Barry in the "Bonds" of Steroids

Home-run champ Barry Bonds, is a dissapointment to baseball, and the San Fransisco Giants. He has been using drugs to "improove" his play, not thinking of the consequences. He is only a few homers away from breaking Hank Aaron's 755 career home run record.This hall-of-famer was honerable and set the record without the use of drugs. Aaron deserved the record, Bonds would be a shame to the record. I am not Blaming Bonds without knowing his crime, in fact everyone knows of his crime. His head grew a whole hat size, and his shoe size grew about three sizes. My hope is that he won't break the record, and that a more honerable, pure ball player will. Sports officials are considering him as a Hall of Fame nominee. Baseball fan, George Vacca said, "If Pete Rose Wasn't allowed to be Inducted into the hall of fame, why should Bonds?"...."It's pretty obvious the he's been juiced up for a while, if your head grows a whole hat size, you know somthings wrong". Now we just watch and wait.

Diamonds, Heat, and Busted Tires... Oh my!!!

[Flashback to cross-country trip] We woke up in Arkansas and drove to the "Crater of Diamonds". We arrived there regitered and searched for gems... but found nothing. We searched in the heat of the day, it mustv'e been 100 degrees. We left hot and sweaty and drove for hours on the highway, but then ............................................................................................................................ BAM!!!, the rear right tire blew up completely, there was no pop or pinpoint of the blow, it internaly combusted, or that is what I think. We got it replaced, finally after angry drama. we stayed at a Best Western that night and tried to swim, but only lasted for 10 minutes, because it began to strike heat lightning.

THE END [of this entry]

5 Days Left

The Davis family Cross-country trip is near it's end. After visiting 22 states so far we are near the home stretch. In ways it would be nice to extend our vacation, but it's nice to get back home with our pets and city.We have been to the geysers of Yellowstone, the Badlands of Dakota, the big cities of California, and the middle of no where. This trip has opened my eyes to whats out there. There is so much to see and not nearly enought time to see it all.

Global Warming Theory/ Waterworld

The big issue commonly discussed these days is preventing global warming. In the book of Genesis, God promised Noah through a rainbow that he would never destroy the earth by flood ever again. If the polar ice caps were to melt, the world's land would be completely covered. [except possibly Mt. Everest which may stick out the top].
This possibility was portrayed in the movie Waterworld, which I watched the other day in the car. The main plot of the movie is that the ice caps melt, leaving no land and few survivors. The ones that do survive form pacts to search dry land together. This movie was appropriately rated PG-13 for: Violence, Brief nudity, occasional language, some sexuality, and depictions of blood. It was an interesting movie, but may not be appropriate for many viewers.

Hotel Stuff

After our stay with the Best Western Inn, it was awarded 3 1/2 stars. The next night We stayed at the one and only Eldorado Inn, it was descent, not the best [considering their wi-fi was shared with the truck stop next door]. It was old timey and interesting. The breakfast was pretty lame, but the overall star rating was 2 stars.
The next night was spent at the only Woodsman Country Lodge. It had no wi-fi no pool or spa, but it was in Oregon, so there is no signal anyway. How ever, the decor was amazing, the beds were made of stained wood and the coffee was Seattles Best. The overall rating was 2 1/2 stars. The Front Street Inn was the place we stayed at the next night. It was crummy it smelled bad and there was foe wi-fi, and no pool and spa. but there were okay things, the overall rating was 1 1/2 stars.

What do you think? Tell Me.

MN, IA, SD, WY, MT, ID:

The title says it all... six states since my last blog. Minnesota and Iowa weren't must to write about [except for the Miss. River.] South Dakota Was Fun We stopped at a sculpture park, with insane birds that swooped down to attack. The next day we went to 1880's town which was all old time. We were on our way back, when one of the buildings had a mother cat with her newborn litter of kittens. I must say they were adorable. We saw Mt. Rushmore and the Crazy Horse mem. later that evening.
The next morning, we set out for Wyoming [Yellowstone] and arrived there late that night, late enough that Allison and I slept in the car, while mom mumbled all this banter about not being indigenous. The park, anyways, was amazing, the geysers the horse back riding and everything was incredible. Upon leaving this morning, we drove through the grand Teton mountains, and checked into a Best Western Inn which so far looks like a 3 and 1/2 star hotel to me maybe 4. Well good night all!

States Traveled: VA, WV, MD, PA, OH, IN, IL, WI, MN, IA, SD, WY, MT, and ID.

Tell me what you think....

Wisconsin

We are staying at a hotel which i would rate 1 and 1/2 stars, pretty crummy. But Wisconsin is wonderful! we saw this cool rainbow, and it was big and bright. In Chicago previously, we ate the best deep dish pizza. During our travels, we saw 31 different state liscence plates [including ontario]. We've been through 8 states: VA, WV, MD, PA, OH, IN, IL, WI. This morning is another driving day though... cousins, aunt, and uncle, comment me and tell me your thoughts.
