Snippet a trois
Recently, at my wife's work:
Lady: Those are beautiful earrings.
Wife: Thank you. They were a Christmas present from my husband.
Lady: He's either very nice or he was very naughty.
Wife: He's very nice.
Lady: Then *you* must have been very naughty.
LOL

I would not presume to select earrings for my wee wifey. She buys her own. I do, however, drive her to the piercer every time she wants the ability do display more of them.

Life is like a box of chocolates...
...skewered onto the pointy nose of the Concorde. It's been insanely busy and hectic around the ol' homestead lately, hence the relative quiet around Rocket Jones. Count your blessings, people.
I have been doing *some* visiting, but at the end of the day I'm usually so burnt out that I just fire up the aggregator and skim sites that way.

NaNoWriMo revisited, revisited
Chapters 3 and 4 are posted in the extended entry.
Follow this link for
Chapters 1 and 2, and don't forget the contest:
Suggest a title in the comments.
On the first of February, I'll pick a few of the best suggestions and we'll have a contest. The person who suggests the winning title will win a prize, and not just some California-style self-esteem-building touchy-feely crap either. I'm talking about a real hold-it-in-your-hand American icon of conspicuous commercialism.
Thanks to those who've provided feedback, good and bad. Every bit of criticism is helpful.

That sucked...er, blows
Our power just came back on a little bit ago. It went out early yesterday afternoon. In almost 16 years living here, that 22 hour stretch sans electricity exceeded the old record by about 16 hours.
The culprit is the wind. It's been relentless for the last couple of days, and trees and power lines are down all over the area. Throw in intermittent rain, some blowing snow and bone-chilling wind chill temps, and it's been fun fun fun.
We couldn't get an estimate on how long before power would be restored, so I took matters into my own hands and this morning headed to the grocery store for bags of ice. Not two hours later the lights flickered on. It always happens that way, you just have to use it to your advantage, eh?
In the meantime, our monthly club rocket launch was scrubbed. We can deal with rain and snow and most everything else Mother Nature can fling, but we can't launch in high winds. And of course, today is bright and sunny and the wind is still whipping ass, so no rockets for Ted this weekend.
On the plus side, it's amazing how much stuff you can get done when you're not parked in front of the computer.

Yeah,Ted,I was one of the few who did manage to get in a flight before it was called off.I figured that with high winds and all I was gonna go the cheap and disposable theme this weekend so I started with my newly built Flis Tumbleweed.I figured I might stand a chance of keeping an eye on it if I "just" flew it on a 1/2A-2.Weeeeell it may as well have been an M motor.In typical mosquitoish fashion it jumped to put it mildly.Now with the Tumbleweed the motor isn't supposed to kick out on ejection but rather just to shift rearward.Well mine did come out.As light as it is it absolutely took off on the wind.It had to because two kids found it(thanks again fellas!)way out past the high powered pads down over the hill.I'm very fortunate.I probably don't have to tell you what the recovery rate is on those style rockets even on a perfect day.
Besides that Ken and I where again the last to leave.I have to thank him for sticking around to take care of totalling an order for me.All kinds of goodies on the way as well as already recieved.Kid in a candy store!Something else I probably don't have to explain,huh?
Anyhow I stuck around and helped him pack up and by the time it was done we where frozen solid.Our hands where so numb we could hardly move `em.Maw nature must not have thought the wind wasn't raw enough so she decided to water it down a bit.One of the last things I said to Ken before leaving was;"I'll bet it's snowing on the mountain".Sure enough!We wound up with around four inches last night and the wind chill was brutal.It was already down to 22 degrees when I got home yesterday so I can't imagine how cold it was at about 6 this morning.I forgot to look.

I hope nothing ended up spoiling in the 'fridge! Did you all stay nice and cozy, at least...?
I grew up in a very rural area of Texas, and the power lines were notorious for going down at the least hint of ice or lightning. The longest stretch was three days. To this day it's still the family habit to stock up on canned goods and non-perishables, just in case. Never mind the fact that the area filled up with people and the roads got paved and the power lines were overhauled...Mom still insists on keeping the pantry filled and emergency contingencies planned. I can see her reasoning, though--sometimes ya never know, yanno?
I hope you weather the weather fine and get a chance to blow stuff up soon, hon!

I'm curious, since it was bone chilling weather outside why didn't you put transfer the refrigerated items outdoors? When ts happened to me I simply get a box and put them out in the fire escape until the power comes back. Heck it was so cold this weekend in nyc I could haved made my own ice out doors or used the snow before the puppy's got to it! : )

bone chillin' winds up here, too. And with the holiday bus schedule, I mistaken ly got to the bus stop 5 minutes before I thought the bus would arrive and ended up waiting 50 minutes for it. Brr-rr-rr-rr!

Congrats are in order
I've been reading Blogeline for a couple of years now, and I'm proud to announce that on Thursday she became a US citizen!
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Didn't we already go through this once?
I talked about Freedom Park in Rosslyn, Virginia, and how one of the exhibits is an actual segment of the Berlin wall (nine complete sections) and an East German guard tower.
For the last couple of days, they've had the street blocked off so that they could remove those pieces of the wall and relocate them to the new home of the
Newseum in downtown DC. Not that anyone asked me for my opinion, but I personally think those historic barriers belong in Freedom Park, not in a museum dedicated to news.

Well actually it may be the perfect place for it.Most of the modern media is liberal biased.Liberals have a real boner for communism.Perhaps they put it there to remind themselves of their ultimate goal.Or,perhaps,they felt like any reminders of what communism means would be better off in some place where nobody's gonna go anyhow as apposed to standing in public for many to see.Sweep it under the carpet right on top of the Second Ammendment and any other law that doesn't suit their own greedy assed purpose.
Personally I think they should put it to good use and use it as a starting point to just build a new wall around D.C.Don't forget Prince Georges and Montgomery counties either.Any place that gives you a ticket for leaving your car idling in your own driveway or leaving Christmas presents in the same car because it "encourages crime" should be walled in.Watch out ladies!Don't wear that low cut thingy.If you get jumped walking home you may get a ticket for encouraging it.

Yeah that is sad. Everyday to and from work I walk past them. It is sad that they are so hidden in the first place. But it fits with how most people view history. They tend to forget it in some back alley or hidden corner.

NaNoWriMo revisited
You know what they say about the road to hell being paved with good intentions.
In November I was going great guns on my National Novel Writing Month work, until I hit a speedbump and lost several thousand words worth of work. You can see by the meter on the right sidebar that I'd almost "officially" reached 60%, and what I lost had put me over that milestone.
In December
I announced that I was going to finish the story, yet I never wrote another word.
So once again, in an effort to kick-start myself, I'm going to start posting what I already have, and it seems to me to be the perfect opportunity to have a contest too.
The first two chapters are posted in the extended entry. Read them, and then suggest a title in the comments. I have a "working" title in my mind, but I really don't like it much, so I'm open to any and all suggestions. If you're shy, then send me an email with your title, that works too.
On the first of February, I'll pick a few of the best suggestions and we'll have a contest. The person who suggests the winning title will win a prize, and not just some California-style self-esteem-building touchy-feely crap either. I'm talking about a real hold-it-in-your-hand American icon of conspicuous commercialism.
So read. Be a critic. Be an editor. Come up with a title. Comment. Feedback.
Inspire me, dammit.

Well, not knowing where this is going, I can only suggest some (prolly im)possible titles.
(I'm seeing really cheesy pulp fiction jacket art here, btw.) **ahem**

Oh, For The Luvva.... CHRIST!!! (horrified expression on highschool boy's face)

Since we can't walk on water
Except for that one notable exception, that is.
Over at
Hold the Mayo, Stephen links to the
Whitbread Round the World sailboat race, renamed this year for corporate sponsorship like everything else these days. He's got a bunch of great links and a cool map of the course, which takes months to complete. Here's his description of one leg of the race:
Southern Ocean Here we come again! Iceberg dodging, gale riding, wave surfing, freezing cold, scary, knackering, frightening but FUN. (Yes for some the idea of surfing down a wave in a 70 foot boat in gale force winds while on the lookout for icebergs is considered fun.)
I crewed on a sailboat once. In calm weather. For fun. I have absolutely no idea what it would be like to do what these adventurers do. So I can visit their sites and read, because some of them are posting their daily logs and even video of the race.
Meanwhile, over on the other side of the country, PJ Swenson of
Sharkspage gives the heads up on the
2006 Mavericks Surf Contest.
The Mavericks Surf Contest brings together 24 of the world's best big-wave surfers on just 24 hours' notice – between January 1 and March 31, 2006.
When the big waves arrive, the notice goes out and the surfers have to be there and ready to compete 24 hours later. These are serious surfers.
When Mavericks roared through Half Moon Bay last March, 30,000 spectators and two million television viewers in 70 countries watched the best big-wave riders on the planet conquer waves that crested at nearly 50 feet in frigid waters with dangerous currents, jagged rocks and the ever-present threat of the Great White Shark.
That ain't hype either. Check out PJ's page for more links and info.

Got out of town on a boat
Goin' to Southern islands.
Sailing a reach
Before a followin' sea.
She was makin' for the trades
On the outside,
And the downhill run
To Papeete.
Off the wind on this heading
Lie the Marquesas.
We got eighty feet of the waterline.
Nicely making way.

Maybe you've heard about this one
My buddy Russ sent this link:
Everything you see really happened in real time, exactly as you see it. The film required 606 takes. On the first 605 takes, something, usually very minor, didn't work. They would then have to set the whole thing up again.
Really, go see for yourself. It's absolutely amazing. Two minutes of pure genius.
Honda Accord Commercial.

Hey,Ted!Glad you liked it.I knew you would.Never gave much thought about how it stood on my "list" until now.Pretty high up though.Ironically another one of my all time fave commercials was an old Honda commercial....I think.That is if memory serves me well.I believe it was for that funky rear/front wheel steering combo that they where trying to push several years ago.Basically two cars are hauling ass beside each other with a bit over their own widths between them.Another car is hauling towards them from the opposite direction.Head on in other words.At the last possible second the lone car pulls a wicked stunt move by jamming on the brakes,spinning around 180 and threading the needle backwards between the other two cars at about 80 or so with only about 6 inches to spare on either side.After passing between the other cars the stunt fool spins the center car right back around and continues on just like it never happened.The whole thing covered about two or three seconds max and was way too smooth.Some awesome driving on someones part.
Ironically there's another Honda commercial that I'm kinda mixed about.That's the new Odessey commercial with all of the way cool old custom vans.The part I didn't like is that they actually have the gall to compare their lame assed mini crapper with those awesome pieces of automotive artwork.Who the fuck are they foolin'?Nobody!Now the part that I did like is that all of those old vans where Dodges,every one of them.Comparing yer rice rocket to fine auto art is one thing but comparing it to rad Mopar muscle is a real stretch.Perhaps they're still pissed about getting their asses beat so badly in the old North American Touring Car series?I vote for them returning the Odessey back to it's roots and giving up.For all of you youngsters y'all can read "roots" as dune buggy.Still don't remember?Ask yer parents what it means.

snippet
My wife calls me on her way to work every morning. From the other day:
Wife: My battery's dead.
Me: How did that happen?
Wife: I don't know.
Me: Did you leave your lights on?
Wife: My cell phone battery, not my car.
Me: Oh.
Wife: You think like a guy.
To be precise, I think like a guy who doesn't own a cell phone.

You just think logically. If somebody calls from their cell phone and says that their battery died the last battery you would think of would be their cell phone since they're using it to call you.
So, how did she call you on a dead cell phone battery?

Cell phones typically have a battery power meter on the display. Anyone who pays attention to their phone has plenty of warning, and if not they give you a warning shortly before they run out.
Cell phones are communicating with the network even when "hung up" and thus consuming power when you don't expect it.
One cellular company I worked for had a site right on the building. Our office was right on a sector node line, and being as the technology was GSM, there was a spot in the office where you could set your phone and it would do a hard handover every cycle. Battery charge didn't last long.
Another time I was working on a CDMA launch and we were doing continuous cluster map drives. Someone screwed up and got us trickle chargers to run off the inverter. I had two phones rigged to the laptop, one doing short calls and one keeping a long call up. The short call phone could grab enough power during the 15 second pause between calls to hold a charge for an hour. We had to stop for 15 mnutes after each file to cool, swap and charge the batteries.

Good on 'em!
Rhode Island Legalizes Medical Marijuana.
This makes me happy for two reasons. First, because there are demonstrated benefits to some cancer, glaucoma and AIDS patients from smoking marijuana.
Second, because it's an always-welcomed poke in Uncle Sam's eye when a state asserts its rights over the federal system. The correct answer is almost never "more government involvement".

Thanks a lot, dude. I hope that 2006 is full of health and happiness for your family, and lots of rocket flying for you!
I would suggest one addition to the Organizations section: the NARHAMS club, the oldest chartered NAR section in the country, which has friendly fly-whatcha-brung launches near Frederick, MD and at the Goddard Space Flight Center visitors's center. Their site is at www.narhams.org. I am, as you know, a strong supporter of both NOVAAR and NARHAMS, two fine clubs that welcome newcomers and curious onlookers. There is no better way to learn what this sport of ours is all about than to show up at one of these clubs' events, preferably with kids in tow. Thank you for helping to expand the number of grownups who think it's fun to make little cardboard tubes go up in the air.

NARHAMS will be added, so will the folks down at Whitakers. The list is very preliminary, I just wanted to get it out there so I'd have a one-stop page for all of my resources.

Because I'm a traditional kind of guy
C'mon, you know it's true, Chuck Norris Jokes are a New Year's Tradition!
My favorites:
Chuck Norris counted to infinity - twice.
When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.
As a teen Chuck Norris impregnated every nun in a convent tucked away in the hills of Tuscany. Nine months later the nuns gave birth to the 1972 Miami Dolphins, the only undefeated and untied team in professional football history.
What, you got something against tradition?

Special thanks to Nic for arranging this and getting the tickets. If we get into a brawl with
those lowlife inbred Philly drunkards overly-boistrous Flyers fans, I'll make sure to post pictures.
Update: What a game!!! The Capitals won 4-3 in a shootout. Forsberg was amazing, and Ovechkin was even more so. Great company, great times. Happy New Year to everyone!
Oh, and... Yay Hats!!!
