Google Gift Came !

This is an experiment--I am going to try the 'Publish from an Email' technique. It is suppose to work and could come in handy some time, like if I am ever taken prisoner and allowed only one email---it would be a shame to email someone who's overly aggressive spam filter grabbed my note and tossed it into the abyss that exists for 'size does matter'  messages. If I used my one and only email to send to the blog, then all 4 of my friends would surely see it and come to my rescue, or bail me out. So lets just see if this works.

Heather, my web helper in G. S. emailed that my Google Xmas gift arrived today !!!! Yipeeeeee---I am still on their list of most wonderous persons.

Now I have asked her to open it and let me know if my USB  flash storage has 64 or 128 MB and if I get headphones or not !! There are two versions of the gift and i wonder if I am on the 'A" list or the 'B' list. Either way, I am very honored. At this rate, by the time I die, I will have all manner of Google branded techie brick-a-brack in my life and y'all can just make a little shrine at my funeral with candles & incense in front of the Google 'Portal' as they  would call it in Costa Rica....just to add an exotic touch & make it a Googlite funeral....then pass out the Google keychains and flashing-light hurricane glasses (from last June web conference), etc.. to the funeral attendees as favors. Better yet--make hurricanes (the drink, not the wind) and everyone have one.  Don't guess I'll need all this stuff in Google heaven.

Update: Heather replied,she opened it.....

suspense...

 I am on the "A" list...I got the 128 MB & headphomes version of the gift.
How kind of them and how wise they are to recognize QUALITY ;o)

Congratulations! I know what a big honor this is. Being on the A list must feel good.

I'm a little worried about your planning your google-themed funeral. I plan to do one of those videotapes where you tell everyone what you REALLY think of them - like "Aunt Virginia, you really should get help for your OCD - there's good medicine available", and "Mother, since you've smoked for 50+ years and I've never smoked in my life, it should be you here instead of me!". And maybe tell my sisters their hair is looking a little brassy and i'm glad i died with a smaller ass than either of them.

well, i digress. must go. hope no one identifies the source of this anonymous commenter!

Do You Know This Plant?

Image
I photographed this small weeping shrub in Pensacola in a front yard. The purple flowers and orange berries were present at the same time on this georgous plant. The same yard had some of the same species but with white flowers that were not nearly as vibrant. It looked great in spite of a very dry summer and it is planted close to salt water. I have been doing online searches trying to identify this plant to no avail. Click to see big photo

Color Change Paint Job

Image
I spotted another car with one of those awesome paint jobs that change colors are you drive past. I used to see one with a different set of hues parked in from of a local vinyl liner pool company here in Gulf Shores. This is what I'd like on my VW Thing, but I want coral and peach shades so it look like a woman's fingernail polish rack at the nail salon. Anyone know anything about this type of paint job ? What is it called ? What's it cost. Where do you go to get it ?

Miller's Birthday Today

Image
Today would have been Miller's 26th B'Day. Here are some birthday photos from his 11th and his 15th birthday and a few others. In one he has on some of his Grandaddy's vintage Lily Pulitzer pants. In another he was so proud of the size of the catfish that he caught that he was holding the cat for size comparison. He only bleached his hair once. He walked into the room with the cat and put it on his head, but it didn't work out as planned and I always thought it was one of the funniest photos of him I ever took. Miller was the most brilliant, funny, charming, thoughtful, & loving person I have ever known. He was finishing up Grad School and had every pilot's certification possible for his age when he died. There is no telling what he would be doing today had he lived. We all miss him so.
