Pahaska

I took these pictures up near Pahaska Teepee about a week or so ago. The lodge was built by Buffalo Bill Cody in 1904, it's about 2 miles from the East Entrance of Yellowstone.

Strange Sounds

I recently discovered that after all of this time, I have a love hate relationship with country music. Usually that means that I love to hate it. Take for instance, when ever I am forced to listen to it, like when I get put on hold and the bastards on the other end make me listen to Garth Brooks, or when I walk into the gym and they are listening to country and I have to hear Randy Travis whining about something. If I am forced to listen to it, I don’t like it. If it’s on the radio, I don’t like it However… I do like some country, and I even have some of it in my iPod. There is some that is just classic, Johnny Cash, The Highwaymen, Glen Campbell, Jerry Reid, C.W. McCall… Yeah, stuff that I remember from my childhood… I also have discovered lately that I also really like that stuff that I used to hear Mom and Dad listening to on the good ol’ AM radio when I was little too… A couple of songs of particular interest are “It Never Rains in Southern California” by Albert Lamond and another song called “Moon Light Feels Right” by a band called Starbuck… Both have that bouncy 70’s kinda sound, but I don’t care, they sound good to me…

Twitterpated

1)to be completely enamored with someone/something. 2) the flighty exciting feling you get when you think about/see the object of your affection. 3) romantically (ahem)excited (i.e.: aroused) 4) the ever increasing acceleration of heartbeat and body temperature as a result of being engulfed amidst the exhilaration and joy of being/having a romantic entity in someone's life.

Woo Hoo!

I just found this little quiz on someone else's blog...

I'm a Porsche 911!

You have a classic style, but you're up-to-date with the latest technology. You're ambitious, competitive, and you love to win. Performance, precision, and prestige - you're one of the elite,and you know it.

Take the Which Sports Car Are You? quiz.

What happened?

How did January get away from me so damned fast? And why haven't I been blogging? Damned good question, which has a damned pathetic answer. I have been a slacker!

Let's see here... New Year's Resolutions... I'm not doing very well on either one of those...

I haven't met any new people but that's probably my own damned fault since every time that I go to work out, they are playing country music at the Rec center, so I plug into my iPod immediately so I don't go nuts. Then, that puts you into your own little world and of course, every one knows how unapproachable people are who have head phones on, so not only am I in my own little world, but others are far less likely to interact with me as well...

Flying... No, I haven't gotten going on my Biennial Flight Review either. I haven't been near Spirit Mountain Aviation to get set up to go fly with their instructor in their old beast of a 172. But at the same time, the weather that we have been having here in the greater Cody area hasn't been conducive to flying aircraft that only have a demonstrated crosswind component of 15 knots either...

So, we are only one month into 2006, eleven months to go, during which, I know that I will make good on both of these resolutions...

I find myself increasingly amused by those new Geico commercials with that gecko that speaks with an English accent. Free pie and chips anyone?
