Scaredy Dog! Understanding and Rehabilitating Your Reactive Dog
Highly recommended by my trainer and a great overall resource for dog behavior. It's a pretty small book and seems like a lot of money at first but the amount of info in it is totally worth it.

Iogear 5 Port Hi-Speed USB 2.0 PCI Card
Yes - we did get a little scared by a friend's hard drive crapping out not once but twice and losing all his stuff. This is what we got to back up onto and so far it seems to be working fine. ****
SanDisk SDDR-88-A15 8-in-1 USB 2.0 Hi-speed Reader
Seems to be working fine. We had been having a lot of USB port issues that have since gone away. ***
Fart Pen
OK - I had actually ordered this to be shipped to dad but they shipped it to me by accident. It's pretty funny although I am not certain anyone thinks it's as funny as I do. ****

Doug mentioned that they played "Better is One Day" at the Padres game last night. In the process of trying to figure out which version they played, I found this group which seems really cool.

Bowlite-suction Mount
We've been rafting out to listen to the concerts at Humphrey's by the bay and taping our mag lights to the front of the raft. Hopefully this will be more convenient.

Sevylor Aluminum Shaft Oars
Last night the cheapy plastic oars I got with my raft broke when I was trying to paddle faster. Time for better oars.
