About Me

................................... So I just moved back to civilization, where my phone actually gets service! I'm so excited, now I don't have to drive an hour and a half each way anymore! When I am not working my real job I can probably be found with a police scanner in one hand, a ham radio in the other, a camera hanging from my neck, and a map by my side. I am often alongside my brother Joe when local news is breaking. Check out my Local News Blog at http://ChrisTheNewsNugget.blogspot.com ...........Joe's site is very organized and better updated than mine, his site can be found at www.inland-news.com ...you should really check it out, and add it to your favorites!

Local News, EBAY EBAY EBAY!, Driving if I'm not on the 91, Air Travel when the engines keep working, Baseball, Hockey, NYSE, NASDAQ, the Standard and Poors 500, and the Wilshire 5000... now that's excitement baby!
