Wow, the things we forgot. Toiletpaper, propane, and pants. Who needs pants. Especially if you don't have toiletpaper ;) . No luckily, there were ferns and a great big lake to wash up in around the island.

We made it through a huge lightning and rain storm by building a makeshift shelter out of tarps. The lightning hit the lake.

(e:matthew) came up with the best business idea ever. We will be rich soon. Just wait.

These are the journals I wrote everyday but couldn't send.

I am so crippled without the internet. I was looking at dave's xm radio. It works in the middle of nowhere because it is listening to a satellite. I want to know how xm knows that dave's paid his bill. I asked him if it had a simcard. He said that he didn't have any idea what a sim card was. Oh god, I just want to know how it works right now.

Whenever we go on these trips I end up having so many questions. I think I must ask the internet 1000 questions a day in one form or another.

Not having it seems so cut off.

So we pull over because of an accident in this tiny little town and I think., "hm, I am next to a store, maybe there is internet." and sure enough, the factory default NETGEAR network cam eto the rescue. I wish I had realized this would happen and had brought my laptop.

It won't stop raining and shouldn't stop till the end of our trip. I can't wait for the freakin' taste of buffalo. It sounds so samn tasty.

Tmobile sucks out here. I haven't had cell service since the trip satrted and we got to the adirondacks. I kept writing journal entries but I had no way to send them. I guess you guys will get the stories all at once.

We are some little town in vermont. I just realized that just about everywhere in the USA there are free wirless home and business networks. Like, I knew it before, but here we are in the tiniest little town and there are four. My cell phone hasn't worked the entire time we were in Vermont or in the adirondacks

I'm getting buffer everyday that i move instead of type. (e:matthew) took this great photo of me. He is such a good photographer.



I miss my journal so bad it makes me sick. I wrote a hundred million things I will have to post later because I need to go now.

Wow, I feel like a loser now. Google earth is pretty much my dream application. As I mentioned about a year ago [inlink]paul,952[/inlink], I used to love keyhole's earth browser software that google bought. I thought, oh google is just going to buy it and re brand it, but it seems that they majorly improved upon it by adding a connection to their search engine. It makes gogole maps seems pathetic.

You will need a pretty modern computer to get it running but once you do you will need a whole day to explore the world from Buffalo to Tokyo. You can fly from everywhere to everywhere and find tons of added user data, map data, driving directions, food search, topography, satellite images and best of terrain and build structures. Even buffalo's buildings are completely 3d modeled.

Here is where the taste of Buffalo will be tomorrow. I will definately be there but someone else is going to have to send cell phone pics because mine are still in quarantine.



You can even leave way points on the map and with the google plus version you can add polygons, use your gps, and do much more. Now I want it.

Just before vacation this came out and I couldn't play with it becausee they had stopped the download for some reason. Now it is back up and free as ever.
