Megan and I went on a trip down the Conestoga Creek in Lancaster County. Shanks Mare Outfitters organized the trip and provided shuttle service and a great lunch. It was a bit chilly, but we all stayed warm and dry and had a great time paddling through beautiful countryside.

I managed to get out on Lake Williams around 8:00 this morning. I was the only boat on the water. The leaves have begun to turn to their Autumn colors and it was wonderfully peaceful.
Jon Stewart, to the surprise of nobody, did a bit about the government shutdown issue, placing blame squarely where it’s deserved.
Making 100% valid points along the way (including a great capper at the end), Stewart shows a clip from the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory with a message to House Republicans from a small business owner.
The message is appropriate, but if you carry the reference too far, it would probably be better if the Republicans suffered the fate of Augustus Gloop, something that happened near the beginning of the chocolate factory tour, ensuring Augustus would not be causing trouble when matters of golden eggs and technology were in play.
Stewart backs it up with perfect driving and football analogies, though, so it’s all good.
I shot this demo video of my sister’s horse, Music, so prospective buyers could see him in action.
Shot with a Kodak Playsport and Kodak Zi8 and edited with Adobe Premiere Elements.
While I try to avoid using sarcasm in anything serious that I write, this (which I first saw on Facebook… I didn’t write it) is an appropriate use. Ha!
I’ve heard equality-opponents make arguments against some of these points and it’s always amusing to watch a bigot try to justify their beliefs.
“Homosexual behavior is a choice!” (#2)
“Studies show that children do better with a mother and a father!” (#9)
“What about polygamy!?” (#3)
…and of course…

Camping out by the pond at my sister’s farm.
POV video from the back of an eagle flying through a mountain range near Chamonix, France. Wow.
While kayaking yesterday, my neighbor Jay and I decided that the designer of Half-Life 2 spent a lot of time around hydro-electric power plants.
(wtf)
I just saw this store under construction at a local shopping center.
It’s not open yet, but it will be so great when you can buy Christians! I had no idea that was even a thing!
