- On Same-Sex Marriage
-
Yes, my gay friends deserve the same chance to end up miserable and tired of it just like me =) But they deserve to have their committed loving relationship share the same legal and social status as everyone else, with the same drawbacks. Can you say term marriage? One year for a start would be ideal I think...

- Road Trip Essentials
-
A list of must-haves for a successful road trip.
1. A car
2. A Destination
3. Gasoline in the car sufficient to reach and return from the destination or funds to refuel as needed.
4. Time.
Anything else is superfluous for successful road trips... Now an enjoyable roadtrip, that's another story.

- On the Radio
-
I don't drive a whole lot anymore. I used to listen to the radio every day that I drove into work. Now, I listen to mp3's on the mp3 player program I wrote (it uses a perl module that interfaces with the windows media player libraries cf: perldoc win32::mediaplayer)
I also listen to mp3's that are linked in my facebook and google+ streams and directly on youtube too. I get a good amount of random new songs that way. =) In addition, there's the clubs in SecondLife(tm) that play music with a live DJ. I prefer the ones that play 70's 80's and 90's music like Blackheart's Cafe.

- The Changing of Seasons
-
I grew up in Montana. We had very definite seasons, there was snowy, there was muddy, there was hot and dusty and there was warm but getting chilly at night.
Here in Arizona it's quite a bit different. I've become so acclimatized that winter here actually feels cold to me (my brother and I once went for a walk with no shoes on at all in January in Montana, no coats, just socks on our feet for several hundred yards down the road) When it drops into the 60's here now i get a jacket and gloves and a knit hat. Camping in the fall, I wear many layers to survive the bitter cold (30 some degrees, warmer than my winter walk on the snow packed road that day with my brother, think that day it was 28 - warm for Montana winters)
Arizona goes from chilly winters (relative to our summers) to blazing hot summers in a matter of weeks. We get those weeks where the nights are mild and we have our windows open and then boom, AC on 24/7 again until October or November and boom, it's cold again. It is rarely green here unless we really get some good spring rains, so there's little change in the foliage, just an increased hum from all the neighbors' AC units.

- Public Transportation

I think it might be a little silly to have public transportation just for my neighborhood. Maybe if they connected our neighborhood to the rest of Peoria it would be useful, but then we have the Valley Metro system for that...
