Perfect..

Congratulations Patriots. One of the most entertaining games I have ever seen, and its always fun to be a witness to history.

A two post day?

Yep, I'm making another post today! I need to spend more time with my blog or nobody will ever read it.
Anyway, I came back because I wanted to mention something that happened yesterday. I was at Safeway in Wood Village, and I came around the corner to the beer isle, and these two kids are standing there. The interesting thing was that one had his backpack wide open on his chest , and was stuffing energy drinks in it. They both immediately looked at me and took off at a very fast pace. So I was like "hey you little punks, I saw that!" (but in my head) ;) and I took off after them. Fortunatly, as I began my persuit, an employee who witnessed the incident from behind the deli counter also went after them so I told her what I saw and went back to shopping.

So, I have had many thoughts about this. First of all, I am dumbfounded as to why they were stealing energy drinks, especially when they were right next to the beer and alcoholic energy drinks. Second, why were they so careless. It was so obvious that I thought they were just playing at first. They made no effort whatsoever to be discreet about it, and everybody (which was only me an that one employee) within eyesight became immediately aware as to what was going on.
I don't know, it just didn't make sense. If it was me (not that I do stuff like that anymore) I would have not even thought for a moment about taking energy drinks over beer, and I would have definetly done everything possible to make sure nobody could have seen me. But thats just me.
This also reminded me of when I watched someone rob the bank inside of Troutdale on a very busy Saturday morning. Funny thing was, I was the only one that noticed it! (except for the teller). But I will have tell that story some other time.

Teen pregnancy

Whats all the fuss about Jamie Lynn Spears? How many of our parents were teenagers when we were born. I wish our media would talk about something important.

Christmas party

We had our company Christmas party today. It was fun, but made for a pretty long day for me. They like to have it in the afternoon, and I am usually off work by then.
It was the 22nd year for one of the guys I work with at Cascade. I was trying to imagine what that would be like. Maybe I will know some day.
Anyway, 3 more days and im off work for a week! Cascade shuts the plant down for a couple weeks during Christmas which is nice. We get vacation pay for it, and I probably would not be so happy to get the days off if we didn't.

New website!

So I wanted to host my own website. If your not sure what that means, it is where my website resides on a computer I own. Previously I always had my websites online on my ISP's servers, and most recently on Microsoft's Office Live servers.

I also purchased a new domain name. My site is now www.blackcatgeek.com

When you go to that URL, you are pulling up the website from my own Linux Fedora 7 server sitting in my office! Ya, ya, who cares right? Well, I guess I can be a real geek, because I think its pretty cool, and am having a lot of fun building it. Its fun creating things and sharing them with friends right?

Anyway, feel free to check it out. It is only about 2 days old, so I have a ways to go, and some things may not work right yet, but please keep checking back to see my progress.
Oh, and if you have any suggestions please let me know. I am always open to a different perspective!

Nothing.. Nada

So, nothing stuck below about 1,500 feet. We did get to see some impressive snow flakes at home though. To bad they evaporated the moment they hit the ground.

Here is a quote from Mark Nelson at the KPTV weather blog regarding the lack of snow... "milkshakes are getting ready to be thrown at passing meteorologists this afternoon!" I love it!
