Hippie

I have been thinking about purchasing one of those hand held GPS units but I don't have the first clue what kind of options I may or may not want... I do know that I don't want just a moving map... I want something that gives me coords, speeds, altitudes, roads, directions, e.t.a's., moon phases, sunrise and sunset, color would be nice and maybe some details about the next town I am going to come too... If anybody out there knows anything about them, please send me an email... :o) Thanks!!!!

Roadside America... After the first cars started getting faster and faster, the only way to stop those new fangled vehicles of the early years was to make the buildings and statues more colorful and bigger than the next just to grab the attention of that would be customer... It was Americana advertising at it's purest form, creating a feeling of "fun for all" and "civilization does exist after all those miles traveled"... The good feelings of those road warriors of the 30's, 40's, 50's and beyond are still felt to this day as the giant doughnuts and wigwam villages appear in the distance as you grow closer... There are new ones popping up even to this day, keeping the days of yesteryear alive and well... Please, click and journey into the odd, odd world of Roadside America...

Did I just ramble on or what? hehehe
Wow, I must have really like this site... ;o)

Well, as you may have noticed, the company hosting almostamazing.com is still working on the DOS attack... Here is the last updated statement from them:

**Important Update**
6:00 PM, PST, May 23, 2003 - This message serves to reassure you that while it may be a holiday weekend, our team of engineers remains at work, focused on resolving the issues relating to the Denial of Service (DOS) attack and service interruptions to our website and mail services. We will provide updates as information becomes available. Again, thank you for your patience.

I get so much junk mail now a days and most of the time I just delete, delete, delete and so on until the mailbox is empty... This morning, I was kinda reading through them, cracking up due to the fact that most of them are selling generic Viagra and other things to make me a bigger and better person... ahem... Others try to disguise the email as if I should know the person writing it... Like, "Hello there! Remember me from the chat room last night? Well I have a new site that you said you wanted the link to..." etc... Well, I didn't go in any chat rooms last night, at least that I remember... So those emails kinda make me chuckle as well but this next one is really the reason I'm aimlessly typing right now... The following junk email is an exact copy of the one I just opened... See if you laugh as much as I did...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I'm 22 year older and like showing me nacked very much...
Wanna chat with me so we can play together?
Dont forget you must be 18y older like me... then..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That is all it said with a link at the bottom to click... I didn't, I was afraid!!! LOL Click here for a site that the email above reminds me of...

My site has been down since the 20th and I think it's finally back! Yeahhhhh!!!! :o) The company that hosts my site wrote the following paragraph, outlining the problem:
"The Denial of Service (DOS) attack against our systems has further intensified, continuing to impact the performance of our website and mail services. The intensity of the load we process on a normal day is approximately 1,600 packets per minute. We are currently processing in excess of 3 million packets per minute."
The increase was so huge that the server just couldn't keep up with the heavy traffic loads the attack caused... Dang people out there just sitting around the puter trying to cause problems for others... Why? I guess we may never know...

Here is a REAL Police report that made me laugh... I thought you might like it too...

A man said he saw three creatures that were half monkey and half man on the telephone poles strumming the wires in the 900 block of Main Street.

Here is a site that may keep you busy for hours as it did me... Sodaplay.com reminds me of an Erector Set gone wild! You can build your models then add muscles to them so they can bounce, stretch, turn and even walk depending on how good you get and how well you understand the dynamics involved...
