(click for footage of the Motion Fire)

This is the ‘Motion Fire’ burning just below Shasta Dam. I think it’s weird how all of these fires in Northern California have names. Motion, Democrat, Lime Complex, Noble, Vista... where do these names come from? Who names these fires? The names don’t necessarily reflect the area that the fires started. Unless, of course, there is a high concentration of Democrats living off of Iron Mountain Road. Given that road’s proximity to a OHV park and a shooting range, I highly doubt this is the case. haha... I jest.

So I threw together a music video for a band called The Myriad. I’m pretty sure there’s been some sort of mix-up because it is debuting tomorrow on a small network called MTV2. We don’t get that channel so let me know how it looks. Better yet, if you TiVo it, I’ll bring you ice cream.

This is the pond that gave me the parasitic swimmer's itch. Kudos to Inhouse Marketing for the design work.

This bag of chips has been circulating the Lance family since the mid '70's. It is not gifted lightly. Cassie had to graduate from Standford Yale University to receive the prestigious award. Way to go Casserole!
