Al Gore is My Pal

Good ole Al. I cant thank him enough for inventing the internet. What a clever guy. So what if he couldn't even carry his own state in the election, which was something like getting herpes from your wife right before she leaves you for the Mexican pool boy. Nothing like having salt rubbed in the wound. But I digress.

Streaming Internet radio has saved my life. Ok, not really but it has sure helped to make the work week more enjoyable. I have lived in three different parts of the USA in the last few years. In Boston, on the gulf coast of Florida and now back in Cow Hampshire. In Boston my radio station of choice was WEEI the great Sports Radio Talk station featuring an eclectic group of fat guys sitting around bitching about the state of sports n New England. In Florida I had Real Radio, another talk station which featured the Monsters of The Midday, a hilarious and edgy talk show that was funny as hell. Though the Monsters rely more on dick and fart joke's they also had some pretty edgy humor, even bordering on racist humor that would never fly up here on the east coast.

So last week I found a great site called http://www.radio-locator.com/ and lo and behold I found both stations are now streaming their shows online. So after picking up a pair of speakers for my work PC I am back in radio heaven. Thanks, Al!

I did a search for the town I am going to in Maine this weekend and it turns out its like 15 minutes from Baxter State Park, the home of Mt. Khatadin, the highest mountain in the park and the end of the famous Appalachian Trail. I have heard much about this famed Mtn. mainly thanks to my cousin Rick's own Appalachian Trail adventure. I wish I would have the time to visit but since my friend is moving there I think later this summer I will get that chance. Unfortunately it is nearly a 6 hour drive. Thank god for my new shiny PSP !! It should help take the edge of the commute.

See ya in Maine! Ayuh.
