No Comments » July 16th, 2010 maxlance1 Not one to be outmuscled in the global market, BP has upped the ante on Exxon-Mobil by not just dumping a ship’s worth of oil directly onto seagulls, but has done the favor of directly unleashing the Earth’s supply straight into the water, thus cutting out the middleman of a drunken sailor.

About a six hour drive from Los Angeles. I-15 towards Vegas, route 127, then 178 into the park. Stopped by Badwater Salt Flats, the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere. Then around Artists Palatte (purty rocks) and up to Dante’s View, which looks down on the whole valley. Camped [...]

You could make the argument that studios are so invested in “tentpole” wars that carry on for decades and don’t have discernible starts or finishes, simply for the sake of franchising their wars, that we’ll never [...]

Chandler Boulevard One of the newest bicycle right-of-ways in the city, this stretches across nearly the entire valley floor from one side of boring, ghetto suburbia to the other. There’s not a lot of sun cover, which makes the Chandler path useless from May through October, and you have to stop frequently at intersections, [...]
