Trashed House

Sunday, September 7th, 2008

While out taking vineyard photos today, I came across an old house that had been nearly torn apart by harsh weather and vandals. Funny thing is that the house is so far out in the country. It's hard to imagine vandalism happening out there. Bummer. Cool photo, ...

Festival of Balloons & Carnival Rides

Saturday, June 14th, 2008

Codi and I went to the Allstate Festival of Balloons with four friends and their G-Force loving kids. Although there were no balloons at the festival while we were there, we had a great time going on some of the carnival rides. We took some good photos, but ...

Restaurant Warning Signs

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

I had a hankering for BBQ the other day, so I stopped by a rather popular BBQ restaurant. It was highly recommended. As soon as I arrived, I noticed some things that I should have paid better attention to. 1. Hand written sign on door: "Jiggle door ...

Monday, March 17th, 2008

Hell Freezing Over

Friday, January 18th, 2008

Surely a sign that hell has begun freezing over, I voluntarily drank (and didn't dislike) an entire glass of vanilla soy milk. Not even a week ago, I would have preferred to eat a pound of sala (Russian salt-cured pork fat) rather than take even the slightest sip of ...

Gaseous Slogan

"I love natural gas"? Too many fart jokes to even begin listing...

Aguamobile

Monday, December 3rd, 2007

It's been a little rainy here in Oregon. Well, it's been pouring. A lot. On the way home this evening, Codi and I noticed a car half way under water after a flash flood from an over-full river nearby. Woops.

Clean-Up on Aisle 5

Friday, September 7th, 2007

Today was a little more exciting that I had planned. On my way back from the wine country, I happened upon a fresh accident. It seems that a pickup truck and a station wagon had gotten a little too close and, like the "pit maneuver" on the TV ...

Time Flies When Your Slaving Away

Tuesday, August 14th, 2007

I've been working so hard and so many hours over the past few months that I feel like I've been in a Soviet labor camp. My free time for posting photos and fun stories has been reduced to zero, and I've hardly had time to even think of fun posts. ...
