RETRO LAN Party

Looks like Jake and his brother had a mini Retro Lan party and enjoyed it. I was wondering If we should all get together and set a larger one up.
GAMES;
Unreal Tournament II (loved this one)
Original DOOM (if we can get this one together and working)

Then nice thing about this is just about any computer can play it so there is no need for the latest and greatest in hardware.
Post your comments on other games to be played.

Sparks Lake

I am testing the ability to post photos on this blog, this is my first time posting on here. This photo was taken from Sparks Lake just a few days ago, the lake looks good right now. This is quite a famous place to take a photo of the lake. Some old Bank of America checks I had from the 90s had this image on the background of their checks.

I also tooks photos along the Green Lakes trailhead and Todd Lake

Economic Links

With the economy going down the tubes it helps to have websites that have an idea what is going on. The mainstream media keeps saying nothing is wrong or things will get better. But time and time again they are proven wrong.

These sites get very technical

Understanding the way the economy works is key to understading why wars start, trade agreements are made, prices go up in products and many other happenings in the world in my opinion.

The Rides

Here are a few snapshots of the rides.
