Yes, you are looking at the new beansbaxter.com website. I’ve had a difficult time coming up with a solid system for the stream of information I want to generate and share and I think I’ve figured out the best solution, at least for the time being.

I thank my good friend, Jafar, whom scoured the dark and desolate fringes of the dark and infinite abyss for answers to the cryptic mysteries that are within our universe.

T. Boone Pickens is a well-known and legendary Texas oilman, a crusader for shareholder rights, a philanthropist, and a corporate raider. His deep pockets have been used for conservative politicians and causes, and today his official website has gone live – www.pickensplan.com – with his concept called the Pickens Plan.

How do you protect something that exists merely on the basis of faith? Where can we safely put this faith and for how long? Are we putting faith into something we want to believe in or the hope that we can compel the right actions to take place? Can one’s mind and heart turn into an opportunity to establish faith?

My cast is unofficially off. The doctors expect me to continue wearing it until its official removal in a couple weeks, but I have shorted my time into it and my hand continues to heal. My own physical therapy is bringing back the strength and motion that it once had, yet I understand that I will never come close to regaining where I was at before my motorcycle accident.

I am a big fan of Dan Neil, an automobile columnist for the Los Angeles Times, as his humor and observations show an astounding method to keep me reading with enjoyment. I have always loved to read, especially reviews, but he takes it way further. You will catch yourself feeling as if you’re right there, understanding all the better as it makes sense. It wants to make sense too.

My friend, Barry, has been getting better with his video production. He was not a man when he was using Pinnacle, so I like to tell myself thanks for supplying him with Adobe Premiere as he now produces some top notch videos. I am not just saying this, but they are getting better and better!

I just received the call from the hospital scheduler, and I am first in the Operating Room tomorrow morning. I have chosen not to do a local anesthesia instead choosing a regional anesthesia. I guess that involves seven shots in the arm pit to nerve block off everything, and I’ll be awake during the two hour operation.

I took this from my PNW Riders motorcycle site. One of the riders there posted this, and it did bring me quite a few laughs. I’ll just let the story and the humor speak for itself.

I rode back from Colorado Springs, CO back here in one-shot and it was a ride full of everything – too much to get into. I experienced a full adventure on that ride back and it was the craziest, insane, exhausting, longest ride of my life.
