more convincing on the cause of global warming before I get on board with Mr. Gore and just about all of Hollywood and "go green."

Well, obviously, I didn't take this picture, but today is the 13th anniversary of Biggie's death, so I had to commemorate it somehow, right?
RIP - Biggie Smalls.

Lost
I lost my camera for a few days, but I have recovered the coveted electronic piiitcher takur.
Project 365 will resume it's daily revisions starting today.
Enjoy!

HOOKAAYY! I'm back.. Here's the story. Saturday night, March 3, there was to be the first total lunar eclipse in about 4 years, so I was pumped. My project 365 entry was set, and I was going to witness a natural phenomenon to boot.
Well, long story short, the picture you see to your right was a "test shot" using the fireworks setting on my camera, and it was subsequently the "death shot" to my camera's battery. I didn't have a spare, and the eclipse was just around the corner. No time to fix the camera...I was just going to watch in awe as this feat of nature unfolded before my eyes.
I waited...
and waited...
and waited......
Well, I never saw it. I'm not sure what happened, but I never saw anything out of the ordinary. Maybe, just maybe, I blinked a little too longer than is acceptable during a lunar eclipse, and I was being punished. But what is more likely is that I missed it. Yea, I think that's it.
Either way, my camera's been dead since Saturday, so I haven't had any project 365-esque pictures to bless you with. Here, ladies and gentlemen, is my entry for March 3, 2007. I will have a second posting today including my entry for today, because, thankfully, my camera's battery was miraculously brought back to life using the battery charger that came with my camera.
In other news, life is good, and I'd like to go to Fiji.

The view from my computer screen today. Just imagine that I'm typing an important memo.
I snazzed up this morning, because all my clothes are either dirty or at the dry cleaners.

This is a little picture I drew (or...traced and partially drew) while I was at work today.
I call it "Pac Man's Revenge...Billy's Victory"
