Really tickle your buttski, don't I.
You're just such a tempting target. It's like putting a fresh KKD in front of Matt -- just too delicious to resist.

Actually, Matt's wannabe bitch. Matt's just as fed up with him as the rest of us are.

I know what you mean.
All our roads out here are chip and seal.
Wait. I lie. Roche Harbor has blacktop about half way out They were rebuilding it at the same time the airport was putting in the new runway. So the construction company brought over a temprary asphalt plant to make the asphalt for the runway (FAA won't allow chip and seal) and the County used the plant to make macadam for RH road. But other than that, everything's stright chip and seal. And really nasty for the bicycle tours -- almost makes up fo the agony we have to go through driving our nice clean cars over fresh oil. ( <g> -- the last time our cars were washed was before winter; what's the point when one trip later you can't tell it was ever washed?)

Yep, sloppy indeed. Had to put it in 4WD going up Cady mountain, snow sticking on the roadway from about half way up the mountain past Lawson's Pond, but other than that, just wet snow not sticking. But coming home, Mt. Dallas was snow covered. Quite pretty, actually. Was Mt. Constitution covered, or don't you get to see it from where you are?

Funny thing, but it seems that the harder I work, the luckier I get.
Between our house and town is a long, windy, steep hill cut out of the side of Cady Mountain. Cliff on both sides. Right at the bottom is a road that leads to a quarry. No run at the hill; in fact, the road entrance makes a Y so to go up the hill they have to come out onto the "main" (really country) road, get right across it, back into a little filled space, then turn again to go up the hill. Sometimes when I'm driving to town I'll get behind one of the dump trucks loaded with gravel, and have to follow it up the hill. About a half-mile or so. If they would only go 15, it wouldn't be so bad. But often it's more like 5.

A thought highly relevant to certain posters here, IMO:
The true measure of your wealth is what you're worth after you've lost all your money. (Money including material goods, for those who need it drawn out for them in black and white.)

You're 62 years old and can you honestly tell me that you have six figures invested in stocks or
mutual funds? Now let's see you brag.
What you haven't figured out yet is that people who have it don't need, or usually want, to brag about it.

Now ask JM where HE went to college.
He's posted in the past that college is a waste of time. Wonder whether that's based on experience, or prejudice.

Just in the profile. Otherwise it becomes a distraction.
Unless all you do is use slightly different colors in the person's name. That might work. Otherwise, I would say just in the profile.
I loved the handcuffs at first. But when a handcuffed person posts 10 posts in a row, it gets a bit distracting. Again, color would be good here (can you do a name in black and white stripes? <g>)

I think it depends on how you define work.
I intend to do a lot of new things. I'm finally going to get my music in good shape. Before I was married I was quite competent at several instruments. Have had to let that go for many year. I want to get it back.
Then I want to write. There are dozens of books and stories and ideas in my mind I've never had the time to write down.
Plus, of course, there are grandiose plans for the garden and grounds.
I expect to be so busy I just won't have time to work!

FYI, Matt, no charts came up there for me. No graphics at all. Though Netscape claimed it was trying to get Yahoo charts.

I have been careful never to fall into the AOL web.
For reasons including those you outlined.
I wish I could equally skillfully avoid MSFT, but sadly I'm not proficient enough to run Linux. For most of the world MSFT is indeed a monopoly. And not a benevolent one.

Interesting note -- report on the news today that AOL is considering dropping Explorer as its browser and picking up Netscape, which of course it owns. Makes sense. If they do, it will make a major change in the brower situation -- at last count AOL had about 34 million members. In one fell swoop could make Netscape the most popular browser again.

Netscape 4.76.
Still does all I want it to. Heard 6 was buggy. Has that been fixed in 6/2? Is there reason to upgrade?

But then again, who uses Netscape anyways
the same people who don't think KKD and Pepsi are a balanced diet.

An 80-year-old man went to his doctor for his annual checkup. The
doctor asks him how he's feeling. The 80-year-old says, "I've never felt
better. I have an 18-year-old bride who is pregnant with my child. What
do you think about that?"
> >
The doctor considers his question for a minute and says, "I have a
friend who is an avid hunter and never misses a season. One day when he was
going out in a bit of a hurry, he accidentally picked up his umbrella rather
than his gun. When he got to the creek, he saw a prime beaver sitting beside the
stream of water. He raised his umbrella and went, "Bang, Bang", and the
beaver fell over dead. What do you think of that?"
> >
The 80-year-old said, "I'd say somebody else shot that beaver."

The doctor replied, "My point exactly."

If it's really GOOD corned beef. Very hard to get nowadays. What they call corned beef on this coast is about half fat, and little flavor.
