Movember is quickly winding down. I am just a handful of dollars away from $500, so if you have the time, please hit my Movember page and drop a few virtual pennies into my virtual jar.
My Movember Page
***
I went onto Movember to find my page and I entered “Jeremy Baker” into the search. There are two other Jeremy Bakers on this planet growing an ugly moustache for prostate cancer.
They are:
Jeremy Baker from Turner, ACT, Australia. I am not too sure what ‘ACT’ is? Australia Capital Territory?
The dude hasn’t done much with his Movember page… but has raised $100, so good on him.
and,
Jeremy Baker from Wantage, Oxfordshire, England. He is doing a little better than our Aussie cousin and has raised $200!
Wantage is famous for being the birth place of King Alfred the Great!

Zoner Capt. Kirk sent me a startling public service youtube video today.

I went and listened to, then downloaded a couple a Guns & Roses tracks yesterday. At first I hated the record, but DW and David Eleanor swear by it… so I gacve it another spin. I don’t hate it now… but I still don’t like it. Sorta average. The track “Chinese Democracy” is growing on me. Dave says I need to get the song “Better” which is number 3 on the album. He is telling about an insane guitar part that sounds like a xylophone.
Then he told me about this book “Last Exit to Brooklyn.” whoa… I think I’ll need to check it out. He no steered me wrong with his last recommendation, “Night.”
We need a David Eleanor Book club to battle Oprah!

Go with yourself.
Wow, that video was pretty graphic.
A couple weeks ago right in front of the yard I work in an old guy on a bicycle cut across the street with out looking and a guy speeding on his motorcycle hit him. I helped until I was relieved by other first aiders and emergency services. I still think about it a lot.
The funny thing is you think you can handle something like that when you go through 1st aid training, but when it happens…
The old guy was still in pretty rough shape in the hospital last i heard. The guy on the motorbike walked away from it.
Within two days of the accident people were speeding on that road again. Like no one learned a lesson.
crazy… I know what you mean. I discovered ahit and run victim one night.
