LOST Chapters

Hello Space Travelers, despite my best efforts, I have not been able to recover the photos I lost when my hard drive crashed. This means that the end of chapter 8 through chapter 13 will have to be a mystery.

I think that my problem has been that I let this stop me. It stopped me from sharing my story. I've decided to let it go. That is hard. We don't like gaps, and I know that what I experienced was very special on the road home.

I guess it's time for other's to journey too.

Space Travelers, I didn't just come to deliver bad news. I came to say that the journey continues. In the last year, I attended many conferences and even did some extra special travels to see some friends. I am however electing to not write those chapter either. This means that chapters 14 through 18 will also be lost. I chose to make this gap larger so that I could resume in the present. I think that will be more exciting for both you the reader and myself.

I hope you'll forgive me, and I'm hoping to make some exciting new updates in the near future including video posts.

I'm ghost until the next post.

LOST Chapter 8, Verse 6: Socal in Norwash?

Chapter 8, Verse 5: The Future of Flight

Hello Space Travelers, I make good on my promises, and today we learn about the future. Whilst in the greater metropolitan area of Seattle, I decided to visit a museum. The future of flight it was named and I learned a lot. Before I even had a chance to enter the museum I was enamored by the gems of wisdom I could find in the parking lot. This got me thinking: When was the last time I heard a jet in Rolla?

Once inside the museum itself, I had two options, the tour of the Everett plant where they build the new 787 Dreamliner or a lesser museum to see where flight has been. sing some special channels, I managed to arrange to do both. They saw this fit as I was a member of the web press.

As a compromise, I was not able to bring my camera into the plant. The Everett plant is the largest building in the world. While it is only about 6 stories tall, it covers an area greater than several football stadiums. After it's expansion in the 80s the heating an ventilation began creating aperations in the building. That is to say, clouds happened.
After the tour of the future, I went back into the past. I was impressed by the amount of stuff they had acquired, but somehow felt like the museum part was somehow just a promotion of the new Dreamliner.
It was still worth it, and even if the afternoon was spent waiting in lines and being herded around a engineering plant, I felt free. I didn't need a jet noise to liberate myself either.

Questions from readers:

Jake from Missouri says: "When you went up the mountain did you see any places I could snow board?"

Hi Jake, how is Missouri? Hot and depressing? Yes, I saw some places you could snowboard... if you were a badass-ninja-robot-with-no-regaurd-for-safety-drunk-on-power-boarder. If you were to shred that beautiful mountain, you'd probably resurect some mountain demon, and anger the volcano.

Wear a helmet?

Goodnight and goodluck Space Travelers.

Chapter 8, Verse 4: Jack & Jill Went Up The Hill

Hello Space Travelers, like always I'm late with the news on the road trip. It seems mildly odd to some that I'm still keeping to this blog at all. Well in the good spirit of having the last word, I am going to finish the story before I graduate. The odd part will be that while the story of our young handsome hero has stayed the same the prologue has taken an interesting turn.The Washington area is littered with mountains, and by "littered" I mean there are two. Meghan and I decided to venture up a the mountain and have our own mini holiday. I'm kind of an "urbanite," but I found that being in the northwest made me want to exercise my tolerance for mountain air.

The trip was good, and so was the company. It seemed like we could go no higher, but the road seemed to continue forever. The long ride allowed us to have a close time without the interruption of cell phones or the Internet or friends or family or jobs or unemployment or school. We just drove until we ran out of road, and when we ran out of road, we stared down that great mountain, and watched as the clouds opened up and revealed its great mass. We returned to the car and coasted all the way down.

Jack and Jill went up the hill

to fetch a photo or two

Jill took a trip

and replaced her hip

They use to get a table for deux

but Jill found god

so Jack was odd

and now they're both singles moreover

no one's to blame

and they're not ashamed

just bored and lonely and sober

Happy new year space travelers. May 2008 be a year to remember. Remember, get your animals spayed or neutered.
