The Old Switcheroo...

I Pre-Ordered my 32Gig iPhone 5 last week and it arrived today.

$320

After dinner I posted my 16 Gig iPhone 4 on Craigslist for $250 at 7:53pm.

At 8:37 I met a guy at McDonalds and sold it

$220

Net cost $100 (and 44 minute)

That's gotta be some sort of record!

Viva la Revolucion!

In-case you did not know, today is National POW MIA Recognition Day

Help Us Father;
Inspire us to remove the obstacles.

Give courage to those who know the truth to speak out.
Grant wisdom to the negotiators,
and compassion to the jailors.

Inspire the media to speak out as loudly
as they have in the past.
Protect those who seek in secret
and help them to succeed.
Show us the tools to do Your will.

Guard and bless those in captivity, their families,
and those who work for their release.
Let them come home soon.
Thank you Father.
Amen.

A New Year brings the same old fears...

I don't have anything super witty and interesting to share with you this week. My mind is on quite a few other things, pending deals at work, getting some things around the house taken care of before my heavy travel season picks up in October, and getting my Butt handed to me by Grant Siphers in Fantasy Football this week... Dang you Andre Johnson... I swear that guy is either the best player or worst player week to week.

I digress... Although I have nothing in particular to write about this week I didn't want a whole week to go by without posting something. So, I saw this photograph this morning and wanted to share it with you. This is a photograph of a Palestinian Child holding what appears to be .45 handgun. This is at a protest in Palestine that is going on right now. The importance of the fact that this is going on right now is that the Israelis are celebrating their new year "Rosh Hashanah" which ushers in the beginning of their Holy Holiday Season. So at a time when they should be celebrating with Family and enjoying their beliefs and faith, they are actually being threatened... by a five year old as it were. I just Pray that some form of rest and resolution can be found over there, it is something that I read about everyday, and that concerns me more and more everyday.

Stan the Ankylosaurus goes to Phoenix..

Stan was sad when he got to Phoenix and saw that it was raining...


...but he was excited to see the scenery...

...he calmed down once he we got to the hotel and saw how nice and comfy it was...

...and he found that the next day was beautiful and sunny...

...but he didn't like the local menu (being an herbivore)....

THE END

Because Rich People Hate to Be Inconvenienced...

In case you don't alraedy know, I travel quite a bit for work. Not as much as some, but definitely more than most. So I was pleasantly surprised by my experience with TSA this morning.

Apparently if you travel a bunch then you get to join this super secret underground society called TSA Pre-Check. I was never told that I had been initiated into this fraternal organization of the cosmopolite travelers of the world, but nonethless the perks of membership were made known to me today!

"Not that line Mr. Evans, you've been cleared for the special line".. Wink wink... As I was ushered further to the left of all of the other passengers awaiting their torturous full-body exrays and the like.

And what awaited me in this super elite, ultra modern, newest of the new security line of the future? Nothing more than a trip back to the 1990's. A quick jaunt through security without having to take my belt off, without having to remove my shoes, without having to take my liquids and personal electronics out of my bag, and most importantly of all... Without a 30 minute long line causing me to question my sanity and other people's ability to comprehend simple tasks that are both presented in writing and simultaneously dictated to them aloud.

So, for you travel NOOBs and normal folk out there who aren't as experienced as I in the ways of the jetways... I hope beyond hope... That you... NEVER have the ability to use this line or you'll just gum it up for the rest of us.

Viva La Revolucion!
