StumbleUpon Says Goodbye to Direct Links →
When StumbleUpon did its big rebranding, reorganizing and redesign late last year, we figured that the 20-million-plus discovering engine was done making big changes. At least, for a little while. Boy were we wrong.
The newest SU update removes all direct links. Previously, once you were inside StumbleUpon, you could “X” out the page and go straight to the original site. Now if...

How to Forecast Weather |
via marisys.com I golf, so it is important that I learn how to read weather. i found this to be a pretty helpful way of “old school” weather forecasting. I found this because I am on the net..instead of golfing…because it is SNOWING! And yes, all the signs were there ;-) Posted via web from Dynamic-Polarity | Comment »

Some Brilliant Marketing
This is one of the most brilliant ad campaigns I have ever seen. Severe poking fun at themselves, and I think highly effective. I saw this on TV and had to hunt it down on Youtube While I was searching, I found this one: (There is a whole series about the woman and her “friend”) And one that I think any man can relate to Posted via email from...

Long and Winding Roads
I have a penchant for twisty, crazy, insane roads. If it is a scenic route, I’m driving it. If it’s a mountain pass, I’m driving it. I have done some phenomenal drives this year…the Great Ocean Road in Australia, the Milford Road in New Zealand and some detours there too that ended up being pretty hairy. Loved it! ;-) I did some very amazing drives on this last trip as...
Fast Food In the Fast Lane
One of the special issues of life on the road is gassing up. I’m not talking about the car. Actually that is a special issue too, they do things differently in America. But, gas is gas.But fueling up the body? There is an infinite variety of choices.
There’s the “I don’t really feel like stopping” kind of meals. There’s the “Man, I need a break from driving” meals. There’s the “Gimme an espresso...

Not as the Crow Flies
I had a most incredible day today. In my usual manner, I planned one thing, and ended up doing something completely different. Never in one day have I had my breath taken away so many times, in so many different ways. I veered of the interstate, because I saw a twisty windy scenic route ( as I am wont to do). It was a most beautiful drive, and I ended up in Zion National Park. I then witnessed...

A Code for the Road
I was going to call this “Road Rules”, which works for me, because I have an awful alliteration affliction. Then, I thought about it, and realized, well, I’m just not that good with rules. So, I guess the code that I travel by is a personal code, they are things that I have found work for me when I am roadtrips. Now, I could make a big list of the things I do on the road, but...
Sometimes the Universe Collides over Your Head.
In the post before, I explained to you about my desert dance, and what it means to me. I told you there was another story, and I want to share it with you as well.Sometimes, the Universe collides over your head. I guess it is trying to send you a message.These events happen that hammer home what it is you need to learn, or to to feel. The year I went to Las Vegas and learned how to do my desert...
Dancing in the Desert
I am going to tell you today about dancing in the desert, and what that means to me. I mention this often, and it do it often, and I thought I would share it with you.I have been going to Las Vegas for over 30 years now. Now, many people question my sanity to do so, although that is probably not the only reason for their doubt ;-) The allure of Las Vegas for me is not the bright lights, or the...
Wise Words
…by realizing that your entire life journey ultimately consists
of the step you are taking at this moment. There is always
only this one step, and so you give it your fullest attention.
This doesn’t mean you don’t know where you are going, it just
means this step is primary, the destination secondary. And
what you encounter at your destination once you get there
depends on the quality of this...
A Love/Hate Relationship with my Garmin
Oh, ya baby, I am a gadget gal!Throw some tech at me, show me a new toy, and I’m all over it. I even read the manuals. I know, weird.Yup, a confirmed geekette. And damned proud of it. Now, I know that there are low tech ways of doing things, and they often have their own joys about them. Take maps for example. Maps are beautiful. I can pour over atlases for hours, examine cartography from years...
I Have Given My Car Her Name
I’ve had my car for a few years now, and I realized I hadn’t given her a name yet.I guess I just couldn’t figure out a suitable name. But I have now dubbed her the TechMobile.It’s the perfect moniker, and the explanation why I blow through so many batteries. I’ve got an adapter that fits into the cigarette lighter, which has four plugs on it, and I use every one of...
I Fought the Law
And walked away Scot-free.. I told you earlier the story about my adventures with a rental car in Vancouver, and how I pulled a U-Turn on one of the busiest streets, in rush hour no less. That reminded me of a story that happened last year when i was road-tripping in Phoenix, Arizona. Oh man…it was a close one!
I am awfully glad I left the Garmin at home that day…and the radar detector….cause...

One Hell of a day
That’s all I can say. I drove from Sedona to Las Vegas, a drive that is about 4 and 51 minutes if you take the interstate. But That’s not how I roll…at all. Let’s put it this way…I drove through a snow covered mountain pass. Then I took a little detour…120 miles or so, to drop by the Grand Canyon, even though I am going there next week, because, it snowed. Can’t pass up...

A License To Thrill
There’s something liberating about driving when you have a foreign license plate. It announces to the world that you are a tourist, and don’t know where the hell you are, or where you are going, and are ignorant of the local rules. This can be used to great advantage. U turns come to mind. Since I insist on ignoring it most of the time on my meanderings, my Garmin often commands me,...
My Accent
Apparently I have an accent. I never knew. ;-)
I find it ironic….anywhere I go in the States, I hear a huge variety of “American accents” I hear voices from all over the place…Southern, Midwestern, Eastern….but to Americans, that is an American accent. Here’s a sentence that really gave me a away. Hey, I am on a root (route) that is pretty leezurly..doesn’t have much of a skeduoole , I don’t...
Physics and Metaphysics on the Mountain Top
One of the many amazing things that happened today occurred at the top of a mountain. I went for a hike..a long one, and found myself at the top of a mountain here in Sedona, one that is known to be one of more powerful energy vortexes in this epicenter of energy. I met a physicist from Harvard, and we had a most intriguing discussion about the nature of these energy vortexes, how they fit in...
Sedona-Day 5
This was my today.I had a pretty good idea what I was looking for, and am very grateful that I have found it again. I went on several hikes today, and before I knew it, the sun had set.
