I Have a Question About “Evacuation”

Posted on September 3, 2005 | 3 comments

When they say they are evacuating a city I always assumed (uh oh) that meant they were doing something to get people out. Not just telling them to leave. To me, evacuation means busses and trucks to get people out and (probably) a destination to go to. Am I wrong? Have I watched to many movies?

Get someone to do your “homework” and benefit hurricane relief

Posted on September 2, 2005 | Leave a comment

This is a great thought, in an effort to support Hurricane Relief, Dean says:

For a confirmed donation of $50 to the American Red Cross, I’ll write a 600 word essay on the subject of your choice, with a minimum of two references.

Deanesmay-Donatenow 200I say you’ll be getting a deal for fifty bucks and he’ll post it or e-mail it to you privately. If you don’t read Dean’s World check it out (he blogs from Michigan). He’s “Defending the liberal tradition in history, science, and philosophy” and he talks about normal stuff like TV shows and the like…

The Tori Concert

Posted on September 2, 2005 | Leave a comment

tori amosSo I never got around to saying much about the Tori Amos concert the other night. I ended up getting great tickets, they freed some up a few hours before the show, so I ended up getting in the orchestra section a little on the right (row 4) so it was great. Totally different concert from when she was here in the spring, she played lots of old stuff then and (unfortunately) very little old stuff here.

One of the cooler songs she played was a excellent mix of God and Running Up That Hill, the latter being a Kate Bush song. She also played Starry, Starry Night I have heard her play before and I like it. A few other covers too, but I didn’t know them (I suppose they could have been a new song that I didn’t recognize). (I’m back, I just googled a set list) So here’s what she played, I would have guessed there were more songs, I thought she played close to two hours (at least 90 min). Tori Amos

Posted on September 1, 2005 | 1 comment

CreditmapThree times a year (by law) you can get a Free Credit Report ; that’s once each from each of the credit report companies (Equifax, Transunion and Experian). They’ve been rolling this out by different parts of the country, today marks the day when now the whole country hass free access.

I posted a virtually identical post earlier this year, but since they opened up the rest of the US and I think it’s pretty important that you check and it’s free, I felt it was worth mentioning again.
