    I dump a lot of stuff into my RSS reader for perusing. These are the feeds that I read from daily. For most of these I never actually visit the sites, I just pull the newest info to one spot to read without a lot of jumping around. StationWagonsForums.com is the only site that I actually visit frequently.

    I have been obsessed with watching the weather for years. That way I know how much pain meds to take... I am not making a "Storm coming. Feel it in my bones" joke. The weather actually affect my joints. Now this is going to sound really unbelievable but I assure you it is the truth. When I was 10 I made contact with a power line. I never lost consciousness and didn't need to go to the hospital. Ever since then electricity has been a weird companion and so has the weather. Sometimes I just feel like I need to be keeping an eye out... May 22 was a bad day for me from when I first opened my eyes till I finally slept a week later... I always check the weather first thing and every chance I get.

    What was that about my bank? I can't hear you.

    You should fit in perfectly with those Station Wagon people. Heck they just might make you their leader... :rofl2: :lolup:

    Yup. I've been a Doctor fan ever since I discovered Tom Baker back in the day. When Doctor Who started up again in 2005 with Christopher Ecclestone I managed to get The Mrs. into it as well. We never miss an episode now even though it's been altered a little for the North American market.

    I've spent time as a Trek fan but got pretty disillusioned after the ending of Voyager and well...all of Enterprise. The new movies are starting to bring me back but I still have pretty strong leanings towards Star Wars. I know it's a bit traitorous to jump between the camps like that, and nobody has betrayed viewers more than Lucas, but I can do it because I'm a Browncoat first with Star Wars and Star Trek following behind somewhere. :)

    I don't do a lot online because I can only get dialup at home and I'm blocked from most things at work.

    This forum I can use with Firefox.

    I check the http://www.car-part.com site too. Just to get an idea what's out there, and sometimes use it to buy things. I've been using it for over 10 years.

    http://www.9and10news.com for the local news and weather. With so few truly nice days around here, it really helps to know when I might be able to accomplish something outside or not even bother. If there's a storm or really cold temps coming, I'll make sure and have the plow ready and have extra wood brought in. In spring and fall, I'll check the weather to know if I can drive my Celebrity which gets a lot better gas mileage, or if I should drive the wagon with the snow tires. Lots of reasons to keep an eye on the weather.

    I check Ebay every now and then, especially if I'm looking for something in particular. Have found some deals on car parts when the seller or most buyers didn't know what it was but I did. And can find things that I'd never find locally in a lifetime.

    And I use Google a lot. Just to look around and learn. I really think the world could become many times smarter if good useful knowledge was combined by use of the internet, without government censorship. But it seems most people just use it to screw around.

    I don't get into Facebook either. My wife made me a page and always bugs me to get on but I haven't been on in years. Just don't care for that kind of thing.

    I'm one too and list it as my favorite Sci-Fi show of all time followed by Star Wars and then Star Trek.
    Wear my "Serenity" t-shirt once a week!
