We cancelled our Maine camping plan because there will be some heavy rain there and it’ll be raining all weekend with a probability close to 100% according to the National Weather Service. Plus the visibility might not be great either. We’ll decide in the morning what to do. We might go somewhere else where it’s… Continue reading Change of Plan

Going to Maine
I am flying out to Jersey in a couple of hours. We’ll then drive to Maine for the long weekend. I’ll be back Monday night. No blogging until then.

It revolves around the Middle East and Europe (as is common for discussions about Islam; somehow Africa or Asia are rarely… Continue reading Treatment of Minorities

CATIC spokesman Mike Van Winkle said such evidence wasn’t needed to issue warnings on war protesters. “You can make an easy kind of a link that, if you have a protest group protesting a war where the cause that’s being fought… Continue reading Protestors are Terrorists
Whitewater
Summer is here and it’s time for whitewater rafting again. This is from the Ocoee river in Tennessee last year.

However, according to them, This is currently impossible. It willl likely be coded in about a month from now but for now, exporting can’t be done. So,… Continue reading Importing Comments
