Just because

I had a great weekend. I got to spend time with my wife and Kids and see my family in Provo. They are so busy here at work they didn't seem to miss me.

I had a little time to surf today.....

The very first thing I saw today was an article about '13 Haunted Houses That Will Make You Wet Your Pants'. I think the time has passed when I find it fun to wet my pants -- Well at least until I'm a lot older.

Here's the list if you are interested:
13. Haunted Overload - Exeter, New Hampshire
12. USS Nightmare - New Port, Kentucky
11. Asylum & Hotel Fear - Las Vegas, Nevada
10. Seven Floors of Hell - Cleveland, Ohio
9. Erebus Haunted House - Pontiac, Michigan
8. Shocktoberfest - Reading, Pennsylvania
7. Fright Dome at Circus Circus - Las Vegas, Nevada

Anyway, I noticed that Rocky Point Haunted House made the list. There was an article in the Ogden Standard Examiner about the history of Rocky Point from its beginnings just up the road in Pleasant View to this its final year this year in Salt Lake City.

I'm impressed it made this list!

I forgot to mention that on Saturday night my wife and I went shopping for our youngest son's birthday. While we were out we stopped at Costco. There is the middle of the toy section was the largest darth tater 'I had ever seen'.

Inside were all three Star-tubers Darth, Spud and Potatoo!!!

Now I have checked Artoo-potatoo off my want list I thought I would add another geek item to the list.

This t-shirt is battery powered and shows the current time. Geek-tacular!

299,995,220 - The U.S. government has a website that tracks the number of people in the country this week this clock should turn over to 300,000,000.

I found a follow up from a blog I made before about the 'worlds most dangerous road'. Today I found this site called the 'Road of Death'.

These pictures show the road carved into a cliff.

The road is only really wide enough for one car.

I found another drawing game. This one is called 'Draw Play'.

Draw lines and then maneuver the man to the flag.

I also saw this site about the 'New Scientist Photographic Competition'.

Its been a while since I have posted some street ads.

This is a memorable and creative ad for watches.

Those are some powerful headlights.

That's all for today.
