I made a little mistake when reversing from a spot one day, and i scraped the front bumper and fender against a little pole, and that put a huge gash in both of them. I have to buy a new front bumper and fender as soon as I can. I am also installing some new shocks in my car soon, one reason why is because I found out the rear never even had shocks in it from the previous owner, and the front shocks are going bad. This is the most recent update on my car, and I will have some more updates later on.

Present progress on my car
My car has slowly been getting some parts put into it. I originally bought it at 118,xxx miles and it was running pretty strong. It came with a different intake and a borla cat back exhaust system, which is a nice little start of upgrades.The engine is still running strong right now, but the car has had about 2500 dollars dropped into it. I have had a new fuel pump installed, new clutch, new parking brake, and few other little things here and there.

A bike I'm building up
So a few months ago my track bike got stolen from my house. A couple friends saw someone riding it before, so I was hoping I would see the person riding it so I could get it back. I still haven't seen it myself, so I decided to start building up a new one. It's going to be based around a black Leader 735TR frame. Here's a picture of the same frame, but in green: http://velospace.org/files/65465.jpg
I have a bunch of other parts for my bike too. I should have my bike finished before holiday break. I'm excited.

There's an article on my RSS feed from The Press Democrat that is about a man in possession of heroin. The guy was only pulled over for talking on the cellphone, but it led to the officer searching his car and he found about six pounds of heroin wrapped up. The guy was an immigrant driving without a license, so he will be getting multiple charges.
One thing I don't understand about these drug laws are why people can get multiple charges for the possession of a substance. The man had heroin in his possession, but it was in a car, so he gets another charge for the transportation of it. What if he was just keeping it in his car? I know it seems unlikely, but to say he wasn't is assuming things, not the truth.

Elections
Many people are going out to vote, and the results seem to show that Obama is winning right now. A town in New Hampshire was the first one to vote, and has been for 60 years. Polls for them were opened at midnight, and had a 100% turnout. Even Hillary Clinton thinks that Obama will win the election. Obama has held the lead for a while, but a number of factors can change that.

Girl Stoned To Death In Somalia
A thirteen year old girl who was raped just recently got stoned to death in Somalia. Many reporters estimated that the girl was 23, but Amnesty International said that it was a 13 year old girl who was raped. The family tried to report the rape, but police accused her of adultery and then detained her. If the girl was 13, it would have been illegal to convict her for adultery. 50 men stoned her in a football stadium in front of 1000 people. A lot of the people watching this event said it was wrong, but they couldn't do anything because the authorities were armed. I personally think this event is really wrong, and they need to change some things over there.

Virus that steals bank accounts
A trojan virus was found by RSA, who helps fortune 500 keep their networks secure. This virus steals online bank account info, and infects your computer sneakily. The type of trojan it is, is a "drive by", which works very discreetly. They say more than 270,000 bank accounts and just about as many credit cards have been compromised by this virus since 2006. The creators of this virus release new variations, which keeps the virus a lot harder to stop.
