I just happened to read in one of the local media outlets...

that the local community college right down the road is in the midst of celebrating its 60th anniversary. I just thought it was kind of interesting. I kind of remembered thinking about Calhoun because an old high school teacher of mine (this year marks 20 years of being out for me) is kind of high on their food chain and also the head of the school's Center for the Study of Southern Political Culture. Pretty cool......

It must be nice that the Republicrats (to them at least) have a clear candidate for the general election. Old John McCain can even start in with general election ads....



I myself am partial to the following....



Woohoo, we'll probably get some rain today. In addition to the need for rain and the fact that it will help my yard, I don't even care much that there's a chance that we'll get it over the weekend. Of course, I'm sleeping during the day (like a vamp) anyway and my next day off is Monday. Heck, my only day off is each Monday. That makes for some pretty nice currency.

Kind of switching back to birthdays, ye olde FBI turns 100 this year. I'll bet that someone from the Bureau's early days would be overwhelmed at the changes in the past century. Like....CYBERCRIME!

Well folks, the bed is calling so I must say adieu.....

In the recent months with stories of a slightly floundering net pioneer, one thing has amazed me...

Yahoo! and Google offer a breadth of tools and services in addition to just search. And yet somehow, Yahoo! (even with a slightly longer corporate history than its dominating competitor) just doesn't seem to be kicking it like the old GOOG. The process by which some businesses succeed and dominate (and others don't catch on quite as well) is pretty amazing to watch sometimes.....
