Name Game
We think we have decided on a name.
Dylan Jacob
We like it, but are not 100% certain it will not change.

Two Good Reasons
Well, once again it has been awhile, and here are two good reasons to type. The Mariners finally won a game, although it took a squeeze bunt in the top of the 10th inning, and a basesloaded double play in the bottom half, they won. Second, Ken Griffey Jr. hit his 600th home run. I can honestly say I have been a fan of his for all six hundred. When my best friend John Engelbrecht came back from M's spring training in 1989 with a Junior signed Donruss Rated Rookie card, we were both hooked. He was only 8 years older than we were!
As for the pregnancy adventure, we have somewhere around 85 days to go. I personally am so excited I can't believe it, and Becky is finally doing well enough to show excitement (without getting ill). We can see the end of the tunnel, its getting bigger every day.
The Washington weather is really inraging. I have taken to calling this month June-u-ary, as the temps and rain have the fall/winter feel. We actually had some thunder and lightning tonight, maybe the 4th time since we moved to WA 5 years ago.
Barry vs. McCain...all the hoopla, all the marbles...who the heck cares. One will raise taxes, and advance the US toward Socialism/Marxism, one will probably do those things.

What does "Natural" mean?
Well it has been a while since I have posted, but this article today made me. I know no one else really cares about my Global Warming obsession, but I have to spout out my absolute frustration on the topic today.
I read this article
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601124&sid=aU.evtnk6DPo&refer=home#
and it made me want to throw someone through a window. Look at the first paragraph "Parts of North America and Europe may cool naturally over the next decade, as shifting ocean currents temporarily blunt the global-warming effect caused by mankind, Germany's Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences said. "
You mean there are naturally occuring changes that happen to the Earth's temps? Even with the human induced Global Warming brought on by us spouting CO2 into the atmosphere like a whale with hiccups? I have a folder of all the GW articles I have read in the last 5 years, and this one is the most damaging to the "consensus" ever. Granted many will argue the researchers behind the paper was paid for by "big oil", but on this one, "Big Green" took one in the snargglies. It is time the "Green Bubble" begins to burst!!!
