More on gas prices & trip to Maryland

More on gas prices & trip to Maryland October 12th, 2008 It looks like the financial system of the world is crumbling and along with that the price of oil is falling off the wall, but that’s a good thing. There are two problems I see here. The first is that he price at the pump isn’t falling at the same rate that the price of oil is falling. When oil is rising in price, the price at the pump goes up at the same rate. The second problem I see is that we will certainly be paying less at the p

Fan Camping Areas: Enter If You Dare

I swear, I have yet to find a group of fans, or people for that matter, that know how to party and express themselves better then NASCAR fans.  One only needs to take a walk through a camping area at a Cup race to discover this for themselves.  I can promise you it will be an entertaining, and probably educational experience.

TV Off, Funtime On

Once in awhile I get a nice reminder of why we do what we do, and how good life is when it seems to conform to our plans. Like this holiday weekend Up North.

Now that all of us here in the Phillips house have already broken out our fleece, I’m taking it to the next logical step and performing a review of my sweaters sometime today as well.

Tasmanie : Freyssinet National Park

A partir de Bechino, nous sommes allés plus au sud, vers la pointe que constitue le Freyssinet National Park. On a alors entrepris une randonnée sur 2 jours, avec camping dans le parc le soir. Du coup, il a fallu porter tout le matériel, de l’eau et des provisions pour 4 personnes, ce qui fait un poids conséquent à la fin ;o) En tout cas, ça en valait la chandelle vu les paysages sublimes que l’on a pu voir là-bas. Tout paraît sous les tropiques, avec l’eau transparente, le sable blanc. Malheu
