If money was not an issue. My dream house would be on lake of the woods, it would be a very nice log house with 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If i designed it it would have a lot of big windows with a glass roof. I would want a very nice yard with a great landscape idea, I would like for it to have a long straight drive way so I can see who is coming. I would only want it to be three levels and with a 5 car garage. It would have to have a zipline from the third story right into the lake and a very long dock so i can fish off of it. I would like it to be a very open style house with a very nice and big kitchen. i would like it to be in a very wooded area but still somewhat close to town..

American Airlines
American airlines have been having trouble with their airplane seats. In the last couple days the seats on two seperate planes have become loose or even tipped over resulting in emergency landings. It made a lot of people late to where there were going and now A.A has 8 planes that are under inspection to see if they are deemed safe for flight. at least no one was hurt during the mess, but it would have been a different story had the plane crashed or tipped upside down.

This time of year I devote a lot of my time fishing for walleyes. This year has been off to a slow start, although I know it will pick up once the temp drops. I really only fish for walleyes on the St. Croix River because most lakes around here kind of suck. I have caught some very nice walleyes, but none like the monster in the picture above... someday I will though.

If my parents would by me any car I can think of it would have to be a nissan
g-tr r34 skyline, this vehicle is my favorite because it is exotic and it is almost the fastest car money can buy, and it only costs about 100,000 compared to the other fast cars it can beat which are about 500,000
