To actually say that this was a Fourth of July trip is truthful, even if the fireworks show occurs on the night of the 3rd of July.  The show was, as last year, incredible.  It lasted about 35 - 40 minutes long, and included a full-afterburner fly-by of a B1 Bomber.  Here's a quick rundown of the trip:

There's something magical about a budding new relationship.  Some people can go their entire life and not ever experience it.  Some people can loose an entire afternoon reminiscing back to their lost days of love.  Often, people long for the addiction of a new love's flame.  They toss from relationship to relationship hoping to never let that feeling disappear.

In Billings, things are a bit different. 

We were out enjoying a perfect evening out.  Leisurely cruising the town, windows rolled down, the cool autumn air licking through our hair.  Nothing could have been better.  The town was mostly empty, as the hot summer nights have diminished, and people were starting to get that cramped-up feeling shunning the out doors.   

I have a new Web Cam Montage feature.  This will allow you to see live streams of all the cams in one window. 

I've also enabled BIGGER image grabs.  Also, I've moved the cams around a bit, and I think that the new layout is great. 

Losta stuff going on with them.

For a short period of time, I worked in a large retail establishment known for selling overpriced consumer electronics.  In this establishment, I worked amongst a set of computer geeks repairing computers.  I came in one day in mid-November to hear a co-worker uttering the phrase "...and that's when he shot it."  Of course, intrigued by the story, I asked "shot what?" 

Every sport has their fans, and those fans act differently than each other.  You'll never see a Tennis fan jump up and yell something idiotic to the 'other' player.  You'll never see a bunch of guys half naked that spell 'Pittsburgh RulZ' standing in the crowd at a Marathon.  My point is that every sport fan has a different way to express him or herself at a game.  Sports enthusiasts boast of the 'home team advantage'.  That advantage coming in small part from playing at home, on familiar ground.  For the most part, however, it is the fans that help to drive their home team to victory.  They cheer, they taunt, they stand, they wince, they boo.  In all, they help give confidence to their team.

Unless you live in Philadelphia.
