Dreamt I Went Fishing, Among Other Things

Ok, another fast and dirty catch up blog post. I would apologize (again), but perhaps these are actually more interesting than more focused posts. ;-)

I've had some amusing dreams in the last week or two. Fishing, swimming, catching up with old friends. I've enjoyed them, and the residual strangeness they leave life coated in for a while.

A while back I discovered the Google maps directory. Well, I had some, ahem ... help discovering it. But it's cool none-the-less. Basically, go to Google Maps and click the tab that says "My Maps" (just below the logo), then, just below that same tab, click "Browse the directory". Wallah! A toy-box full of cool maps to play with. I found some that show recent earthquakes, gas prices, distances, and hiking and biking trails.  The one below shows parts of the Bay Area that will be under water if sea levels rise 3ft.



From a ranting angle: Don't you important people have better things to do?!  Isn't that how you got to be important? If important people get to be that way by wasting their time on petty things like banning fake testicles on vehicles, sign me up; I waste my time on all kinds of silly things. Everybody has to have a purpose I suppose, but seriously, you would think the people who are supposed to be looking out for us would choose... constructive ones.
