Hey all. For those of you who don't know, my dad and I are hauling a trailer load of stuff from Spokane to Louisiana. I drove to Spokane last Thursday night/Friday morning and spent the day finishing up the last few things that needed to be done (like air in the tires - lubing the trailer axles, etc.)
We headed south from Spokane in pretty decent weather on Saturday, but things got much worse in Idaho. Blowing snow - rutted ice on the road - you name it. It sucked through Southern Utah. We spent a little time sight-seeing, but for the most part we have been tag-team driving. Pops drives the AM shift, I take over after noon. We are about 1700 miles into the trip now, holed up in a hotel in New Mexico. Very tired of driving! Only about 800 miles to go...

Cute dog pics
OK, so I have been transferring data - including my digital pics - over to my new laptop. Here are a few great dog pics I have found along the way.
Tucker and Hunter - showing the flexibility of a bulldog's face.
Thomas' dog Ginger - gnawing on her buddy the bear.

Well, as you may have noticed, I have finally added a few new photos to the blog. This has been mostly a product not only of my general laziness, but of the fact that I have been switching computers for the past couple of months.
Since ArcGIS version 9.2 would not run on Vista I have been stuck using both laptops, but after three agonizing days of ftp download I finally have version 9.3 and I can let the old laptop go on to a new life with my sis. (I'm hoping she will part with her old one, which happens to be my old, old one, so we can have a new "outside" laptop for backyard parties.
It amazes me just how much digital baggage I have accumulated. I now own a computer with a couple hundred gig, two 160 gig external hard drives, and a whopper of a 750 gig external drive. My first computer was an Apple MacIntosh with a 16 megabyte hard drive and a 4 inch screen. Progress...?
