one of my buddies of several years passed away this past year. Tuffy made it through two state-to-state moves, a divorce, & several chilly winters without complaining. I miss this bird terribly. His buddy, Cheeky, is still with me.
Kingsley was Cheeky's new roommate. Unfortunately, a week ago, Kingsley managed to get out of his shared quarters with Cheeky and was caught by one of my pets. I think he died the same way that Tuffy died, but I don't know for sure. Kingsley was the first parakeet I've ever known to be trustful of people and would not hestitate getting on my finger. I'm not sure if he will be replaced, but I don't know how hard being solo will be for Cheeky. Two losses in a years time - I think I'm more sad than the parakeet.
This is pretty amazing - head over to Made of Japan, wait for the image thumbnails to load, and navigate the 3D sneaker to browse the pictures. If it doesn't make sense, check out the site!
ok, so the RunThere.com site says it was 3.4? something miles, but my Nike+iPod dealy says 3.6. Anyways, I'm posting this because I haven't ran this far in almost 10 years. ...well...the ol shins flaired up on my something fierce so I walked / run. There's a pedestrian bridge that connects both sides of the river. It looks like they converted a train bridge into a user walkway - pretty nice! If anyone wants to check it out, it's located at the end of 5th street.
The game is in beta, but it's a very impressive beta. The graphics are as good as the first Unreal Tournament. And it runs in a flippin' browser! A Shockwave plug-in is required.

Kelly & I use this for mapping out runs around the neighborhood, but it can also be used to see maps of some of the major marathons in the states and a couple other countries.
I like it because it's quick and it uses Google Maps so unless you live in a pretty rural area, you shouldn't have any trouble mapping out a 2 mile run around town.
Plus, it can tell the future. ...ok, no it can't.
