Salt

Posted 12/2/2011 9:39:00 AM

I read that the rebuilt portion of Hastings Way won't be salted this year, in order to protect the new concrete.  Thumbs up to that.  Before the haters chime in, I'm sure they'll use other methods of controlling the ice...and they'll still plow it.  In the "comments" section of the article I read, a reader suggested using beet juice (which works).  The he added that it "would be environmentally friendly, and get rid of beets." 

Sounds like somebody was force-fed beets as a child.  Poor guy.



Some of the things I've been listening to lately

Posted 11/3/2011 11:33:00 AM

Volbeat - "Heaven Nor Hell" is a good song.

Flyleaf - "I'm So Sick"...hot chicks that rock are people I can get behind.

Fair to Midland - "Dance of the Manatee"

The Rubberbandits - "Horse Outside".  I don't drive a Honda Civic.

Skillet - The entire "Awake & Alive" album

The new Kelly Clarkson Album, because in the recesses of my mind I still believe she and I are destined to be together for eternity.

The new Miranda Lambert album, because the guy in the office next to me has it playing on loop. :(

 



A-Z

I'm going A-Z on my iPod right now.  It's a good way to realize I don't really need to hear most of the 80s pop hits that have found their way on the device.  For those wanting to know, at this moment I'm on 'W'.  This has been a 2 month exercise.
