Steve Pridgen turns 81 !

Sometimes when I reflect on all the beer I drink, I feel ashamed. Then I
look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all
of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be
out of work and their dreams would be shattered. I think, "It is better
to drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and
worry about my liver."

Happy Birthday Daddy !

We had a fabulous day--the weather was HEAVENLY.....absolutely.....we went to wonderful, charming, hidden away (at least for now) Bon Secour to get fresh shrimp and crab. While there we say pourposes swimming in the Bon Secour River--the photo of the water with the little white splashes is their tails. I didn't have my big-zoom camera with me, so I didn't get any good shots of their tails in the air, and I am not sure that Daddy ever saw them. But I did. The old live oaks are so georgous in Bon Secour and the sky was so blue.

Later we had a nice beach walk. There were a few sunbathers on the beach too--see photo.

I took a photo of Daddy and he took one of me, my head is clearly in it.

Came back to the house and cooked shrimp and crab.
Now dashing off to The Undertow for some razza-ma-taz music.

Now in case you are confused---the womanleaningover is NOT ME !! It is the other beach vacationer that Daddy and I shared the public beach area with today.

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 ?

Class distinctions and social networking sites

Interesting read: An excerpt: A month ago, the military banned MySpace but not Facebook. This was a very interesting move because the division in the military reflects the division in high schools. Soldiers are on MySpace; officers are on Facebook. Facebook is extremely popular in the military, but it's not the SNS of choice for 18-year old soldiers, a group that is primarily from poorer, less educated communities. They are using MySpace. The officers, many of whom have already received college training, are using Facebook. The military ban appears to replicate the class divisions that exist throughout the military. I can't help but wonder if the reason for this goes beyond the purported concerns that those in the military are leaking information or spending too much time online or soaking up too much bandwidth with their MySpace usage.

Is It Just ME?

Two odd phrases keep popping up in print that just seem weird to me. Here is one: "I am absolutely appalled that another computer containing the personal information of veterans has gone missing ," said Sen. Rick Santorum, a Pennsylvania Republican. Why not say "is missing" ? Doesn't "has gone" imply some action on the part of the computer? And our local newspaper recently had headlines that said: "City looks to buy land on Ft. Morgan Road" Is "looks to buy" an accepted English phrase for "considers" or similar? Maybe it is, but both of those phrases sound rather like Granny Clampett to me. Your opinion?
