End Pavement

Only a handful of hours till the first moments of 2008, and I have to say I’m looking forward to it. Here’s to having more of it out of doors, whether on wheels or boots.

Happy New Year!

Just wanted to point out a new category in the sidebar links: Conditions. Thanks to the Interweb, it’s exceedingly easy to have a gander at what’s going on where you’re headed, thus avoiding potential problems or even danger.

Unless of course you ignore a Flash Flood Watch and get caught in a thunderstorm. But that’s another post.

Here’s what under Conditions at the moment:

• California Fire News
• InciWeb: California
• National Weather Service: Current Watches, Warnings and Advisories for California
• NOAA Pacific Tsunami Warning Center
• San Bernardino National Forest Current Conditions
• USGS: Earthquake Map for California and Nevada
• Weather Underground: California

It skews toward California and SoCal specifically, but heading to some of those sites will produce similar tools for other regions.

Shoulder and other injury update over at Celsius1414.

Update: Saw the doctor today (Monday)

See About for more information on this site. It is being developed at the end of 2006 for debut in early 2007.

Much like The Trolley Dodger is doing for the Dodgers and baseball posts that used to go on celsius1414.com (my personal website), End Pavement will do the same for the outdoors, cycling, hiking, and related topics. Like the old baseball content, I won’t be transferring much if any of the older outdoors stuff here either, but if you’d like to check it out, as there is a ton of stuff there, here are some links to get you started on:

• Outdoors
• Cycling
• Hiking
