Another daughter!

It's a girl! Or at least from what they could see in the ultra-sound we are almost certainly certain it is a girl. The little gal wouldn't let us see very well.

I honestly really love being the father of a daughter already. So I imagine two will be a lot of fun. We have always imagined Lucy and a little sister would be the cutest pair ever so we are really happy. Lucy and little Ruby Jewel Polehn are going to be the best of friends, we can already tell!

Lunch time in The Dirty!

The Dalles has quite a few restaurants relative to it's size. Some are great some are down right bad. These are my five favorite places to eat lunch in The Dalles in no particular order. Some are old favorites and others are relatively new establishments. All serve delicious food and drink. Montira's Thai Montira's is the only thai place in town. But that lack of competition doesn't keep them from delivering a quality product. Other restaurants of the Asian variety have them beat as far as portion size and price go but they serve a quality product consistently. I can't say that about many other places in town. Montira's serves really great food for a decent price. Just be warned if you ask for extra-spicy you will feel it all the next day... But its worth it if you really like spicy. Spooky's Spooky's is one of t...

Ubuntu Games: Bitsnake

Who doesn't love a classic game of snake? No one? That is what I thought! Bitsnake is just that a classic snake game written in Python. A snake game written in a language named after a snake you say! Well actually it's named after the British comedy troupe, but still... You know snake right. They game where your goal is to eat "apples" and try not to run into the wall or yourself. Simple, classic big fat time killer. Get it! You can download the game here . Just unrar and play. Here is a quick how to for you terminal junkies... First make sure that you have the correct dependencies. $ sudo apt-get install python-pygame Download the rar file. $ wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/bitsnake/files/bitSnake_source.rar Extract that rar. $ unrar x bitSnake_source.rar Play the game! $ cd bitSnake/ && python bitSnake.py

Writing Goals

Recently I came to the conclusion that I should write more often. That is, I believe, I should start to consider myself a "writer." That's the main reason there's been a bit of an increase in publishing to this blog (going from zero over the past few years to a couple times a month is a pretty huge jump). I, like most humans, have thoughts and opinions which are a product of the times and places in which I live. I figure I can do my part for future historians and write a few of them down. I also just might have enough creative juice to pump out a story or two. This blog I'd like to post to this blog at least once a week from now on, or at a minimum once a month. Really, anything at all would be better than what I've been doing. I'll mainly write about my life, family, interests, and opinions about, current events and local and state politics (I'll try to steer clear of national issues for my own sanity). Pretty...
