No, actually, I don't have a blog - unless you count the road trips, but those only cover our more-ambitious travel experiences (which are of course much more interesting that our usual mundane lives).

For those who are unnaturally interested in the details of the day-to-day stuff, I do have a Twitter account with little vignettes of my life in 140-character chunks, and a Facebook page with the usual pointless and mundane items.

My Twisted Personality Profile

According to the Meyers-Briggs personality type indicator,
I am an INTJ personality type.

Wife and Family

My Wife:

Suzanne Carlisle
(by the way, we met via America Online in early 1995)

Our Kid:

Duncan A. Moeur

Rest of the Family:

I have a mom, a dad (deceased), a half sister (well, she's not really a half sister, because physically she's all there), and 3 other sisters. I also have 6 nephews and 2 nieces.

One of my ancestors (my great-great-uncle, to be precise) was Benjamin B. Moeur, Governor of Arizona 1933-1937. Governor Moeur is famous for declaring "war" on California to stop the construction of Parker Dam.

The Moeur family has lived in Arizona since the late 1800s - so I guess we almost qualify as 'natives'. :)

Things I Use for Wandering Around

Though I much prefer to use the bicycles

to get around when possible, I do have a few motorized vehicles as well.

I do have a big 'ol 1988 Chevy Truckasaurus with a cool blue paint job that we use for long trips and heavy hauling,

a fun little Geo Metro named "Putt-Putt" I use for zipping around on most of my motorized trips.

and a slightly more dignified Ford Taurus named "Moo-Moo" I use for quite a bit of my in-state travel.
My vehicles are equipped with 2-way radio equipment, and I have a DMI that I can use for accurate location of roadway features.
