This post is for people who have good spending discipline and do not have credit card debt. The idea for this post came about after I got a letter in the mail from one of my credit cards informing me that they no longer issued credit cards to the state I live in (Utah), and …

My Parking Lot Rant
I’ve been saving up for this one for a while, and I’ve decided to let it be known. While I realize that me writing this won’t change the world (I’m not that important), its just a good way for me to air my grievances. My wife thinks its a healthy way for me to let out my frustrations. …

Last night there was a Continental Airlines airplane flight 1404 that skidded off the runway at Denver International Airport (DIA). No one was killed and all the injuries were minor. One trauma red from what I hear, the rest …

Starting earlier this year they opened up their applications for entry level firefighter. I tried to get on with this department when I first moved …
Interesting calls
Well the week started out kind of different. Its nice to get some variety as my job is boring me to death. My regular partner wasn’t able to get into work for the first day of the week as he was stuck at an airport from bad weather. So that left me without a partner …
Google Chrome
Today, Google announced that they have taken their web browser, Chrome, out of Beta. I know there are concerns about privacy and whatnot, but I still really like Chrome. It has been my default browser for a while now. Its much faster to load the program and then to load pages than the other browsers …
