The CEO had an idea for how I can be prepared should my seatbelt and airbags ever fail again. Of course, Atticus has had this idea for years.

B.Willey
haha, that’s funny. In a non-laughing, because you actually got hurt way of course.
Seriously though. I hope you are doing well.

Dave, where is death crash ghost mountain anyways? So your first car is gone. Well I remember when I first road in the saturn with you. You said that you “didn’t really care about the chariot you ride in”. That bird was unreal. Glad your ok. I would have mourned you for a long time.

David Mulhern

Wow – I found a tape I made in 8th grade. In it, I sent messages to my future self. One comment I made was:
If right now I’m a computer programmer or something like that, at least I’ll remember what I wanted to be. audio clip
I’m not a computer programmer… But I do enough programming that the statement is funny.
I am amazed at how much I used to catalogue, describe, organize and capture my life as it happened. I’ve done that most of my life… Not as much now though.
Back then, I thought my future self would think it’s cool to hear from the past… but he doesn’t. I could care less. I find my messages boring, immature, self-centered, and overdramatic. None of the names matter anymore… the characters in the stories that used to matter so much mean nothing to me now.

It is four in the morning. There is this bird that just won’t shut up. It is a strange annoying bird. It keeps cycling through all sorts of different bird calls. In fact, sometimes I think it’s a guy with a bird whistle. It will do a certain song a few times, then switch and sound like a completely different bird. It’s really weird.
I threw a microphone outside and clicked record… here is the mp3. The microphone isn’t very powerful .. I had to amplify it in the computer .. this added a strange echo effect …
-
Katy
oh my gosh, that is ANNOYING!!! I only got halfway through the mp3 and had to stop – I was developing unhealthy feelings towards this bird.
Although, I’m with you… it probably IS some guy who thinks he’s a bird. -
David Mulhern
Crazy huh! He does that all night – I just noticed him a few nights ago. But it’s just one bird. Maybe he can’t sleep.
-
Rohn
Do you have a gun? It sounds like you live in the middle of a jungle… crazy.
-
tom
thats the craziest sounding bird in the world. it sound like there is a robot out there too.
-
David Mulhern
I wish it would shut up. All the other birds go to sleep at night.
-
Dad
I think that bird was just trying to wake you up. It sure had a lot to say. Did you notice that no other bird commented back. I know how that bird feels.

Jamie just woke up yelling – “David? David? Are we communists?” I assured her that we weren’t and she went back to sleep.

tom
the other night i was talking in my sleep and i sat up in bed and said to malore, “honey…honey, come here. I love you so much, even though you have pizza on your head.” and we are socialist a close cousin of communists, but not completly.

I’m glad Jamie forgets the things I say when I’m asleep!

After the tsunami in 2004, two homeless animals were sent to an animal sanctuary in Kenya. After meeting, they became best friends.
On the left is Owen, on the right is Mzee. Mzee is 130 years old! And they are best friends! There is even a book about them.

Zack
Those pain killers are really getting to you aren’t they.

So that’s why my head hurts. This is where my head struck the windshield.
This is my car after hitting the firetruck.
This is the firetruck afterwards
They say you feel worse until you feel better. I can see that. On Monday I felt pretty good but today I can barely talk it hurts so bad. But that’s a good sign! That means I’m healing! Unfortunately, Jamie won’t get to hear me talk as much…
-
Katy
Oh, David… we’re so glad your noggin can take that kind of abuse. So relieved you’re all right!!!
Way to take on a firetruck, of all vehicles!

David Mulhern
Thanks Katy! I’ll call you when my mouth is better! : )

Sunday was a beautiful day in many ways. I drove out to Ghost mountain again and took some new pictures. This time in black and white. Here are a couple of the shots from that trip… (Click on the thumbnails to view larger versions)
After I took these photos I ran into a firetruck going the opposite direction on a wet 2-lane mountain road. My car was totaled. My airbag and seatbelt both failed during the crash and my body struck the windshield – but I walked away alive. In fact, I’m recovering very quickly. In fact, I feel pretty good considering what happened. Even at the scene I was instantly aware and talking with the firemen.
Thinking back, I really believe that I could have slid off the mountain had it not been for that firetruck driving around that corner at that exact moment. They were returning to the station after being called on a false alarm. At the foot of the mountain was an ambulance from the same call. There are events in which I can see the fingerprints of God… this was one of those.
Jamie took pictures of the remains of my car – we should get those soon. I actually made a dent in the firetruck – we have photos of that too. Quite a Sunday. Thank you all for your prayers. I am going to be just fine!

Ever since I saw these pictures:
I realized that I wanted a giant bouncy ball of my own. I found one on ebay but the picture was really blurry. I couldn’t tell how big it was so I asked the seller – here is a screenshot of our entire conversation.
So – we’ll see. A solid rubber ball with a 4 inch diameter isn’t bad. The item is still not mine so don’t steal it away from me ….
-
Katy
David, that is so cool… currently I am doing a “special project” for Physics. My partner and I are trying to assess the question “what factors affect the bounce of a ball?” We are using a solid rubber ball, but it definitely is not as cool as your prospective eBay ball…
-
David Mulhern
Katy! For your project – If you want to use one with a 1.7″ diameter – they have them at Los Favoritos for 50 cents. It may make the project more fun if you have a bigger ball?
-
Katy
That’s hilarious that you know the exact diameter of the Los Fav toys
I’ll keep that in mind, indeed. And incidently, what the heck were you doing up at 3:45am?!? Were you still celebrating St. Pat’s day ? 
-
Hana
Hallo! You MySpace-messaged me a while ago about this bouncy ball, and (1) did you end up getting one? and (2) I like your blog and photos a lot (esp. the lomo ones) okay goodbye!

Today I was driving along the streets of what I thought was Mesa but I saw something strange towering over me in the distance. Past the palm trees – sugar coated mountains in every direction.
To be honest I actually had a dream about this – driving at the edge of town – in Phoenix – with snow covered mountains all around. And now it has come true…
Dave.......allen, and 
Chris Reece, 
Zack are discussing.
