Ok, so wow, I just realized that I made two (2) updates during the entire month of April. Slackerpaloza. I’ve spent a few hours to actually kludge my way through customizing the site. So far, so good. I’ve got most everything accomplished that I set out to do.

So in Indiana, you can find a fireworks stand literally every two miles, yet tonight I came to learn that anything that fires into the air is illegal to use. And I have a $50 ticket to prove this. So you can buy everything from bottle rockets to roman candles to repeaters to 6″ mortars, but you can’t fucking use them. Jesus christ. That makes no fucking sense. Also shows that I’m a fucking idiot for not checking into it, as if I had known setting off fireworks was illegal, I probably wouldn’t have a ticket, as I would have ditched the evidence and booked it once I saw a patrol car.

I know that I suck at keeping to things. As evidenced by the two weeks of no posting. Things just slip my mind, so I finally had the good sense to add this page to the links on my start page, so that I might actually remember to write something now and again.

And the impetus for this site was so that I could record my memories, before I forget them, things about high school and college. Things I did, teachers I had, and people I knew, so that one day I might have record of it all, as I’m chronically bad with names to begin with. So hopefully with the link I’ll actually start putting some of those thoughts to “paper.”

Although I really shouldn’t be complaining. Considering last week was the last full week of classes, it could have been much worse. Only one test (Chemistry) and the last English paper I’ll ever have to write. That gave me the warm fuzzies for a while. Papers have been the scourge of my learning experience for, well, ever.

The bridges are also winding down for the semester. The replacement bridge is set at the Vineyard site, after far to many last minute things and far too much half assed work just to get them done. But it’s placed, and still standing. We also just cut 95% of the cap stones for the retaining wall for the campus site. Nothing like a Partner saw with a giant 14″ concrete abrasive blade.
