CNN.com has an article about a study conducted of high school students in America. I believe I participated in this study (or else one very similar to it). The results are quite astounding. I had the inclination that my generation has no regards for basic freedoms, but this, unfortunately, just proves it. The study showed, [...]

Jeep
My brother finally got his Jeep back yesterday. He still can’t start it because there is ice in the engine block, but that’s not the best part. When he opened up his hood he found that a muskrat had built a nest in his engine while it was still in the water. The muskrat chewed [...]

Beliefs
I am a Christian. I have been for five years, but I try not to flaunt it. I will discuss it if the oportunity arises, but otherwise I generally don’t force it on anybody. This means that this blog will be a clean blog, but not all the blogs on my blogroll are. I [...]

Internet
Today for US History my teacher had us go to the computer lab to use the internet to look up info about the Civil War and slavery. She said that if it worked out she would have us do this once a week. The idea was pretty good, but poorly executed. My history teacher is [...]

Water
The plumber fixed our pipes today. I guess that means no more indoor snowball fights, but at least I can get a shower and do some laundry.

Jeep update
We can’t get the Jeep out today because the water level went up instead of down like we had hoped. I did get a picture. I might have taken more but the memory stick was full.

Flooding story
We’ve been having some really bad rain around where I live. Alot of local roads are closed because of it. My brother was driving down one of those roads when he came to the road block. He thought his Jeep had enough ground clearance to get through. He went around the barracade got through part [...]

MuVo and other stuff
I got a Creative MuVo the other day. It’s a 256MB model with built in mic and FM radio. I had some money left on a gift card I got for Christmas so I only ended up paying just under $30 for it. I love the MuVo. It’s a simple, easy design, and great for [...]

Internet back
I haven’t been online since Tuesday because bad weather caused my cable to go out, but it’s back now. I’m just thankful that I didn’t also lose power which happened to several people who live only a few miles from me.
A while ago I said I was going to write an essay on government, but [...]
