Lawn Darts
Erin and I had been looking for Lawn Darts to take camping with us, none of the stores had them and some people said they were banned for sale in Illinois. Well, I finally decided to look on the internet and I discovered why we have had such a hard time finding them. They have been banned in the United States since 1988. Wow.

Cool way to listen to music online
Been spending a lot of time listening to Yahoo! Music. As part of my SBC DSL contract I get a free premium account to their LAUNCHcast Plus service. The music selection is great. It kinda works like the Tivo suggestions were you rate what you listen to and it will give you music based on what you like. Kinda neat?
