Ok Go

This video has been out for sometime now but I think it is still pretty cool and funny. It is a music video from the band Ok Go.

And I have just been using treadmills to run on. I could be having so much more fun doing pt.

This is their newest video which is what made me think of the last one.

 

I think that’s pretty crazy. I wonder how many times they had to film this to get it to work just right?

Garden of the Gods

CIMG0434 I drove through Garden of the Gods a few weeks ago while the weather was nice. There was pretty much no one there as it was a weekday which was very nice. You may remember Garden of the Gods from this post on my moms blog from when they came to visit last year. I got some good pictures of all the formations which I thought I would share with you all today.

I saw this house on a trail that leads out of Garden of the Gods. It was part of a gated community with several other giant houses. I wouldn’t mind living there, but sure wouldn’t want to pay the bill!

Jesus Rifles Part 2

I just saw on yahoo news that Trijicon voluntarily  offered to remove the scripture verses from all of their sights at no cost to the government. If you want to read the article here is a link.

Jesus Rifles?

alg_rifle_bible_verse So I saw this video on yahoo news last night and thought I would share it with you all. Unfortunately I could not get it to embed on here so you are just going to have to follow the link by copy and pasting it into your browser.

Now I don't know how you feel about this matter, but I think it's ridiculous. For one, Trijicon has been manufacturing this sights for several years and no one has cared; until the liberal media found out and now all the sudden it's an outrage.

Secondly I am only guessing here but I highly doubt that any terrorist that somehow gets his hands on one of these is going to be able to put two and two together and realize that the random letters and numbers are actually a verse from the bible that they don't read about a God that they don't belive in. So how can you be offended by something you don't belive in?

Personally I think it's awesome that Trijicon has been producing these sights. I hope they continue this practice for many more years. However since the sights are being used on military weapons it is going to be just another way the government is going to try to step in and take away our freedoms.

Maybe I'm overreacting a little but it's my opinion and I say, Jesus rifles? Really? Give me a break.

Christmas Cards

I have once again been getting hasseled about not posting anything, which can be hard to do if your working 12 hour days 7 days a week, however in order to get all the harassment to stop here we go.

I received a package in the mail the other day from the Allendale Rotary Club. It was filled with Christmas cards from the Allendale Elementary School. They ranged from kindergarten to 3rd graders. Here are a few of the ones that stood out from the rest.

CIMG0360 "Ho, ho ho, have a happy new year" with fun pop outs.

This one says "Dear soldier, thank you for fighting, merry Christmas"

CIMG0366 CIMG0368

"Happy Christmas, 3rd grader, Dear soldier, I thank you for freedom. So I'll give you this gift." If can't make that out taped beneath it is a paper snowflake cutout.

I received about 30 cards total and they all said pretty much the same thing, however there was 1 that went about saying it a little different.

CIMG0370 "Merry Christmas, Ho,ho"

"Have a great Christmas! If you die, we will remember you. Take care."

Um, Thank you, I guess. . .

 

 

I do really appreciate these cards. It is always fun to read them and see what the kids come up with. Thank you so much to the elementary kids who made these and the Allendale Rotarians.
