What happens when you take Robert Frost's poem,
The Road Not Taken, and run it through
Translation Party? You get sweet, sweet Engrish!
I present to you,
Highway shooting by ROBATOFUROSUTO:
The two branches of one tree is the yellow color of the road,
I'm sorry I can not travel
And a single traveler, I have long standing
I only saw up and down a single
In the bushes, bending;Then, in this way, it took another,
Probably superior to that,
The grass was covered with clothing;
However, it is passed
Was similar to the actual wear. Morning and put the same
The light is still a step in the black.
Oh, I'm the first to hold the path by!
How will I know how to lead,
I need to come back if I have questions.My problem is with a sigh
Age of this period:
I'm one of the branches of a tree in a single console, I think the console --
I travel most of the shooting,
There are all different.

Hey folks, I've got a bunch of cool books to give away again. This time, though, I want to raise some more money for Light The Night, a cancer awareness event and fundraiser.
Here's how it works:
- Choose a book you want from the list below.
- E-mail me at thomas [AT] hochmann [DOT] org or DM me on Twitter and tell me which book you want -- first come, first served!
- If I tell you the book is still available, then please donate $5 or more to Light The Night. If you want more than one book, please donate at least $5 per book.
- Once I see your donation (it's usually instant), I'll mail off the book of your choice and I will pay the postage.
Your entire donation goes directly to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I will pay for the postage out of my own pocket. You get a book, and the world moves another step closer towards curing blood cancers -- it's a win-win!
The books I've got available this time, in alphabetical order by title:
- Buddhism is Not What You Think by Steve Hagen -- spirituality/religion book. Very good condition.
- The Jewel Ornament of Liberation by Sgam Po Pa -- Tibetan Buddhism book. Fair condition.
- The Paranoia Switch by Martha Stout -- psychology book. Very good condition
- The Path to Enlightenment by H.H. The Dalai Lama -- spirituality/religion book. Good condition.
- Peace is Every Step by Thich Nhat Hanh -- spirituality/religion book. Good condition.
- The Power of NOW by Eckhart Tolle -- spirituality/philosophy book. Good condition.
- Sourcebook in Indian Philosophy by Radhakrishnan and Moore -- philosophy book. Very good condition.
- The Zen Environment by Marian Mountain -- spirituality book. Good condition.
- 1984 by George Orwell -- novel. Very good condition.
Important notes:
- You should check with me before you donate, to make sure you get the book you want. If you donate and then e-mail me, and you find out the book is already gone, I can't do anything to help except offer you another book!
- Your donation to Light The Night must be made online through my fundraising page. Otherwise, I can't verify the donation.
- This is first come, first served. Whoever contacts me about a book first will be the one who gets it.
- I send all books by Media Mail through USPS. If you want something faster or if you want a tracking number, we'll have to work out something different (possibly a bigger donation).
- I will only mail within the U.S. I won't mail to Canada, Mexico, or any other country. I also won't mail to APOs or FPOs, sorry.
- No warranty! You're getting a cool book and donating to a good cause -- what else do you want? ;-)
- I have the right to refuse to mail anything to anybody, for any reason or no reason. I probably won't refuse, unless I think you're a Nigerian scammer. But it's still my right! :-P
Any books that aren't claimed by July 31st, I will go ahead and donate those to my local library.

Sad to see that even the relatively small site, NuHabits.com, seems to have spammers building their spamnests in it. I like NuHabits a lot, although it is not exactly my cup of tea. Hopefully this spammer is an isolated incident; but usually where there's smoke, there's spammers...

My old dinosaur of a bicycle, sitting on the bike rack of the newest, shiniest, most comfortablest bus in the ABQ RIDE fleet. :)

As I was waiting for the Rapid Ride today, this helicopter flew overhead and landed right next to the bus stop, at the helipad for Presbyterian Hospital.
