Unexpected Sunrise

On the way to work I stopped to take a few photos.

Hot attic, even hotter fan

Sooooo, I go to my moms to get some things out the attic. Since it's HOT I turn on the little oscillating fan right at the top of the stairs and drag some items down. After taking a little break I proceed to lower the attic stairs again when my mom said something like, "Oh no." I look up and see that the fan is on fire. While she goes to get a fire extinguisher I get in the attic and make sure noting near it can catch. With two short sprays with the extinguisher it was out and I brought it outside just in case it wanted to start up again.

I'm going to have to look for the warranty papers on it and see if I can return it since it's only like 30 years old.

Bald Eagle along Mississippi River

I was lucky to get this shot. Soon after taking it and trying to move closer it flew away behind some trees.

Super Moon

So I went outside to view the "Super Moon" tonight and got eaten up by mosquitoes. I hate those things.

Anyway here are a few shots of the moon.

Power Hungry Ipower.com

I'm in the process of moving my blog from my old hosting service ipower.com to Blogger. I've been getting notices from ipower that I'm using "more than average space" and "more than average bandwidth". This is funny since they are supposed to offer UNLIMITED space and bandwidth. Well, I'm up for renewal soon and I figure they don't want any customers even if they don't blog often. The shame of businesses like this.
