Are they Happy in Happy?



Google somehow uses Happy, TX as the default weather on the log-in page on my Firefox homepage. I don't know where Happy is, never heard of it before, but the town has a nice name. The 15 yr old boys there probably hate the name. But I have to wonder how happy any of them are today with their weather. Plus the graphics are a first for me to see. I guess it means ICE STORM.

I was suppose to drive to Memphis yesterday---couldn't manage it---today is last call---I have Rhonda lined up to come help clean the Memphis house tomorrow and try to dig out beds and get clean sheets on them for the pilot friends of Miller's that will be there on Thursday night.
The weather here yesterday was wonderful--looks like today will be the same, and I have to drive away from it. Blue Angels are out my window as I type this. Hate to leave.

Honey, get ready, 'cause the high today was only in the 30s, I think. Too cold to walk. It is supposed to warm up some, I think. I'm sure your arrival alone will do lots to warm our hearts - your old Memphis friends. Particularly those of us who are giving estrangement as a special gift to our families of origin! Just praying they don't show up with gifts and guilt in return...oh, my. just a few more days...

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?
