I almost forgot how happy summer makes me

All I have to do is walk out my front door to appreciate how the skirts come out on nice days. This place is crawling with hotties! where were they all winter?

ok, in response to the last few days of post: Matt, good to see mike is going back, maybe SC is the kind of change he needs, a fresh start if you will. I'd say go ahead and move down there with him but I'm not so sure our everloving liberal views fly that well in the south. Brian, any job in alaska is going to pay great, its like the midwest, they can't get people to more there. every one of us could move to the midwest and find good high paying jobs. Josh, that sucks, the ticket only added insult to injury. Also i think you may want to think about getting some type of clerking/law internship again instead of working at the summer camp, especially if USC isn't somewhere you want to go. Brian, after reading your earthday post i was so inspired that i went into the shop at work and asked one of the guys to cut down the tree in front of our building. Its dead anyway but I thought it was kind foe ironic that my only contribution to earth day would be the destruction of nature. i spent at least a good hour and a half arguing politics with my bosses today. I've managed to persuade Frank to change his mind on a lot of things but Joe is very thick headed and way too republican/stubborn. He called me a pussy for using the argument that people are dying in Iraq. Plus the inspector was there today so I accomplished nothing. The inspector again suggested I fire someone until I talked him off his high horse and showed him some of the welds again. I find myself trying to defend him to Joe/Frank and then trying to keep him at bay. Maybe i should just let him be a prick and get himself fired. Its too bad cause hes a nice guy but i can only deal with this fucking code. Today i stumbled upon a tiny little paragraph (Division 8, section 2 UHX-11.4.2 to be exact i think) that says i have to mark each heat exchanger with a phrase along the lines of "over pressurizing this unit can cause it to fail". I think that itss kind of self explanatory since i already tell people that in 3 other places and very specifically on the nameplate attached to the vessel.

Brian is right about the energy thing. Our society is growing by leaps and bounds, faster than ever before. (i tried to find a world population counter but was unsuccessful in finding one that i could place on this site) Our energy usage has already gone way up and its only going to get worse as we have more people and more demands for it. Seeking out other forms of energy production will be a massive frontier in the next century. (frontier? century? in the same sentence? i must be stoned at this point) I see alternative such as hydro electric as being a very viable option in the near future but as technologies progress, solar and small personal wind turbines are going to be huge! My parents are planning on remodeling our camp and i'm going to try and get a wind turbine in the back area of the property plus some soral panels for hot water running on the roof.

OK enough of this babble, i'm going to throw a lawn chair down in the parking lot and watch the skirts go by.
