It's May

May is flying so fast. The weather is perfect, we finally started having warm nights. I think the A/C at Hardwood Dr isnt working, but we have a little 100v window unit in the bedroom that Heather & I use for an office so I run that and leave all the doors open. So far so good.

I talked to the guys at Auburn Univ. and found out that no one has a salt tolerant website that any of us knows about. So I registered www.salttolerant.blogspot.com. I wish it didn't have two "T"s together, people tend to misspell double letters in URL's. I have been taking photos of the plants tha tI observe to be especially salt tolerant. When studies are done about salt tolerance at AG schools, they do not really simulate the conditions at the seaside. The air borne salt is not part of the testing I don't think. I looked up the regular www.salttolerant.com type domains but they are all registered. But I just now did register www.salt-tolerant.com so I may use it later on. I might be able to sell a few plants thru affiliate programs on it as well as have a very good, helpful info site.

Tomorrow I go see a doctor in P'Cola about my thumbs. I somehow screwed them up riding a different bicycle than my usual, It was 6 months ago at least, they have not gotten better, sometimes seems trhey are better then they get worse.

Too sleepy to write more, ....zzzz

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?
