Feedjit has been showing Microsoft’s search.live.com moving through my site one word search at a time.  It makes me nervous.

For the first time ever I’ve had a Logitech mouse die.  The plastic “spring” on the main button is becoming useless and I’ve had to buy a new one.  My Mother still uses my original “wedge” LT mouse for Windows 3.11 on her system.

WordPress has a new version out and they are nagging about up-grading.  I’ll do it at some point.

NTodd of Dohiyi Mir drove from Oregon back to Vermont, at the same time Keith of Invisible Library was driving from Savannah to Salem, Oregon.  They would have passed on the road.  I doubt anyone wants to go from Vermont to Georgia.

Steve Bates at Yellow Doggerel Something gets called for jury duty more often than anyone I’ve ever known.

I must be one of the last people in Northwest Florida with a landline telephone because I get called for polls several times a month.

You may have heard about this, or read about at a blog. WFTV reports on a billboard in Orange County, Florida linked to Mike Meehan, a St. Cloud, Florida businessman and possible musician.

The billboard has a picture of the World Trade Center on fire and a message saying don’t vote for Democrats. Mr. Meehan says he’s trying to help the Republican Party, and, by the way, happens to have some CDs for sale with his latest opus: The Republican Song.

No need to go into all of the facts of the Republicans in charge of everything when the towers were stuck, the sleaze factor of attempting to profit from the tragedy, the probability of a copyrighted photograph being used for the billboard, etc. This is a Florida Republican, just put him on the sex pervert list and get on with reality, except…
