Class at UNM

Ok, it may not be my first day of the semester, but who cares anyway. This is the door to CS550 (Programming Languages). So you would assume this is about different computer languages, and you would be wrong. We are learning to analyze a pseoudo language. Makes you think and so far it is fun. The professor is great for those of us who normally stuggle in class.

Proof?

A picture of the disk in the basket on hole 18 at Ladera.

OMG...holed it!

This picture may not show the basket very well, but trust me, it's about 120 feet away. Hole 18 at Ladera disk golf course....OK OK, I was throwing from OB (out of bounds) but still.

Tickets for lunch

On lunch friday, I got two tickets. One for speeding and the other for the location of my license plate.

UPDATE: After going to court for these tickets this is what happened. I showed up early and saw all these other people approach the judge wearing baggy clothing and just looking like crap. They did not fair to well. I was somewhat presentable with my clothing and was hoping the officer would not show; he showed. I approached the bench (really a podium with a mic, in front of the judge). The judge asked me to explain the situation. I told her (using "your honor" freely) that I was on my motorcycle on a very slippery road in construction, which was a school zone. After leaving this school zone, only about 30ft further, I ended up in another. I told her that I was in the wrong either way. She was kind enough to let me off easy. I only had to stay clean for 3 months and this violation would be esponged. For the license plate location, I put it back to factory and took a picture to show the judge and officer. I remember when I was pulled over, this officer told me that I had the license plate on like I did because I like to run from cops. I about freaked out. But in court he was very professional and I really was lucky on the turn out.

My lunch on sunday, all gone.

My first blog, so just to get my account up and running, I took a photo of the remains of my lunch from Blimpies. I had a small chicken baja on wheat bread and a side cesar salad. For only $6.79.
