Lesson From a Crazy Man

Anyone who has read my blog knows that I like to take everyday things and find humor in them. Signs have been a frequent source of material for me. This morning I saw an anti-liberal bumper sticker and when I snapped a picture of it as I waited at a stoplight (the vehicle was in front of me), I noticed the driver holding up a pistol. I decided after he began chasing my vehicle, that I would drive to the nearest police station that I knew of. I called 9-1-1 after arriving and verifying the other vehicle was still following me. I had to keep driving as he followed me around the parking lot. Eventually he stopped and got out and was yelling that I took a picture of his vehicle. Finally he drove away and then a police squad arrived and the officer took my information—and apparently they stopped the guy and he has a permit to carry the gun, so since he hadn't actually shot me with it, there wasn't much they could do. The officer asked if I wanted to (try to) press charges and I said, "no, I want him to leave me alone." So the moral of the story is, that there are crazy people with guns and even if you think you are innocently having fun, they are more than ready to pull that gun out and target you.

They should have been able to charge him with making terroristic threats right? But probably just getting as far away from the nutcase as possible is the best bet.

SPRUCE Project

We were lucky enough to be given a tour of the SPRUCE Project in the Chippewa National Forest, North of Grand Rapids, Minnesota. Our tour guide was W. Robert Nettles IV, SPRUCE Project Operations Manager at Oak Ridge National Laboratory . I went into the site fueled primarily by my lifetime of interest in the natural environment; as well as my interest from volunteering as a park ranger in the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. However, by the time I was done, my interest in technology, from over 10 years as an IT professional, was thoroughly peaked! Definitely off the "beaten path," in a spruce bog in Northern Minnesota, this site boasts an incredible array of scientific equipment that is supported by an amazing technological infrastructure! There are control sites and some of the chambers have added heat, carbon dioxide, or both. A lot of equipment and experimental testing goes on 24/7, 365 days per year. These guys know their stuff. The 10 chambers are connected ...
