Well, I finally have a salvage title for the 2013 Nissan LEAF (Actually I dont have the title yet, but I think they mail it to me. We are far from settled with the insurance company for sure. It has been six months since Angie was rear ended. The following chart shows a very sad and disturbing trend. Insurance companies aren't paying out. It should be criminal. I went shopping for a new rear axle so I can get the car driving again. The rear ended axle was so bent, the car couldn't move. The new one with no connecting bits was over a thousand dollars.

The story of inhabitant in Kunugiyama Here is a photo journal of my new commute. Every other day I catch a ride from a neighbor. He lives 2 miles away through the woods.

It is different and good.

The Hawaii Five-O Home Page More information about Hawaii Five Oh than you ever thought could be concentrated. I love this stuff.

Victrola Music on Cassette and CD Early 1900's Recordings I was thinking that I should list something like the best ten musical pieces in my life so far. Of course, this list changes, but I thought it would be neat to list the way I see it today. So here it is: The following are not in order. I have listed the artist(s) or the the composer, sorry if I have not given appropraite credit. Tough. Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto in D Major Satn Getz: The Girl From Ipanema Patsy Cline: That Wonderful Someone Thin Lizzy: The Cowboy Song Frank Sinatra: My Way Pink Floyd: Pigs on the Wing Elvis Presely: In the Ghetto Solte: The Planets Morten Stevens: Theme to Hawaii Five-OH Art Farmer: Killer Joe Something must be wrong. I don't really have any devil music there?

Berkshire Eagle Online - Top Stories Memorial day weekend 2004 is now nothing but a memory. I am going back to my original Toastmaster club this evening. That should be fun. I got some of my trails mowed yesterday. I decided to stop when I almost got stuck in a mud pit. I will wait until it stops raining.
