Some Facebook fun:
1 – Go to Wikipedia and hit random. The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band. 2 – Go to quotationspage.com and hit random. The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album. 3 – Go to Flickr and click on “explore the last seven days.” Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover. 4 – Use photoshop (I used MS Paint) or similar to put it all together. 5 – Post it with this text in the “caption” and TAG the friends you want to join in.
Mother Nature Attempts Revenge for Dandelion Massacre

Scene of the attempted homocide.
Visalia, CA – Mother Nature, in a blatant act of revenge, attempted to commit homocide* this afternoon. Using one of the most pervasive tools at her disposal, gravity, the suspect, generally considered a loving, benign caretaker of all things natural, tried to revenge herself for the recent actions of a local resident, Jim Reeves, 53.
On March 19, 2010, this website published an expose, written by Reeves, about Mother Nature, revealing a heretofore secret about the favoritism shown by her towards one particular member of her menagerie.
Yes, the dandelion. That expose, and recent attempts by the victim to remove them from his front yard, resulted in today’s attempt at homocide*. While the intended victim was on a ladder cleaning debris from rain gutters, Mother Nature increased friction between the ladder steps and his boots, and caused a sudden surge in the gravity field just beneath him. While the attempt caught the intended victim off guard, a quick and graceful (well, not graceful, but let’s not argue with success) cat-like mid-air twist resulted in a safe landing feet first on the sidewalk. The attack was thwarted by the quick reactions and general he-man-ness of the modest Visalia resident. “She may try again,” said Reeves, “but she’ll have to do better than that. I may be getting older, but I’m not an old man just yet! I suspect she’ll lay low for a while, but if I know her, she’ll try again. ”
*yes, we know that’s not the correct spelling of homicide. Reeves’ insisted on this spelling. He’s also aware what speaking in the third person means.

25 years old. Before the Internet. Before dispatching. Before Ham Radio-ing. Still in denial, and barely aware of it. Still slinging chicken and burgers. (Same month as Best CheeseBurger in town!) Noticing several things about this picture: Still sleeping on the same waterbed! Still have the CB radio (don’t use it). Still have the table the CB and the shortwave are sitting on. Still have the stereo that’s barely visible (do use it), although that turntable died years ago. Still have the picture that’s on the wall behind me (it’s of the Space Shuttle on the launch pad). The hair on my chest is now thicker than the hair on my head (and the chest hair is not all that much thicker today than then!). I have gained a few pounds in the interim. But only a few. I think that robe may be in the back of my closet somewhere.

Slightly freaky afterthought…
It’s been longer since that picture was taken, than from my birth to that day!

Space Cadet Makes Momentary Appearance

Jim Reeves commentary, geek, Humor, Personal ISS, orbital passes, space cadet, Space Station Leave a comment
It happened again. On Monday the 7th, the Space Shuttle Discovery and the International Space Station flew overhead just after dark. I went outside to watch, expecting only the Space Station, and was jumping up and down (at least internally. I doubt anyone driving by noticed) when I realized I was getting the double lucky view of the shuttle leading the station in the same orbit, just miles apart from each other. The Discovery had undocked from the station earlier that day, and was slowly increasing the distance between it and the orbiting outpost with each moment. Tonight, the shuttle is on the ground, but ISS is still up there, and still gliding majestically across my sky from time to time.

Space Cadet Jimmie made a sudden appearance Monday, and again today. He’s someone I don’t get to visit very often these days, but maybe… just maybe… he’ll come around more often.
