Wednesday, Jun. 25, 2003 - 8:50 p.m. Brakes are fixed, but at what cost?�.plus, a couple of edited photos�. $565.37 That was the astronomical cost to get my brakes up to snuff today. The guy who worked on them told me, �Man, those brakes were totally unsafe? You didn�t even have anything left to your back shoes but rivets! That�s what warped your front rotor- they got hot, trying to stop your truck all by themselves! You are lucky you didn�t get in a wreck!� Yeah, I know, man�. I knew they were bad, but figured that they would do until I wanted to drop a big chunk of cash on them. Like $565.37��. I bout hit my head on the dash the first time I hit the brakes tonight. I knew they would be tighter, but didn�t know how much tighter. Hey, all of our trucks at the NDDOT are so old, and in such sad shape I am use to having to stomp the pedal to the floor anyway�.. An auction house sold the ball that Barry Bonds hit out of Candlestick (ne: Pac Ball Ballpark) to break Mark McGuire�s single season home run record tonight on ESPN. They had been saying all week that it would go for at least 1 million dollars. McGuire�s ball sold for $2.7 million back in 1998, but the market was different then. Oh yeah- and Barry Bond is about as lovable as an angry rottweiler. That is the big reason, I feel. Who would want to pay that much money for something that is connected to such a sour man? Todd McFarland, that�s who. McFarland is the creator of the �Spawn� comic books, and seems to have a lot of pocket money to spend. I think he also won the McGuire ball, along with the ball that Sammy Sosa hit for his 66th (and final) home run the same season McGuire set the old record. I guess this makes McFarland the owner of the richest balls in America, eh ;) I spent about 3 hours, cropping and editing all of the photos I have shot in the past month or so. I plan on burning them onto cds as soon as I post this entry. Until then, I have a couple for y�all�� This is a shot that Shawon asked me to take. He called it �My car, as a coaster�.....Beer bottles , a Diet Rite, and children's paper party cups, all finding their final resting place on the roof of a 1994 Pontiac.... This last shot was taken of a couple of the small children at Riley�s 1st birthday party. They had a lot of fun playing with soap bubbles, and I thought this one looked nice, edited in sepia tone: It appears we are about to get slammed by Thor, God of Thunder! Looks like some much-needed rain will come along with him. Figures�.I finished hand- watering the home garden tonight after work (in 94� heat and humidity, I might add). Later, all�����.
