Superman in a bottle

There was some crap about iMacs in French at the bottom, but I found this bit far more funny!

Oil, mega-uptrend, This Co. has the oil, pumping it daily

More news was released today for TiRR, apparently. If you know who TiRR are, do tell, as I don't have the dejection to put it into Google.

Route back was the same in reverse order, starting in American Fork instead. First off, we left late. Nothing surprising with my family. We were supposed to leave at 3 pm Friday. We left at 8, after a stop at the Hawthorne Safeway and Fred Meyer. My father drove up 39th Ave, then hopped onto the Banfield Freeway. At about 50th Avenue, the freeway has an interesting trailblazer sign: On top, the blue interstate cardinal sign (East), then the US 30 shield, and on bottom the I-84 shield. The speed signs still say 55 in the Portland Metro area. As soon as the 84 clears the mile-long interchange with I-205, it switches names from the Banfield to the Columbia River Highway. At this point, it's simply known locally as the 84. Six lanes till exit 16-- two lanes drop at the interchange, then the freeway crosses the Sandy River and enters the Columbia River Gorge. From Exit 17 to about Exit 40, US 30 is not signed with I-84 on the trailblazers, despite being marked as duplexed on my 1989, 1997, 1999 (no longer in my possesion-- traded out for the 1989) and 2004 Portland Metro Thomas Guide and in my 2003 Pacific NW Thomas Guide Atlas, as well as noted on Mike Wiley's site. Exit 35 is a left exit for the parking lot for Multnomah Falls; the parking lot sits between the mainlines, with pedestrian access to the Falls under the eastbound lanes. As soon as the Historic Columbia River Highway joins with the 84, the US 30 shields appear under the I-84 shields again. At Exit 179, I-82 branches north toward the Tri-Cities of Washington. I-82 in Oregon, looking at my Pac NW TG, is marked opposite of its cardinal direction. Traveling east on 82 from Washington is actually headed southwest. While there isn't much point in suggesting this, it'd be more logical to mark I-82 in Oregon as north-south. Of course, the entire point might be made moot if ODOT and the state take the idea of an I-7 seriously at all. Here's to hoping!

I'm sick of all the French and German junks I'm getting. Sorry, Continental Europe, but until I have a cult Polish following, there'll be nowt but English up here.

English is partly French derived, partly Germanic, so you might understand some still!

Ach, who am I kidding? You speak better English than me, and I'm not even American!

Company hit two gas wells in Alaska. News after the close

What? Why? Do I look like I want to know about stocks and shares in a strange, blurry .gif format? Well, I don't know actually, what would that look like? ...No! Not me!

Well, I'm finally planning the First Campout. Me, my daughter, another single-mom friend and her daughter. Neither of us adults has a whole lot of experience at this; I'm just now negotiating to buy a nice big canvas tent secondhand. I do remember figuring out how to put one together a couple of times, oh, about 20 years ago :-). But I've never really camped by myself, that is planned it all, and never with kids. This will be in October, when Austin-area weather is finally cooled off, and will be in a nearby state park, which does have water facilities. I'm not sure and will be looking to find out what kind of bathroom facilities if any. I know this has been discussed but I don't seem to have saved any files about it. I'm looking for advice: what to take, what to cook (my friend is vegetarian and just now swore off cheese and chocolate -- ACK!) or maybe just bring food and not plan to cook. Surely atleast eggs/potatoes in the morning. What will I not think of? Like, I know to bring sunblock and mosquito repellant, and an air mattress for my old creaky body :-), sleeping bags, pillows, um. What else? What are some good things to plan to do? Nature hike, yeah, and singalongs around a campfire. Oh yeah, bring matches :-)! any other suggestions?? We took Shana camping for the first time a couple months ago (she was just over a year). I'd think it's a lot easier with an older kid.... If you are going car camping, you can bring a big ol' cooler stuffed full of frozen juice boxes or bottles of water, all of which can serve both to keep other stuff cool and as drinks. Folding chairs are a nice luxury. Paper towels. Duct tape. Firewood. Marshmallows, coathangers to toast them on, graham crackers and Hershey bars for s'mores. toilet paper. We have a coleman lantern which is wonderful in the evening for lighting up board games (scrabble when it's just adults, pictionary otherwise). This requires special fuel and a bit of expertise to keep running, so if you get one, practice at home first. Bring sport bottles to use as canteens when you go on hikes, and make sure everyone has sunhats. Oh, and a swiss army knife is a nice thing to have around even when you're back in the city. I use mine at least once a day here in the wilds of Pasadena ;-)

Is this yours? I couldn't find it on Google, so sod knows how it got into my emails...
