8. THE GRAND FINALE!!! Last summer, down on Lake Isabella, located in the high desert, an hour east of Bakersfield, CA, some folks, new to boating, were having a problem. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t get their brand new 22 foot boat, going. It was very sluggish in almost every maneuver, no matter how much power they applied. After about an hour of trying to make it go, they putted into a nearby marina, thinking someone there may be able to tell them what was wrong. A thorough topside check revealed everything in perfect working condition The engine ran fine, the out-drive went up and down, and the propeller was the correct size and pitch. So, one of the marina guys jumped in the water to check underneath. He came up choking on water,he was laughing so hard.NOW REMEMBER…THIS IS TRUE. Under the boat, still strapped securely in place, was the trailer!

I have to admit… I am addicted. I have every game piece but all the rares (for each color there is one rare). Me and my roommates have been going at least once per day. Plus I have TONS of duplicates. One cool thing though is each game piece has a code that you enter online and it’s like another game (it’s still monopoly, just online). So far I have won one free download (monopoly 
from real arcade. I will let you guys know when I get my 50 thousand.
Today there was an article in the New York Times about this guy, and told his story. I really found it interesting yet strange that someone would devote thier live to living alone in the middle of nowhere. In the article is a link to his website, where there is an AMAZING gallery of pictures.
ON SADDLEBACK MOUNTAIN, Calif. — Walk into Mike Gates’s summer home here and the first thing you notice — the only thing you could possibly notice —is the view. The job isn’t for everyone, but searching for fires from a perch a mile high suits Mike Gates and his frequent visitor, Prairie Rose, who fell in love with him on this very spot. With a wraparound vista broken only by the occasional hummingbird, Mr. Gates has 25-mile visibility on a decent day and more than twice that on a superlative one. The sunrises are pretty enough to make the cold worthwhile, and the sunsets would make a vampire sad to see the day go. But Mr. Gates doesn’t really come to the top of Saddleback Mountain — at the corner of 6,698 feet and the middle of nowhere —to look at the horizon or the hummingbirds, at the sunrise or the sunset. He comes to look for smoke. For the last 21 years, Mr. Gates has been a fire lookout, a sky-high sentry at the front line in the battle against wildfires, which have burned more than five million drought-parched acres around the country this year. Armed with four pairs of binoculars, he spends almost every waking hour prowling a narrow catwalk outside his 14-foot-square shack, scanning the day — and night — for nature’s surest sign that something is ablaze.
I guess you have to have some sort of hobby while sitting there watching for fires, so he has photography. You definitely need to go check out his site, there are some amazing pictures there! http://www.pbase.com/pygmyhippo
