Sledding at night is fun, but I need to come up with a camera mount for my hat or something. Steering with one hand is rather difficult as you will see in the video.

These People Make the Laws
I just ran across this video (here). A barrel shroud is a safety feature. This woman thinks we should ban/regulate them. Her reasoning will astound you. The clip is under a minute long.

Fire!
After returning from a two week vacation (see "San Fransisco") I have found few things that are equal in their relaxation value as a thousand acre fire threatening your home. Follow me as I guide you in a photo tour of my weekend. All these photos/videos were taken from my grandpa's porch. Only a hundred yards or so from my house.
Doing a little smoking.
Might as well enjoy the air show, right?
I love water, don't you?
A chopper on the way out.
Some folks missing a few marbles. (Click image for a more details.)
A wee bit close for comfort.
I'm not sure if this was comforting or terrifying. (Click to play.)
My brother took this one.
Yet another fly by. (Yippy!)
Later that night.
I took seval hundred more pictures, but these give you the idea.

A Contrast in Concerts
In the last 48 hours I've been to two concerts.
The first was a fund raiser sort of thing, an hour from where I live. There were three bands in attendance: Jason Harris, InAidance and Sam Heart. I got in for half price ($5) for bringing a friend.
I was glad I got the discount. It was just your typical music that can be found at any Sunday morning Church service. there was a little preaching, free cookies and popcorn and lots of volume. The instant InAdence got started, I was out the door.
That's not to say I left the concert. It just means that I could hear the music just fine outside by the ticket table, which is where I listened to them. For having the desire not to cause permanent damage to my ear drums, I was granted the title "Pansy Behind the Plexiglass" by the ticket taker. She seemed truly puzzled by my being outside.
The subsequent band was louder yet. Needless to say, I stayed outside. All in all, I wasn't terribly impressed.
On Sunday, the band Giveway came all the way from Scotland just to play for the Julian Library. Err, well, maybe they were on tour in the area.
Giveway is a Scottish band of four highly talented sisters. They started the performance with a bang and never looked back. It was foot stomping, hand clappingly good music. If there was a still foot in the building (There was seating for 200, and people standing around the edges) I couldn't see it.
Since I've already admitted that Giveway was on tour, I might as well tell you a funny thing that happened. So Giveway is on tour all the way from Scotland, here they are at their final gig, and they have one CD left. That's right, a crowd of over two hundred people, and they only have one disk.
At the intermission, there was maybe a half second before that lone album had vanished like smoke. There were a number of people upset that the library that was hosting the event didn't buy it before someone else got to it. Most were mollified by the fact that she (claimed) that she bought it for her branch of the library.
You can listen to some sound samples from their two CDs here and here. Their website is www.givewaymusic.com
