I just wanted to remind everybody that tomorrow, the 20th of February is National Vacuum Maintenance Day. Please remember to check your vacuums and change those belts. You don't want to blow a belt when vacuuming. Ever since the incident I have been trying to influence as many people as possible to replace their vacuum belts.

It happens to the best of us... It happens in line at the store. It happens while driving. It happens while on the train during your hour long commute to the city. It happens without warning. What do you do? You ditch your underwear you freak. You just crapped your pants. I want to hear your pant crapping events in detail. Post them as comments to this posting. Thanks! Here is one of the two pant crapping events that have taken place in my life.

I just got back from Denver and witnessed something amazing. The mountains received over 6 inches of snow in August! It snowed enough to temporarily close Loveland pass in August. I don't live in Denver but suspect that snow in August never happens.

We got to see and touch the snow first hand when we drove up to Mt. Evans. Mt. Evans is the highest paved road in North America and at it's highest point comes in at 14,264 feet above sea level. Driving up Mt Evans is a bit scary at first, since there are no guard rails and any wrong move in a car will send you tumbling over cliffs to your death.

Here are a couple of photos from August 8, 2008 on Mt Evans

The year was 2002. It was the winter. I got one of those strange feelings inside, you know that feeling you get once in a while that says "go buy a hamster". Yea, well I woke up with that feeling and decided I should listen to my gut instincts. Perhaps God was relaying a message to me because that hamster would somehow play an integral role in saving my life. Maybe someone would break into my house in the middle of the night, and the hamster would see this thief and begin running its little heart out on the hamster wheel in an effort to signal to me that my life was in danger. A hamster wheel burglar alarm. I could put a sign up in my front yard that says my home is protected by a hamster wheel.
