Sooner or later we are going to have to snuggle up and get comfy with the idea that we are going to be subject to Google’s rule. I’m guessing it will be more like enlightened absolutism than fascist autocracy. Google seems bent on gathering hordes of data and puting it towards (thus far) useful purposes. … More Slavery might not be that bad
I don’t know if I have the words to express the feeling. It could be joy, maybe even elation. But certainly a weight has been lifted. What weight you ask? The weight of dishwashing. We haven’t had a dishwasher since our first house, which we sold more than four years ago. We never got around … More It’s the simple things
Here’s one of the best (allbeit) dramatic write-ups on the Missouri River 340 yet. Here’s to dreaming of next year! Up Show-me Creek
Yet more proof that only stuffed shirts and douchebags drive Hummers: a KC cyclist was chased down and then assaulted by a man driving a Hummer H2. I don’t know what kind of tool cuts off a person (regardless if it’s a car or bike) and then gets mad at the person they cut off … More Hummer = D-bag
I saw this on my ride home last night, and I’m not sure what to make of it. It’s a very large fan blowing over a green at a Mission Hills golf course. Now was the purpose of this to keep the golfers comfy as they make their birdie putts, or does it serve some … More Umm… what?

It looks like the emphasis is on stability and capacity. … More Tis the season for paddling
I hate to break it to you, but Kansas is not the best state for a road trip. While some parts are interesting, on average there isn’t much to see from the highway. On our trip out to Colorado, which involved crossing the entire Free State. To help make the trip more palletable, we decided … More Kansas, not for driving
Wow. The time has gone by far too fast. So far this year we have attended seven weddings, and we still have four more to go. Luckily Jen and I took a trip out to Colorado and drank copious amounts of beer. Well, enough of the fooling around, it’s time for some home repairs, bike … More Holy Jeeze and the MR340
More bikers. That’s right folks, rising gas prices are bringing more people into the light. RideFridays.org has been doing a great job of encouraging and informing for a while now. A recent post covers the increasing use of alternative means of commuting in the KC area.
So, the lady and I have a pontoon boat. We bought it last year. It was in someone’s yard along the highway. It was cheap, it floated, and the engine mostly worked. It had an issue with shifting in to gear. I think I know what the problem was, but it’s a moot point now. … More You get what you pay for
