Update

My goodness! Fifteen days since my last post. What have I been up to? Well, aren't we the nosy one, but I'll tell you anyway. Last week I did very little. I mostly played World of Warcraft that my brother has gotten me hooked on (dammit!). I then proceeded to procrastinate until the last 36 hours to write a paper for my Constitutional Law class, which turned out to be a huge, lengthy project. I despise taking classes from Ph.D's 'cause they seem to give out Master's level work. It's like they forgot what it was like to earn a Bachelor's degree 'cause it was so long ago. Consequently, since my entire weekend was taken up by the 20+ page law paper, that left me only a day and a half to start and complete my presentation on white male privilege for another class. But I manged to finish that at the last minute (or to be literal, the last 3 minutes) as well. Then on Thursday I took the ASVAB and today I joined the Army National Guard. Woo hoo! I won't brag too much about my ASVAB score, but since my sister can't remember her score, I'm going to assume mine was higher. The processing was a damn tedious ordeal and I promise that I intend to write a lengthy report about all the goings on. I've actually been functioning for the last 35 hours on less than 3 hours of sleep. So I'm going to bed.

New Shoes

Check out the fancy new wheels for my baby. Also notice the rear taillight covers that I got with the gift certificate my loving brother, sister, brother-in-law and sister-in-law got me for my birthday from Summit (I'm boycotting those crooks at JCWhitney). On the front is a set of light covers for the fog and amber lights as well.

Big Ass Spider


I found this big ass spider yesterday, which is actually quite a descriptive term. As you can see, this spider has a HUGE ass. I think it may have been a pregnant female. She couldn't even hold herself up on her web. Now, I hate spiders. Really, truly hate spiders w/ a passion. But this one was so odd looking I just had to catch it to show everyone. It has the biggest body of any spider I've ever seen. It took me forever to catch her 'cause I was so scared to go near. It gave me the willie squidgets just look at her.

Canoe From Juneau in Smithsonian

When I was still in AK my boss's husband and brother-in-law began working on a tribal canoe along w/ several other people. It's finally finished and Fox News in D.C. did a story on the canoe. Here's a clip. Her husband can be seen carrying the canoe right after the elderly native finishes talking and her brother-in-law is the younger person that speaks. Pretty hard to believe they carved those intricate designs out of a big tree trunk.

How the f^(k does someone submerge their full-size van...

...in a lake when they're trying to load their boat on the ramp? That was the question one deputy asked the responding officer last night after hearing the call on the radio. We got to Dixon Lake in Otsego County a little before midnight expecting to find some drunk idiot scratching his head and a big conversion van in the water. We found neither. The guy wasn't drunk and the van was no where in sight. It couldn't be seen even w/ 3 flashlights shining on the area.

The guy claimed he was backing up his van so he could load his 12 ft boat on top of it when the brakes went out. Somehow the 6,000 pound van managed to find its way nearly 50 yards past the shore. And as if this guy wasn't already having the worst day of his life, he explained to the deputy that he had just left his wife that day and everything he owned was in the van. Well, immediately everyone was wondering if perhaps wifey was in the van chopped up in the cooler along with the walleye he caught. So he got to spend a couple hours in the back of a patrol car 'til everything was figured out. The wife was contacted to make sure she was okay and she apparently had no idea he was leaving her. He left her a note that she hadn't found yet. I hope he was able to get home before she found that note 'cause he had nowhere else to go. That van was gonna be his home for a little while so he had just cleaned it all out that day and polished it up nice. Perhaps he should have spent a little time checking it out mechanically and maybe he would have seen all the brake fluid leaking out.

The Charlevoix County dive team came out to find the van and hook up the lines so a wrecker could pull it out. That poor guy is gonna have a $1,200 tow bill at least. They brought out the big semi wrecker and two flat beds, one for the van and one for the teeny boat. Perhaps the funniest thing of all was that when they pulled the van from the water it was in park. Before the guy rolled down the window to escape with his life from this sinking vehicle he was courteous enough to throw it in park so it wouldn't roll away and hit any of the other submerged vehicles.
