Only 8 Hershey’s Strawberry Cream Kisses left: white chocolate and strawberry. Good Lord.

Private Space
The X-prize, perhaps the last vestige of the wacky days of the new economy bubble…well, other than Segway, has proven itself to be a great opportunity to get yourself killed as a private for hire astronaut:
We need to raise some more money…fix our problems and launch another low-altitude flight as soon as possible,” Meier told the Associated Press. “It’s a learning experience to be expected when you’re developing a vehicle with [these kinds] of capabilities.”
Hint: if you are going to go to space and you happen to be human, pick people spending more than $20,000 to see if it will work.
Morton defeats Man U! A dream is shared
Off Again
Train to Moncton and in a van back retrieving the folks. Back Sunday. Will this amusement never end?
BTW, things I failed to get a photo of this week:
- The Bunny Burger sign at the Red Rabbit Drive-In north of Harrisburg, PA;
- “The House of 10,000 Items” shop on highway 6 in north central PA;
- Weed wackin’ Amish;
- Fire flies at the mini-putt.
Parkview Hotel
In Lititz amongst the good and early to bed set. Festooned. All I could think of was “festooned”. And of cold beer. Mighty fine looking.
Technology
While I’ve been away on a short but richly deserved holiday, Gen X at 40 HQ has been busy installing what our executive has described as technology. We trust we are adding some of the finest technology available with the hope of bringing you better blogging to meet the dynamic demands of the future.
Ugly Site
I am looking at this my site on hotel internet set at 800 x 600. Does anyone else leave their setting there nowadays? [I have been amongst the Amish so am using words like “nowadays” nowadays.] At this setting, the photos look worse than Obidiah’s boy Jerimiah did after he fell into the manure pile.
Orange Alert Holiday
Off to hit I-81 tomorrow morning down through central New York heading to the Pennsylvania Dutch region when O’Sammy burps and up go the security levels. We can expect an extra minute delay at Cape Vincent.
We shall not be deterred. We shall convert currency and shall seek out the hots and BBQ. If that makes me and mine a target of whack-jobs, so be it.
Silverware for the ‘Ton
What better way to celebrate the 1,000th post than a picture from after last weekend’s 2-1 victory by SFA Div. 2’s Greenock Morton over the hated neighbouring SFA Div. 1’s St. Mirren of Paisley (Ed.: acht, ptweie, spit). I have enjoyed watching a match at each of their home grounds but if your Dad’s from Greenock you ought to be a Morton fan. More photos here. Discuss the obsession here.
Expect lighter posting for the next while with holidays and the death of the Dell’s high speed access at home. We all need a wee kip and a nip for the 1,000th – have one for me.
