Wild blue yonder

Ever heard of the Reno Air Races? No? Well, do something about it because these are the coolest races around. Air shows are a'plenty in this country, but airplanes racing against each other, yeah, not so common. All I can say is super cool, and you have to be there to get it. They're happening this weekend, and yep, I'm on my way to Reno (this is coming to you live from Eugene, OR). If you can't make it this year, consider making your way to northern Nevada next time - it's well worth the trip, and your adrenaline will definitely get a boost.

Where did the time go?

Ok, I admit it. I kind of forgot about my "water on wax" blog... So, why today, do I resume my ramblings? Well, I have no concrete reason - it just seemed like a good thing to do. When I started this blog, it was to participate in a "techie" program where I work. My intentions were good when I started, but then other work responsibilities crept in, and before I knew it, the whole "I'll get up to speed on the happenin tech stuff" fell flat. So, now in 2009, I decide to get back in the groove - what's up with that?

Right now I'm watching a Mariners game on tv in Boardman, OR. Never heard of it? Well, now's the time to expand your boundaries - check out an atlas (print or online - I'm not picky) and take a look at the state of Oregon. Pretty cool area if you've never been there...
