I accidentally read a YouTube comment on a Mumford and Sons song. It said this:

i would drag my balls through a mile of broken glass just to hear them fart through a walkie talkie.

I’ve updated my zbooks app to minify the script for version 1.2. I have neither tested nor implemented version 1.2, I hope to do that later in the day.

As long as I didn’t make a typo, everything should work identically to before, with a 99-character savings. Initially it was 1012 chars long, now it’s 913, which is a 9.7% reduction. yay!

Packed up at brushy creek and drove to the Sgt Floyd River Museum where we ate lunch, and Mo and I got our first shot-glasses of the trip. We then proceeded to drive, and I improved my FreeCell score. We stopped for the night at Gavin’s Point Dam. Read more…

We got up “early” and left Don & Joan’s to drive across Iowa to get to South Dakota. Our goal is to get to Gavin Point and spend a few days around South Dakota seeing various national parks etc. We crossed the Mississippi at Rock Island, and went to the visitor center on the Army base there. While we were at the visitor center there, we saw a number of tugboats, barges, and motorboats go through the lock. Read more…

We got up late yesterday at my Great-uncle Don’s place, and bumbled around getting ready for a picnic lunch by the Mississippi. We drove out to the Mississippi and crossed the border into Iowa. We spent most of the day driving along the edges of Ol’ Miss and finding lots of signs saying “Road Closed”. We grilled some hamburgers at a pavilion at a park alongside the muddy river, and spent a lot of time chatting with Don and Joan. When we got back that evening, Phillip, Morgan and I played some cards. Don eventually joined us for some Old Maid, Go Fish, and Sevens. Morgan and I checked our e-mail on Joan’s computer. I had to install Chrome as Joan was using Internet Exploder on a Vista machine that was in desperate need of some setting adjustments.
