Yesterday I drove up to Lake City to buy some scuba tanks, turns out that the tanks are metric and are going to prove difficult to hydro. On the other hand they seem like they will work out great for sidemount and at $20 each I still think it was a great deal.

On the way home from Lake City I decided to take some back roads and you know how you sometimes see those memorials on the side of the road where someone died in a car accident. Well, I was passing one that I had probably passed dozens of time before, but this time there was something different. There were fresh flowers and a new cross... and the person's mother was there sitting on the side of the road with her face in her hand crying. I don't know what, but something in me changed when I saw her there and I don't think I'll ever be able to pass one of those memorials without thinking that this is where someones loved one was stolen away from them.

I voted today, it always feels good to vote.

I've got a good April fools joke brewing. I just need to get my hands on a scooter.
