Yesterday I left Vegas early. I was out of town by 7:30 which was great for driving on the holiday weekend. Even though it was early and I was going 80, people were still passing like crazy. There was even cops on the road but they didn't seem to care. I stayed my pace, knowing I would still make it home in less than four hours. Then I saw the Amber Alert signs saying that there was a major wreck at Arlington on the 10. I saw this all down the 10. When I got two miles from the overpass for Arlington, traffic was stopped. Then when I got up closer, I saw it. It looked like the car must have been doing some speed. I found out later that a 2007 Lexus ES350 sedan was traveling westbound around 8:15 a.m. when it left the freeway and crashed into a support pillar of the Arlington Avenue overpass and burst into flames. Witnesses tried to rescue the victims after the crash but the fire was just too intense. The bodies were so badly burned that authorities could not immediately say how many victims there were, but the coroner's office eventually said two men and two women died in the crash.
When I finally got home, I crashed out. I was tired from getting up so early. I didn't even want to leave the house. I ordered a pie from Joe's and went to pick it up. That was the extent of my exercise.
I have been having a little trouble with my SD Card slot on my
EeePC. It seems to be giving a little trouble with bad blocks. I can't be certain it is the slot yet but two cards gave me i/o errors and I don't know if it's just an issue with the Linux. I don't want to see issues with it because I have been keeping my movies that I have been ripping with Handbrake on it. I need the movies for my next trip to New York. Otherwise I will be a little upset having the perfect laptop for flights. I guess I could put the movies on a
USB stick but I like keeping the real estate small.
Tomorrow is the one year anniversary of T.N.T. and it should be awesome. The lineup is Puppet Party and then Sean Conroy &
Dinnah Feinglass, at 9:00pm
Bruckheimer and Last Day of School. At 10pm, Soaring Spirit and Convoy. Should be a fantastic JAM after that too. Show up.
