Day 231 – Girls Soccer Seniors
I’ve been taking sports team photos for Amherst Steele High School this week. In the middle of taking headshots of the seniors on the girls soccer team, the four seniors wanted me to take a quick shot of them together. (I made sure they were okay with me posting this after I took it.)

Day 230 – Palm Pre

Day 226 – Three Lessons of Freedom
In this interview with Reason.tv, the Foundation for Economic Education’s President, Larry Reed, gave three lessons of freedom we are in danger of forgetting: 1. Government can provide you with absolutely nothing except that which it has first taken from somebody else. 2. A government big enough to give you want you want, is big…

Day 225 – “Pre-existing Conditions”
I was thinking about all the nonsense coming out in the health care reform debates about insurance companies denying coverage based on pre-existing conditions. I want to question what will happen if insurance companies can no longer pick who they insure based on this. Before I begin, I want to remind you to put your…

Day 217 – A Beaver on the Vermilion River
I went kayaking on the Vermilion River after dinner today (or should I say half-kayaking and half-hiking?). The Vermilion River is too shallow, at least right now on the part I went on, to easily navigate with a kayak. I had to climb out and carry it around trees and across shallow areas countless times.…
