Volunteered at the Wells Fargo Twilight Criterium July 23, 2005, downtown Boise
“Wells Fargo Twilight Criterium. One of the West's most exciting races, the Wells Fargo Twilight Criterium takes place in the evening in downtown Boise. Some of the best cyclists in the country compete for cash prizes from a $10,000 purse. Spectators line the streets, cheer the cyclists and snap "clickers" provided by Wells Fargo Bank. In 2001, this event was named the third best criterium in the U.S. by VeloNews, a national cycling magazine.”

The Camping Trip at Three Island Crossing near Glenns Ferry, Idaho.
New pictures on The Mobblog, also thinking of switching to Flickr, tell me what you think.
The Space Shuttle Discovery launch was canceled due to a low fuel engine cutoff (ECO) sensor failed to perform properly. This was the first Launch attempt by NASA since the Columbia disaster. This on the heals of Russia putting 10 billion towards a manned mission to Mars. In addition, the 2006 Mission to take pictures of abandoned machinery on the Moon left by earlier Apollo Missions.
Battle Star Gallactica Season 2 Began on the SciFi network. Good Times!!!!
The Bengal Nation message board has moved to the Bengal Den. From Brad Bugger; "It appears our message board has been permanently deleted. When I first started this web site a few years ago, the message board was free. I turned the whole site over to Jared a couple of years ago, and he apparently was paying a fee for the message board. As I noted recently, Jared is or has left town and asked me if I wanted to pay for the message board. I declined. Thanks to all who have participated on the board over the years. --Brad"
