Yes. I Can Has. The guys from Harrison Paving finished up around 4pm yesterday. The fixed my nasty sinkhole, and resurfaced the whole business. The complete resurfacing cost a little extra, but I had the money, and just look at it…it was worth it! –click for the full size version– I honestly would have been [...]

Last May 21, this site reached 5000 hits (since I put the counter on in, I think, 2004?). This morning, my counter rolled over 10,000.

I had a great time on Monday night, no question. However, being up that late, given how I’ve been sleeping the last week and a half, probably wasn’t the best thing for me. I went to bed early last night, though it was still a chore to pull myself out of bed this morning. One [...]

…but I did get all these neat pictures from Nationals Park! Despite my chosen team’s loss, it was a nice, cheap evening’s entertainment. Tickets, for the record, were five bucks.
