Whats Up...

Greeting friends and family,
I have just been too busy to play with the blog. Today I have been faxing and taking phone calls from the UK. It seems that a crook has stolen and used my scrapbook graphics on a graphics CD that she is selling online and on a British TV home shopping chanel. I have gotten emails from my own site visitors to alert me and calls from other designers who she has ripped off. One artist in the UK is willing to take her to court and she needs my cooperation. What this rip--off girl does not realize is that if she will not cooperate, then I can make a website that outranks her own site on search that alerts consumers to her dishonesty and warns then not to buy her products. I have done this in two other cases. It gets their attention !

Last Friday I had a small wreck in my adorable VW Thing. It was no ones fault. Just a result of lack of signage associated with a new turning lane that Gulf Shores has added. The out--of-towners just dont know the traffic patterns and as a result, we have a dangerous situation. I went by City Hall to meet with the public works dept about it.

Heather is out of school this semester and working every day. This has meant that I have had to do a lot more to have things ready for her to finish up or put together like I want them.

My friend Marti Choate arrives today from Huntsville to stay for a few days while she calls on her clients. He is a rep for Duralee Fabrics and a lot of fun.

Millers good friend Ben Rankin is in town this week and he came over for a couple hours yesterday. He is a computer programmer in the Nashville area now.

I am being taken sailing this afternoon on Wolf Bay. I have not done that before so I will take my camera.

sHRIMP fEST IS COMING AND i AM IN CHARGE OF POSTER SALES. OPPS, SORRY FOR CAPS. I have laminated about 30 of this years and past years shrimp festival posters and hammered big brass grommets in the corners . Lots of other details I have to take care of about having a tent this year that sells only the posters. For those who dont , SF is a huge deal here. About 3 days of set-up and 4 days of fest. Music on 3 stages.

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?
