I actually found that I follwo quite a bit of these already and it gives good goals for things to work on, and they are all pretty simple tasks.

Amsterdam part 2 |
Amsterdam has much more to offer than just coffe shops and the red light district. We visited so many museums and saw so much local art. It is so rich in history there. The architecture is amazing, and the local color and flair is sensory overload.

Soft Temple Coffee Shop was my first Amsterdam Coffee shop experience.

Local Architicture

and some of the many canals

my Camera took Pink Pictures all day

the Palace in Dam Square

The Waag

Local Street Art. This is a painting of van gogh




Sticker promoting Veganism.


This is a statue of Anne Frank. At the Anne Frank House and Museum you can climb through the bookcase and up the stairs to where she and her family lived in hiding to avoid Nazi Execution. It was a very moving experience.

Multiple Internets? |
Yes Web 2.0 is arriving on the scene. I came across a blurb in The Skateboard Mag
http://www.theskateboardmag.com
written by Mike Munzenrider about a great site everymanskateboards.com
http://www.everymanskateboards.com
This is just the tip of the iceberg, but it shows how You Tube, Wikipedia, and blogging are all rolled into one.
The site owner Eric Norton says "Everymanskateboards.com is a web magazine comitted to brining content and coverage, from the everyman to the superman"
Anyway check it out and try to apply what you learn.

Amsterdam updates w/ more coming soon! |
Here I am on my way the Dam wasnt looking forward to the long journey but was excited ti finally get to go.

Here is the Amsterdam airport. We were so tired from the long trip.

Amsterdam might be one of the most beautiful cities I have ever been to. Here is one of the canal's and lots of great architecture.

This is Bulldog coffee shop. One of the many places to hang out in Amsterdam

Lots of little touches of art everywhere. This hand and breast was in the sidewalk along one of the streets. I think it was near the Red Light District.

Amsterdam was full of graffiti and street art. Lots more to come.

We did so many things I will be updating when I can. We visited tons of galleries, shops, musuems and of course coffee shops, and there will be updates on all.

I arrived in Nags Head to a hurricane. Just my luck after the fires right? However it did clear up and we got to put the boat in the water and do a bit of fishing, although that has not been that great either, but it is great spending time with the fam.

The House we are staying in.

The Fires are over |
Alot has happened in the past week or so, and I was not able to fill you all in on the final fire news. Our house is ok. We have some smoke damage, but mostly ash and soot, so I would say over all we are looking pretty good. I drove around abit and got some pics without trying to offen anyone.

the air quality in Fallbrook was unbelieveable..

The House we built! |
Well I recieved the word today that the house is still there. We are going to wait until tomorrow to go back and let the air clean up a bit. From what we know there is also power and water so I guess we were extremly lucky. 400 homes in Rancho Bernardo alone were completely destroyed. We experienced the cedar fires a few years back, but were nowhere near those. We only had ashes at the beach. This was definatly an emergency type situation, and it really shows you how unprepared we (and by we I mean me) are in times of crisis. Regardless we truly are lucky, and a lesson has been learned. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of those who lost anything during this tragedy.

This Photo was taken of Rancho bernardo rd just west of the 15 freeway. This is maybe 4 blocks or so from my condo.

California is still burning |
We woke up this morning with still no word on our house. The amount of devistation and destruction is un real. I am hoping to get back into the neighborhood later and get some more information.

What a Day |
I woke up this morning at 5 am to reverse 911 calls and the neighbors knocking on doors. We had 5 min to grab our posessions and leave.
The scene look similiar to this as highways were closing and people were diverted elsewhere.

There are over 250k people that had to evacuate their homes so far. Below is just one of many houses in our neighborhood. I am unsure if our condo is even still there, and if this was only a few hundred yards away I can only imagine what the place will look like when we can go back.

Ironically just last week I was admiring the beauty of San Diego and thinking how lucky we are to live here.Know I am thinking how lucky we are to have been evacuated.
thanks to all the emergency personell, and godbless you!
more updates and pictures to come soon!

this was the sunset from downtown san diego on Monday 10.22.2007
you can see all the smoke that surrounded the city blowing west over the Pacific ocean
