I see that some of you cats and kittens use Firefox 3. I tried to do the same a while back. Please let me know when they finally get all the stupid bugs worked out of it.

Thanky mucho.

What a way to waste a weekend

Weather here in the mid-south is promising to be absolutely typical for this time of year, which is to say- miserable. Rainy, windy, yucky. Looks like I may not be able to sit on the patio and listen to my Washington Nationals lose another game, so I think I’ll probably finally break down and fill out my “blogroll”. I say this every damn time…. it is my LEAST favorite part of moving from one platform to another. It’s just a pain in the @$$. But anyway, that looks to be the agenda for tomorrow, if anyone cares.

PS- I listen to the Nats on XM satellite radio, which is just about the coolest thing since sliced terrestrial radio. Every MLB game played. They also cover most- but not all- SEC football games.

A few things that ROCK !

First, my new buddy Bytetips. He did the base design for what I’m using here now, and it was really easy to use and manipulate and customize and all that. I haven’t had a good chance to check out all the other things that he does over at his site, but if it’s anything close to the work he put into this before I started screwing around with it, I’m sure it’s fantastic.

Second, Wikipedia. I know, I know, it’s largely a lefty outfit, but if you’ve got a few grey-cells left you can read through the BS and actually get some good information from time to time. But, really, mostly they get my praise this evening because they had a bunch of the quotes that I posted on that cool little quotey thing at the upper right. And they are all correct, I’m sure. Especially the PJ stuff. (Damn he’s funny.)

Third, and this is a running theme, fall Saturdays in the South. Is there anything better than SEC football ? The shorter days, a chill in the air (maybe), the excitement, the pretty girls… I was watching a replay of the Ole Miss-Samford game today and it brought back the memories.

I take that sentiment back a bit- is there anything better than being a sideline cameraman at an SEC football game ? Man alive ! You can sometimes see better stuff than a decent free-porn site. I thought up-skirt pics were illegal….

And fourth, and last, this election drama that we are seeing play out. This is just fun, folks. I will join the chorus of millions who were less than excited about this a few weeks ago. Now I am charged. This is gonna be a lotta fun. And of course the best place to follow election coverage will be right here at TTA.
