Just hit the root beer jackpot!

If you didn't know already, I have a rootbeer collection. So far I have 40 different kinds of root beer, ranked from best to worst, sitting on my mantle.

The growth of my collection had stalled for a while. After you have 40 it is kind of had to find new kinds... unless you are driving down HWY 169 and see a sign that says "Minnesota's Largest Candy Store." There is also a sign telling me of their many different kinds of root beer. I couldn't help but go in and check it out.

I had a discussion about my favorites and least favorites with the owner. He told me about his supplier in California and how they have different kinds at different times. I am going to have to keep stopping by from time to time I guess.

I now have 34 new kinds of root beer to taste and rank. My collection almost doubled today. My lips are excited and can hardly wait.

Clark Little is a shorebreak art photographer. He takes pictures of waves from inside and underneath them.


Here are some of my favorites, if you really like them check out his book. Make sure you have someone strong to flip the pages for you though. It is 182 pages, over 100 photographs, 12x12 size, weighing close to 7 pounds.

Today's Theme: Waves - part 1: Tarp Surfing

I am really impressed with how good some of these shots look and how much it looks like a surfing video.


Just ignore the bits with the silhouetted guy talking... those bits are pretty lame, but the rest is interesting.

Forgot to set my alarm last night. Still woke up on time today. Yes!

Grid-It organizer looks pretty cool, might have to try make one...or you could buy me one...

Grid-It is a cool organizer with interwoven elastic straps so you can put your stuff on it in any configuation you want.


It doesn't like it would to too complicated to make something similar. Probably would be touch to make one just as polished... so you should probably just buy me one.
