I apologize for leaving Meat Loaf here so long. That was something I did during my HTML editing stage. I am not particularly proud of the things I did while I was learning how to HTML but that era has passed. Moving forward, I have a new <a href="http://thicktank33.blogspot.com/2012/05/theres-fever-in-funkhouse-now.html" target="_blank">Ghost Forest</a> episode to document.<br />

To recap, this is a part of the Dunes that we have been visiting regularly since we started dating. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7vliLNFeUhGyHzatabXdeSHiDd8HnciuUjJJqwDCWyRtUVYe7G8BAE2YJ8fCHgZ8WTNpASxM3vJwtrgzASixV2EsQBMa86gfh4SI5iN5Qrefsq0HZ2SdKlRw-fLJSN6mq2xbZlYaI4FQ/s1600/Ghost_forest_2.jpg" target="_blank"> (This picture is from the first time I went out there with Tina). </a></div>
<div>
This year, we are looking for a way to make this destination more than an hour long walk through familiar trails. </div>
<div>
Yesterday's event was the endurance challenge we have been looking for.</div>
<div>
Thanks to smartphone/GPS technology, I was able to chart our route and capture the stats. We walked for just over four hours total, went 8.8 miles up and down hills with elevation that ranged from 446 ft to 840 ft. You can <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5VVm5MgqNswMlJPc0FwNkRqQnc/view?usp=drivesdk" target="_blank">view the route by clicking here. </a> The morning after, my 48 year old knees and feet hurt but my brain is happy. I spent some quality time in the warm sunshine with my best girl. Aside from the minor aches and pains, I have a mild sunburn and a head full of memories. Here are some of the pictures from yesterday.</div>

This is a video about a guy who spends a bunch of money to acquire an old car that used to drive along this part of the dunes. At about 3:08, you can see the familiar hills in the background. <br />

I am learning about contracts in Business Law. Every contract has to begin with an offer. It made me think of this scene.

Just some pictures from last night's outing. The usual stuff- Sometimes the usual stuff can be pretty amazing.<br />
This place is a hidden gem, I rarely see other people here and usually only one other group. This trail has it all- <a href="http://www.nps.gov/slbe/planyourvisit/tweddletreat.htm" target="_blank">interesting history</a>, a fairly easy walk to a great view and a more challenging walk to a spectacular view.<br />
Because I like not seeing other people when I'm out there, I wouldn't ordinarily hand out directions but this blog gets about two visitors a week, usually a spambot in Western Europe. I think it's OK to share. If you are a real person, <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/preview#!q=Treat+Road%2C+Honor%2C+MI&data=!1m4!1m3!1d9086!2d-86.0605032!3d44.7908307!2m1!1e3!4m10!1m9!4m8!1m3!1d157325!2d-86.0612839!3d44.8125575!3m2!1i1366!2i667!4f13.1&fid=7" target="_blank">go to this place</a> and walk until you are filled with awe. Please make sure you leave it the same way you found it so I don't feel like <a href="http://youtu.be/j7OHG7tHrNM" target="_blank">this guy</a>.<br />

In the 70's Led Zeppelin were rock gods complete with their own culture of debauchery. A well documented part of that culture was their escapades with teenage girls. An example of how they flaunted that culture was this song- check out the lyrics below.
Although as a father, this song makes my skin crawl, this is a blistering performance. I am conflicted.<br />
<br />
"Sick Again"<br />
<br />
From the window of your rented limousine, I saw your pretty blue eyes<br />
One day soon you're gonna reach sixteen, Painted lady in the city of lies.<br />
Oh, do you know my name? Do I look the same<br />
You know I'm the one you want. I must be the one you need, yeah<br />
Clutching pages from your teenage dream In the lobby of the Hotel Paradise<br />
Through the circus of the L.A. queens. How fast your learn the downhill side<br />
Oh, do you know my name? Do I look the same<br />
You know I'm the one you want. I must be the one you need,.<br />
Lips like cherries and the brow of a queen, come on, flashin' across your eyes<br />
Said you dug me since you were thirteen,then you giggle as you heave and sigh.<br />
Oh, do you know my name? Do I look the same<br />
You know I'm the one you want. I must be the one you need.<br />
Hours, hours, and the moments in between,<br />
Oh, baby, I couldn't count the times<br />
The fun of comin', oh the pain in leavin',<br />
Baby, dry those silver eyes<br />
Oh, do you know my name? Do I look the same<br />
You know I'm the one you want. I must be the one you need,<br />
Ooh, that's right.Darth Sillioushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14496195870458989715noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885535671233551068.post-76011372656926363042013-05-04T06:34:00.004-04:002013-05-04T06:34:44.885-04:00May the fourth be with you<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have not been gripped with Olympic mania but I do enjoy a good photoshop gag. Apparently this gymnast got photographed with a sour look on her face. This is <a href="http://mckaylaisnotimpressed.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">the latest internet meme</a>. I jumped on the bandwagon.<br />

Last week <a href="http://record-eagle.com/obituaries/x1495164953/Sgt-Justin-M-Hansen" target="_blank">a local Marine</a> lost his life in Afghanistan. Today they brought him back home. The local media had posted the procession route and schedule. I timed an errand so I could stand along the road when the procession passed. <br />
