I sometimes wonder about people. Like <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/03/18/build/state/65-gun-plea.inc">this</a> man up in Great Falls. He wanted to go on a "killing spree." As if there isn't enough death and destruction in this world, he wants to add to it. It takes all types, but this type we could do without.<br />n<br />n<b>I arise in the morning…

<a href="http://www.dhmo.org/facts.html">Dihydrogen monoxide</a>, an odorless, tasteless chemical that can be deadly if accidentally inhaled. My sounds like awful stuff. So bad that one California town was getting ready to <a href="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/ap/h2o_hoax">ban foam cups</a> since this deadly chemical was used in their production. Little mistake here though. Dihydrogen Monoxide, H2O, is actually water. What a dangerous…

Are alcohol companies using some of the same tactics that tobacco companies used to recruit underage kids to their products? According to <a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/2004/0315/p12s02-lifp.html">this article</a> they might be. I haven't ever visited one of these websites maintained by alcohol companies, nor do I want to, so I am just going by what the article states.…

I saw <a href="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/nm/20040309/tc_nm/column_pluggedin_dc">this story</a> and all I could think about is Michael Erickson's <a href="http://216.187.184.100/">Computer 4 Kids</a> program. Good place to give old computers a good home.<br />n<br />n<i>At its most basic, we figured there wasn't any reason for unused computer equipment to be thrown away when there was any number of kids that…

It was about a week ago that the moon was shining full and clear and was quite the sight to behold. But as beautiful as the moon is when it is like this last night again,with no moon shining, the stars were just crystal clear and beautiful. The Milky Way was shining in its full…

One of the things I really enjoy about this time of year is the watching the young calves bucking and playing when the weather is nice. As they get older they lose some of their playfulness and just aren't quite as cute. <a href="http://www.nowherethoughts.net/cowpix1.html">Here</a> are some pictures for you to enjoy.<br />n<br />n<b>Grief can take…

Head for them thar hills, a Tsunami's coming. The only problem is the <a href="http://www.denverpost.com/Stories/0,1413,36~53~1994926,00.html">tsunami warning came in Gypsum CO</a>, elevation 6,334 feet. How much higher in the hills due you need to be if this isn't high enough? All turned out well though, just a mistake.<br />n<br />n<b>Every great mistake has a halfway moment,…

I read stories like <a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/2004/0302/p12s01-legn.html">this</a> quite often complaining about the Internet and plagiarism. Truthfully, as bad as it may sound, I can understand why students do it. That all powerful grade and college degree are pretty powerful anymore. This just means parents need to work harder to instill that right and wrong in their…

<a href="http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/news/politics/8097618.htm">House Votes to Reward Asteroid Chasers</a>. $3000 reward to amateurs for discovering and tracking near-Earth asteroids. My question is what good does this do us? Give us a couple of days warning to kiss our ass's goodbye instead of it being a surprise. I don't see much else it will do for us.<br />n<br…

Well it appears there are <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//testdex.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/03/02/build/state/50-wolves.inc">rumblings</a> that the states of Idaho and Montana might get some limited control over their wolves while Wyoming stalls the whole delisting procedure with its stance. I am just concerned, like Steve Pilcher in the article, that it is going to be a token effort to make people feel…
