go out. I'll stick to the old map and compass, thanks. But a GPS would be handy nonetheless. I'm relatively familiar with the area, I've worked and played in the Black Hills all my life, but I like to see some new country, so I intentionally look for areas I haven't been, as well as scoping out all the areas I've known to hold turkeys.
All that's before I even start thinking about what gear to take. A wonderful way to beat the cabin fever.

Cabin fever is setting in bad. I must finish these damnable reports and get outside soon. Too many hours in front of the computer spent for work and not enough time left for play is making me a dull boy.
Bill Quick says the blog bubble will burst: "Tens of thousands of folks are getting a charge out of creating and maintaining blogs, with absolutely no financial rewards - except for a handful of bloggers so tiny their numbers are statistically meaningless noise. The charge is enough for now, but it won't last, and the blogosphere, currently in full expansion, will shrink like a popped balloon in another year or so, as hundreds of thousands of blogs go dark and dead.
"The problem is simple: it requires too much work and talent to maintain a good blog, work and talent that brings in nothing tangible for the creator. "
As neither work nor talent go into this blog I should be safe for now. Although perhaps I should bring in some porn just to liven things up..
It looks like Anton Sherwood may have found the job of his [bad] dreams, complete with evil HR director and pointy-haired boss no doubt.
For all the fellow winos, I've been enjoying Corbett Canyon's California Cabernet Sauvignon. A nice long finish is its best characteristic.

Wake up, Moonshine; the sixties are over! Between Megan McArdle and Stephen Green, there's not a lot left to be said this evening. No particular post, just a double roll. Go read them.
Blue glowing moon crystals from the nether regions of the emailbag:
If you are a time traveler or alien disguised as human and or have
the technology to travel physically through time I need your help!
My life has been severely tampered with and cursed!!
I have suffered tremendously and am now dying!
I need to be able to:
Travel back in time.
Rewind my life including my age back to 4.
I am in very great danger and need this immediately!
I need as close to temporal reversion as possible, as safely as possible.
To be able to rewind the hands of time in such a way that the universe of
now will cease to exist.
I know that there are some very powerful people out there with alien or
government equipment capable of doing just that.
I am aware of two types of time travel one in physical form and the other
in energy form where a snapshot of your brain is taken using either the
dimensional warp or an electronic device and then sends your consciousness
back through time to part with your younger self. Please explain
how safe and what your method involves.
I have a time machine now, but it has limited abilities and is useless
without a vortex.
If you can provide information on how to create vortex generator or
where I can get some of the blue glowing moon crystals this would also
be helpful. I am however concerned with the high level of radiation these
crystals give off, if you could provide a shielding or other crystals
which give off a north polarized vortex field just as strong or strong
enough to make a watch stop this would be great.
Only if you have this technology and can help me exactly as mentioned
please send me a (SEPARATE) email to: ..
Please do not reply if your an evil alien!
If you have a spare vortex lying around, or some blue glowing moon crystals, let me know and I'll pass the info along.. But don't bother replying if you're an evil alien or your method isn't proven safe and effective. OK?
Let me get this straight. According to Deirdre Davidson, writing for the Legal Times, forty former and current government employees are facing possible contempt charges in Cobell v. Norton, ".. the contentious case over the govern
