Had something interesting happen today, The power here in the whole park died at 6:05pm PDT, It was a short outage as at 6:26pm or so the power was back on, Someone @ SCE(Edison to everyone else outside of Southern California) must have flipped the wrong switch as I had to call SCE(1-800-655-4555) at 6:07pm telling them that the power to 43 units was out, But everything is back to normal, At least in My place. :D

BOINC Statistics for the World, lists participants from 256 countries.

The Wiki recognizes either 203 or 193, As can be seen here

Wiki wrote:
This is a list of sovereign states, containing 203 entries, giving an overview of states around the world with information on the status and recognition of their sovereignty. For the sake of clarity, it is divided into two parts. The first part lists all 193 widely recognised sovereign states, including all member states of the United Nations and Vatican City. The second part lists states which are de facto sovereign, but which are not widely recognised by other states. Both parts are arranged alphabetically.

Compiling a list such as this can be a difficult and controversial process, as the status of many entries is disputed. For information on the criteria used to determine the contents of this list, please see the "criteria for inclusion" section below. For more general information on sovereign states, please see "sovereign state".

Yep, Looks like somebody dragged Mork back from Ork. :D

Congratz to the Guys behind the scenes. :)

Me I just watched My Major Dundee DVD today(He went after an Apache raiding party, Yeah It's mostly fictional and I like It, Although there was something similar that makes It mostly plausible), Among other things, But then I probably would have anyway, As there's nothing on TV here on Sunday during the day. :D

Mostly Cal, although border hoping into Nevada & Arizona at one point of the tour. Flying in to LA, few days there, down to San Diego, up to Palm Springs then Las Vegas. Helicopter to Gran Canyon, day there, back following day, driving to Death Valley, on to Yosemite and finishing up in San Fran.

Just over 2 weeks, which will be a very welcome break.

Not sure what this is worth anymore, due to all the Boycotts of Arizona, But the bridge is almost completed, Most of the roadway has been poured, This is the US 93 bridge between Nevada and Arizona of course, Pretty soon the route over Hoover will be closed, Forever as It will after November 2010 be a dead end road.
