florida road geekery
I am admittedly a road geek. Even before I discovered GPS in 2005 I was always fascinated by how roads, highways and interstates work in the US. In particular I like learning about road history because it almost never goes according to plan.
I scratched off another movie off my list I've been meaning to buy for a while, Dragonheart. This is one of the very few movies I know of that is 100% flawless. There are absolutely no mistakes in this film and to be honest I'm surprised it's not better known.
The Lord spake, and said "Let there be Bic Ultra Round Stic Grip pens featuring Easy Glide", and it was good.
Even though this is a really dangerous situation (it's a very busy intersection), artistically speaking this looks really cool. :-)

Per the recent migration to Flickr I got to scan over the hundreds of photos I have.. again. I was kind of surprised to find out how many photos I have of stuff that no longer exists or has changed significantly.
A photo I took.
I broke out the ol' Ensoniq SQ-1 Plus and ripped it up a bit Deep Purple style, a.k.a. Jon Lord. The SQ-1+ in particular has one of the most spot-on Hammond sounds you can get - no question. There's something about the way it does it that just sounds right.
I purchased a used washer/dryer set. On a recommendation I went to Chester's Discount Appliances. This is a local place in Tampa Florida and is as old-school as you can get as far as a shop is concerned. There is no showroom and no people in company uniforms. None o' that. Just a big purple (yes purple) warehouse with rows and rows of used appliances.
Yesterday I stopped in a local fuel station near my father's house.
The price was $3.95 a gallon.
After I picked up my new betta fish today I spotted an AMC Gremlin on the way back, pictured below.
