Columbia Icefields in Alberta, Canada

All I can say is just wow... After 8 years, my second visit of the ice fields have really shrunk. This glacier used to be very big, but I guess because of global warming, it was bound to melt.  There are certain things that we can control and we aren't doing a good enough job.  This is mother nature's wonderful creations and its a great tourist attraction.  People better come before they close it down! Also, be sure to bring a jacket as   it's pretty cold up there... and bring an empty bottle if you want to taste glacier water!

Fry's Electronics in Fremont, California

This is perhaps one of my favorite Fry's.   This store has a Tesla Coil and other nifty things that I have no idea what they're called.  There's one with the bunny ears antenna with a spark going to the top and also gas tubes where you can see sparks and neon lights.  There's also that sphere orb thing that when you touch it, you can see the electricity go to your hands. There are also lamp posts inside which I think is a bit strange but it fits the decor.
