Stuff about Dave Kabal.
I was given an option for a generic version of amoxicillin (the one i had been prescribed). This means that the map pharmacy can verify your insurance and prescription before selling you the medicine. The most common side effects include nausea, vomiting, weakness, diarrhea, and rash.
Amoxicillin is the generic name of the antibiotic antibiotic tetracycline (also commonly known by other brand names such as clopidogrel, roxicl, and amoxic), and is a white or light yellow crystalline powder with the molecular formula c14h10n3o6. The pharmacy then nizoral gave me a prescription to be filled at the doctor's office. Its natural habitats are open seas, shallow seas, and estuaries.

Boulder’s upscale Safeway
Only in Boulder, they’ve redone the Safeway on the corner of Iris and 28th. It’s now a high-end grocery store, complete with a flower/garden section, sushi bar and kitchen demo area. It’s really quite nice.

Lefthand Canyon Fire
It’s gonna be a tough fire season (“frequent fire miles”, anyone). We had a 6 acre fire right across the canyon from our house. Our cats and my backup disk evacuated for several hours
This was backbreaking work, digging scratch line uphill on a steep slope and then cup trenches downhill on the other side, once we’d built line. It’s a good thing I didn’t go for a run first.
The fire broke out in the afternoon in the shooting range on BLM land, reportedly caused by tracer ammunition (yes, we were cutting line around hundreds of thousands of rounds, no doubt some of which was not spent).
Here’s some of the news reports (apparently I made KUSA NBC 9 news, if so, I’m going to owe some icecream, our traditional punishment if we’re caught on camera or in print):

Sunshine Canyon Fire
At about a quarter to one in the afternoon on March 1, I got a rather disturbing page on my BMFPD pagers. The page started out (I paraphrase) “wildfire fire in sunshine canyon” and rapidly escalated to “wildfire jumped the road” and “wildfire out of control, wind from all directions”. Pretty scary stuff. I rushed off (trunk open) from Longmont to Boulder Mountain Station 2, and Tom Akins and I took 4344 (a tender) to Sunshine Command (run by by old roommate, Steve Stratton). Our job was to draught the cistern, filling all trucks as they ran out of water. It doesn’t sound so exciting, but Sunshine has no hydrants, so water operations are critical to fighting a fire.
Every news organization and their brother showed up (satellite uplinks at Poorman staging), and our truck was about 100ft west of the fire’s point of ignition. Our truck is probably in some of the aerial shots from at least two hovering news choppers. This was also the first time on a fire scene I’ve seen the new “wildfire aware” reporters, who are required to wear wildland nomex. The City of Boulder reported that “Boulder Wildland” was one of the responding agencies, I think this was actually us, Boulder Mountain.
Fortunately, I even made it back home to attend a conference call, if a bit late.
Here’s some news story links (blue hats are Boulder Mountain Fire):

One-way mirrored windows
I applied an 85% reflective mirror film on my downstairs windows for privacy (don’t need to shut blinds or curtains anymore). It turns out this is relatively easy to get professional results (takes about 5 minutes per windows once you get the hang of it). I bought the film online at Concord Window Films.
Here’s a before picture:

The Wilhelm Scream
http://www.onthemedia.org/2009/dec/25/the-wilhelm/
Interesting NPR bit on the Wilhelm scream, one of the most famous movie screams of all time. I like the fact they even used it in a musical…
Must be something draconian, because I can’t seem to find a decent price online for the Oakleys I want to buy. Is Oakley price-controlling online e-tailers? (or sueing e-tailers who sell “below” MSRP.
I’ve been wearing Bolle’s for sometime, and I’ve managed to consistently find prices less than half of list through some intelligent froogling.
At any point in time, I maintain an up-to-date wishlist on my website, mainly for my wife’s benefit. This way, not only does she know the gadgets (down to the model number), but where I think she should buy it for me if she gets the urge.
A while ago, she stopped trying to guess at what gadgets I’d really want, because everytime she bought me something, I’d inevitably ask her to take it back….
