God bless AMTRAK.
Have you ever wanted to travel across the amber waves of grain by train? Well thanks to an old corporate welfare program you can still criss cross this nation on the old iron horse.

In 1970 congress created Amtrak. Congress created the new rail service to help private railroads get out of the business of transporting people. Railroads had been loosing money for years with passenger service as alternative methods of transportation became more used alternatives. Congress rightly decided that an intercity passenger infrastructure should not be sacrificed by corporate bottom lines.

There are few things in life that I can not deal with. This past year I have seen very important people come and go. My life has changed in very dramatic ways. I have taken the difficult things and found ways to be happy in unfortunate situations.

One aspect of life that I can not find any way to accommodate is that special person who was built to annoy.

Well I have added some pictures to the site. If you have the time view them here.

That jerk who runs the country is now in trouble for undermining the security of the United States, and BUSH STILL STANS BY HIM. I am ashamed to say I graduated from the same University as Karl Rove.

I have added some pictures of my house to the website. The pictures were taken in April right before I moved in.

I am deeply concerned about the retirement of Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’conner. As many know, she held a unique position on the court as a crucial swing vote. In the coming weeks a very bad president will have the opourtunity to leave his mark on the court. My great fear is that George will appoint a tyrant who will roll back some of the civil rights and liberties that are implied in the constitution.

I am calling on all Democrats and Republicans in office to join toghether, fight like hell, and keep the court fair. Do not appoint wackos in the image of Clarence Thomas. Fillabuster, stall the government, do whatever is necessary, DO NOT DESTROY FREEDOM in the United States.

You wouldn’t believe the world that I live in. Everywhere I am surrounded by technology. Have of the things in the room I am in right now were purchased electronically over the Internet. My car has a digital stereo that receives digital broadcasts from outer space. My cable tv tuner can save on demand contents that streams digitally over the coax cables of Utah. Darn I am cool!

On Monday Fedora Core 4 was officially released. It has all sorts of features wich are detailed across the world wide web. I am excited about the support for PPC chips (even though Apple is dropping them). My mac mini may soon be hosting ximz.com on Fedora core 4.

George W. Bush, arguably the worst president ever to hold office, continues to betray the will of the American People. He continues to push his social security reform plan, even though a clear and growing majority of the people disagrees with Bush’s ideas. To complicate matters, Bush implies that he is performing God’s will through his policies. I wonder if God would approve of misleading the public to go to war so some well placed individuals could get some tasty government contracts.

Sick of his 2 hour daily commute, Paul Dayton finally returns to the Salt Lake Valley in style.
