I ordered these 3 new footbags from http://www.worldfootbag.com/ on 4/18/11 and received them in Alabama (from Colorado) on 4/21/11. If you're in need of footbags (aka hacky sacks), juggling equipment, Frisbees or a few other assorted items, give these guys a look!

I hate it when...
I set my alarm to wake me up 3-1/2 hours before I'm supposed to be at work and I wake up half an hour before the alarm. By this point, many folks ask "Why 3-1/2 hours early?"...
I like to get up and pour/drink my first quart of coffee, check the news/e-mail, knock out several miles on the treadmill and get ready for work and do so at an "ease into the day" pace.
Oh well, it beats the heck out of yesterday when I woke up one hour before I was supposed to be at work...
Here we go!!!

No earth-shattering info here. My new sacks are on the way.
I just ordered a Mr. Sandbag Footbag, Mr. Sandbag Facile Footbag and a SandBlaster Footbag. My old Stally® footbags were (and still are) rapidly approaching the great hack circle in the sky...

Quickie here....
For all of you Alabama folks, if you're ever looking up the status of Alabama legislation and don't remember who your elected Senator/Representative is, you can use this:
While I'm at it...
Alabama taxpayer money funds the Alabama Virtual Library (AVL). You used to have to get a specific card from your local library. Now, the AVL uses Geographic IP guessing (Geotargeting). Geotargeting is generally pretty good, but if (as an example) you work at a place whose network address originates outside of Alabama, you'll need a username/password (i.e. AVL card). Hence, a card is still useful.
