False Start Writing Tuesday

  • Do not fear the occasional false start, but be prepared to start over.
  • Peppercorn the dog will be traveling this week. Strangely enough I do not like to leave Peppercorn the dog behind during any trip. A portable kennel will be in the back of the car during the trip planned for this week from Colorado to Kansas City. Traveling with a pet can be a fun activity, or traveling with a pet can be a difficult process. Peppercorn the dog actually sleeps in the kennel with the door to the kennel open or closed. During the trip frequent stops will be made to a variety of pet friendly rest stops. As a traveler who rarely stops at rest stops without a pet I was unaware of the actual number of people who travel with a wide variety of pets. Peppercorn the dog is exceptionally friendly. Some dogs just happen to like everyone and enjoy traveling.
  • A few months ago I sat down and wanted to watch an old vacation videotape recording. I quickly realized the companies who produced home camcorders never produced any affordable technology for video tape players beyond VHS. Entire personal libraries of videotapes recorded with technologies like HI8 and Digital 8 can only be played with the original recording device. After learning about this backward compatibility problem the next challenge will involve finding the old camcorders and all the cables the old camcorders need.
  • Joni has granted permission on the current handheld global positioning system acquisition plan. A wide variety of GPS handheld systems exist that provide both mapping and turn by turn driving direction functionality. Right now we are considering getting the Garmin GPSMap 60CSx Handheld GPS Navigator. We looked at the Garmin eTrex Legend/Vista CX Handheld GPS Navigator, but discovered that the Garmin GPSMap 60CSx Handheld GPS Navigator provided better turn by turn driving direction functionality. The research process is far from complete at this point.
  • After converting to the dark side of cooking (scientific based culinary exploration, but not necessarily molecular gastronomy) I decided to buy Alton Brown’s, “I’m just hear for the food 2.0,” cookbook after watching numerous episodes of the Good Eats television show on the Food Network. I knew the dark side of cooking was strong when Amazon suggested buying a infrared thermometer based on browsing preferences.
