Duct Tape Harmony

If anyone needs a three part harmony to do for a Talent? Show, you could try this one. It's easier than Bulbous Bouffant, and much shorter, but still rather amusing. A sound clip can be found here.

Duct Tape, Duct Tape
Oh Where is my Duct Tape?
My old boat is leaking
My window is cracked.
My poor heart is broken
I'll fix it with Duct Tape
Fix it with Duct Tape
Until you come back.


Duct Tape
It's better than glue.
Fixes Stuff
Just like new.
Be prepared
Throughout your life
Keep a roll beneath
Your pillow at night.


Scotch Tape, and Masking Tape
And Electrical Tape.
I Have tried every single color
Each variety and every shape.
I only use Duct Tape
To bind you to me.
Oh where is my Duct Tape
Oh where can it be?

- Lou Nathenson

I started learning to ride a motorcycle yesterday. I'm definitely not a natural, but I don't think it will take too long for me to get it.

I just read an article about new speeding tickets laws in Virginia. They've gotten a lot stiffer, joining Michigan, Texas, New Jersey, and New York in their abusive-driver laws. Here's a rundown of some of their new fees. I would certainly support more of these laws. Too often traffic laws are considered a joke.

$100 x 3 years for 8 points (plus $75 for each point over 8)
$750 x 3 years for DUI
$250 x 3 years for an expired license
$250 x 3 years expired insurance

I went with our church's youth group on a trip to Redding. We went wakeboarding, saw Evan Almighty, went to a water park, played paintball, and a variety of other things. It was fun, but tiring.
