THANKS FOR ALL THE FISH

The dolphins have left the planet. Some news and whatnot you may have missed.

Mavericks Contest The waiting period for the 2007/2008 premier big wave contest has been announced. December 7 to March 31. Invitees will have 24 hours to show when the contest is called to go.

President Pervez Musharraf The legally-elected president of Pakistan is the only stabilizing influence keeping the crazy islamacists away from nuclear weapons. What does the American media do? Scream dire predictions of his downfall. The Left Wing is going to get us nuked yet.

GPS Update The European Union has been developing their own GPS system for a bunch of years now. Called Galileo, it appears that cost overruns may endanger the project before any of the 30 satellites get launched. FYI: GPS sats are involved in day-to-day living “necessities” such as cellphones and ATMs.

Small Boat Paddlers In light of SAR requirements, costs and false alarms, the US Coast Guard is asking all owners of all small craft to permanently mark the owners name, address, phone number and e-mail address on the inside of their boat in some manner.

IRS Refund If you were one of the 92,000 people who were supposed to get a refund (that’s how many checks came back as “undeliverable”) go HERE. You can also find it HERE just by entering your name and state.

NASCAR Championship The Ford 400 at Homestead, Florida will be held November 18 starting at 3 p.m. (EST). Sirius, ABC and MRN Radio will be carrying it live.

It's 1500 in Baghdad and 1630 in Kabul. Do you know where YOUR children are?
