Barack Obama announced Sen. Joe Biden as his running mate today at the Old State Capitol here in Springfield. A historic event that I did not attend. I don’t like crowds very much, and I had a better view on TV.

I love being outside. I love camping, and when at home, I like hanging out in my backyard. I am not a fan of the screaming neighbors that obviously know all of the four letter words that I know and some that I don’t (but I do now), but nevertheless, it can be peaceful out [...]

I remember when I was a little kid riding in the passenger seat of my mothers Corvair. Gas then was like 30 cents a gallon. As teens, my friends and I would come up with a dollar or two to contribute to my friend’s gas tank and cruise around all night long. When I was [...]
