Quote of the day....

"The politicians I've worked with love America," says Columbia University student and former Congressional intern Tim Foley. "They all want the best. They just have different ideas on how to get there, so let's focus on those things, not the politicians. I'm asking people, "What do you want from our next President?" Inevitably, people tell me who they're voting for, but I'm not really interested in that. What matters to me is, what problems do they face that they think the goverment can solve?"

Priorities...

-Number of gallons of water guzzled by the 10,000 riders at the Hotter'n'Hell Hundred, in Wichita Falls, Texas, last August

Clueless...

After this week...I am laid off. We have no work right now. So, I am out of work. I guess he said I would be off at least 2 months until he gets a job...maybe longer. The work all over the county, actually all over the nation is very slow. So, this economic crisis really sucks. Stupid Bush. So, I don't really know what to do, look for another job, or wait until my boss calls, or work at another job until then. I am not sure about anything, so I am clueless. Any suggestions?

You are all invited to watch me race in any of these races next year.

Mt. Nebo Loop bike ride canceled....

The road cycling grueling climb on the south side of Nebo Loop held Oct. 4 with a bunch of guys such as Brach Schleuter, Steve Brown, Allen Nell, Brian Whipple, and Durke Gordon is canceled due to a snowstorm. I started on the laundry room project today instead to relax me. I don't know but we might ride it next week, who knows?

The "I'm famous" internet game...

1-type in your first and last name in google bar
2-pick out the most famous person you want to be by using your full name
3-attach pictures of the person and explain who he or she is

I am the filmographer of "Horton Hears a Who?", "Ice Age", and "Ice Age 2" movies. I have worked with Jim Carrey. I couldn't find a picture of him so this is all I got from his bibliography from the internet. Filmography is a collection of writings about the movie.

Upcoming fall ride...

Brach Schleuter invited me to go climb the south side of Nebo Loop with he and Steve Brown sometime before it snows. I told him I would and I am looking forward to it. He told me he would call me when they want to go so I am guessing during General Conference weekend. Hopefully soon because it's going to be cold soon, especially in the mountains. I've never done Mt. Nebo Loop but I always planned to do it. Somebody told me it is easier than the Widowmaker(Fairview Canyon) but it is still hard. So I am still training because of it. Tomorrow, the Whispering Pines 5 mile climb near Mt. Pleasant should get me ready for it.
