It looks like bob O’Connor has won. I got a strong feeling that he is just WRONG for the city, but the sad thing is since he is the democrat nomination he will win in November, but one thing is for sure, this O’Connor will be out campaigning against that O’Connor, I doubt it will[…]

Well I got home from work and worked on moving my Betta from the 2.5 gallon tank to the 10 Gallon tank, he is not really happy with me right now. While I was at it, I did a lot of aquatic gardening, I took a lot of plants out of the 20 gallon tank[…]

I found a list of blogs by Lutherans It would be nice if it was LCMS centered but oh well. I submitted my site, I hope that it gets listed. I wonder if they plan to do some syndication like the Pittsburgh Bloggers site does.

Well I did it, I voted today; I went down and voted on the 3 things my voice would matter in. The 2 referendums and the special election for the state senate. Being a republican I did not bother to vote on the primaries, it not like it would have mattered, the republicans never win[…]

Well this week is National Bike to work week. Just some of the benefits to biking to work, it is better for your Health; you don’t really have to sit in traffic (therefore it is more relaxing) [and for those of you that are into preserving the environment, it does not cause pollution]. You do[…]

I checked into Sunday’s scanner net this week, it was fun, it lasted a bit longer then it was planned to last by the net control. I got some good information, I was wondering about what frequency the TV stations use to communicate to their choppers, and to the people that they send out to[…]

They say that in the next 5 years that the internet might die because of spam, well I am starting to think it might be sooner, I am getting so tired of all the spam, this last weekend I got well over 100+ spam messages all about some fake stock about to move, I guess[…]

I just read about the other referendum on WPXI’s web site. After reading the article and seeing a talk show on the race (here) I don’t think this is a good referendum. Yes cutting jobs in government does sound good, but the jobs they want to cut, are important ones, and I don’t thing they[…]

Well if they are a member of First Trinity, they might find themselves at a Graduation party (congratulation Jonathan). We had “Dance Dance Revolution”, and Karaoke. It was great fun, one of our Pastors did Elvis songs, and I got 2 videos of it, here and here. I also got a lot of pictures of[…]

I just looked at my log files, and found that people are finding my site from google with search terms that hit my web site for an entry that I put in just the day before. It is cool that google indexes my site almost once a day.

The City is cracking down on scalpers

The City of Pittsburgh is limiting scalpers to a limited area, I think this is a good start, but I believe that the city should make scalping illegal; my opinion is that scalpers are the scum of the earth. They try to buy up all available tickets then try to sell them for more then[…]

To top off my bike ride today, I saw some news coppers over the north shore, so out of curiosity I bike on over there. As I come up from the bike trail I get told by a police officer to get away from the bridge (the office was not being bossy or anything like[…]
