Seems that everything is coming up roses – well, not everything, but even those things that are lagging behind are moving in the right direction. First off the cycling. I now have less than 900 miles to log on my bike before I reach 20,000 lifetime miles. That’s kind of cool. Another thing (and one [...]

April 18th, 2009 Chris Doelle The rain poured while I was in Houston, but when you have to pickup something from Lowes for a sink repair, it doesn’t matter what Mother Nature throws at you.

Happy “Remember this day when you vote” Day
April 15th, 2009 Chris Doelle That’s right – it is tax day. It’s the time of year when we pay “our share” of what it takes to run our government. This is where those highways and all those other great government services come from. Oh wait, we don’t really get much in the way of helpful government. This is where [...]

April 14th, 2009 Chris Doelle Don’t get me wrong. I do love me some old Tarantino – not trash like Death Proof, but good stuff like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction.

April 14th, 2009 Chris Doelle The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has come out with a amazing new report.

Yes, the IIHS took the current [...]

April 12th, 2009 Chris Doelle I am a big fan of the television show Friday Night Lights – not just because it is set in a world that is one of my absolute favorite things, but because it is really a damn good show. The acting is excellent and the scripts are amazing. In the episode I just watched was [...]

April 12th, 2009 Chris Doelle In town for the Easter weekend, I swung by to visit Tim’s and Brian’s family (and had a great meal.) Tim was talking about his new vinyl cutting machine (Cricut) and offered to make something for my car. Rather than advertise one of my many businesses, and have to deal with property tax issues, I [...]
