Tribute in Light

Always keep September 11th in your mind… It will serve as the light that will hopefully guide the world out of the darkness of hate, terrorism, and ignorance.

Having grown up within visual range of NYC and having my area of NJ devistated with heavy losses on that grave day, this is an emotional and hard time of the year. I can only hope that others through American and the world take the events of September 11th, 2001 to heart and realize how much of an impact we all have on each other.

After getting back into biking and attaching my GPS to my bike to track my various trips, I was left with one last missing way of viewing the information: seeing the tracks on Google Earth so that I can maintain each route that I’ve taken while biking.

Found via Digg.com, the survival kit (featured on FieldAndStream.com) is packed with necesities and looks like a great thing to have when roaming around in the woods and even the desert. Seeing as how I don’t eat fish (though I may be forced to do so if I were left alone in the woods for a while) and Arizona isn’t exactly the state with the most running water, I’m thinking the fishing gear could probably be left out in favor of more snare wire to create rabbit traps, but that’s just me thinking of ways to modify the kit for a special circumstance. The kit looks like a great start to being prepared when out in the wilderness doing any outside activities.

Check out this kick ass acoustic cover of the Outkast favorite “Hey ya” by an Arizona singer named Mat Weddle from the band Obadiah Parker.
