well, i am stealing from mr. wheaton, too. this is pretty trippy...

1. Open up a blank word doc.
2. Type in Q33 NY in capitals (this is the flight number of the 1st plane to hit the WTC)
3. Highlight it.
4. Change the font size to 48
5. Change the actual font to windings (1)

onto other less disturbing things...someone should invent a coder's keyboard. one stroke could give you the needed tags...click b, get < b >< /b >, typing w will get you a 'http://www.', and t + 2 + 3 will write the code for a two column - three row table. it could get more complicated than basic html, of course. wouldn't it save a lot of cutting and pasting? and silly typo coding errors? as i try to become a more proficient at coding, this seems as if it would simplify things. or maybe i am thinking too much again.

there is a 'curtis park harvest pumpkin faire' next weekend at the park by my house. why is it that we add vowels to the end of words in the english (or, should i say, american) language to give them a new meaning? adding the letter 'e' seems to create a medieval or renaissance tone. add 'i' or 'ii'? you change the word to a scientific sounding plural. the plural of scissors? scissii. see? and when you add 'o' you get a slang 'i wanna sound cool' word. yo' daddy-o. no wonder our language is so complicated. there are many grammar and spelling rules, yet they all can be broken. hmmm. yup. it's sunday morning and i have had too much early-morning-pondering time. off to read the paper. you know i will have something to say about THAT later... :)

oh, and the tree picture? it's shep's. taken at pollywog holler. i haven't asked him if it is ok yet. so i hope it is...
