I recently got a message through MySpace from an old friend. It was nice. Amy and I were pretty close when we were younger, 6th-9th grade maybe? It just brought me back to a time in life when things weren't so complicated... Not that things are real complicated right now I suppose, but looking back 15 years ago... haha... its ridiculous the things that were important. ...

Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible. - Lord Kelvin, 1892 NASA is about to launch a probe that will capture data and imagery from Pluto. The "New Horizons" Spacecraft will travel more than 10 times faster than a bullet, at 47,000mph once it reaches it's top speed and will take 10 years to reach Pluto.

Somebody has to say something. Somebody has to stop it from happening again. We have one week until our Big Ten home opener, and we have to rise up and take control of our image. If we don't, who will? UW Band member, Erin Taylor, a flugelhorn player, has been singing The Star Spangled Banner a lot this year. Before I go on, let me ...

Over the Badger's first 3 games, they're averaging 86.3 points per game, good enough to make them FOURTH on the ppg list for the entire country.... if they included Wisconsin on the list at all: HERE (Addition: 11/26/05 - WI has been added to the list, now that there's plenty of teams they can put ahead of them. Bucky's around #20 or so...) Evidently, the media thinks so low ...

Alright... went to the local sub shop for lunch. Used to go all the time until I moved closer to work. The owner's a great guy, Badger basketball fan, so I didn't mind dropping $20-$30 a week. So I go in today and they have a new (well, new to me) worker. The guy in front of me orders his sandwich, and she starts to cut ...

Ok. I'm at a stop light - one that I'm at quite frequently. There are two lanes to turn left. I'm in the right-most of those two lanes. A minivan pulls up along side me in the left-most lane.
