Oh man

If I owned a home you can bet I would have this installed.

Miracles

Is a miracle only a miracle if there is no scientific explanation? Or, why is it a miracle only when we are ignorant to the underlying processes? Just because no scientific explanation is available doesn't mean one doesn't exist.

Does a miracle exclude a scientific explaination? NO!!

Monkeying around...

Kyle is back...and this time he brought a friend!

Not kidding

For Christmas, Mindy and I received Sirius satellite radio (which I highly recommend). I'm not what you would call a "fan" of Christian music, but I listen to some of it anyways - Sirius has 3 Christian music stations.

It is quite obvious that these stations are not run by "Christians". The music includes Creed and similar bands. Their slogans/spots are interesting. See examples:

"Just because God loves you and has a plan for you doesn't mean your music has to suck."

"On a diet? The only thing you have to swallow today is your pride!"

I still think it's a breath of fresh air (comming from K-LOVE), but that's another post for another time.

Errors Galore!

You might consider losing a hard drive and it's backup at the same time an unfortunate coincidence - and it is. I just lost 140gigs of data and it's backup.

Fortunately, I have two other hard drives with the same data on a different computer.

Is it overkill to have the same 140gigs of data on 4 different hard drives? Probably - I didn't design the system.

Satisfied

Riding home as I typically do with my clunker single speed and backpack, I passed a cyclist all decked out in his team garb and $1000+ bike.

As a general rule, whenever you go riding in cycling clothes and a fancy bike you should be expected to outperform any guy in street clothes.

No exceptions...even for training or recovery rides.
