Saving the world - one quantum physics problem at a time.
By now, we've got the vehicle physically ready and we prepared ourselves for the journey. There are some things that you still need to do in order to help with the journey itself. Some of these things may seem like common sense while others I'm sharing from experience. Regardless, before you pack item one it would be a good idea to get the inside of the car all ready. Give the car a very good cleaning. Take some time to really vacuum the inside well. If needed, use some ...

Being a techno-geek myself, I am not going to slam anyone for tweeting or posting things on Facebook regarding what was going on with the Olympics from the past two weeks. Friends, media outlets, and even other people I follow within different communities were passing along a lot of the great news about how the USA was doing.
