When I was on the back porch smoking a cigarette I noticed several fire flies out and about for the first time this spring! Each year they some how manage to bring a smile to my face and I find myself entranced with them time and time again! One of life’s few simple pleasures.
Pass It Along, It’s All Good!
I honestly thought I knew pretty much all there is about the different web hosting companies that are out there for us to choose from. But I recently stumbled onto a site, webhostinggeeks.com, that has a great amount of information concerning the many dedicated server web hosting” sites and I found that they have put together a list of 7 different “Green Web Hosting Providers” that are eco-friendly and doing what they can to save our mother earth, now how cool is that?
These 7 listed providers use renewable and alternative energy, as well as recycling waste, the planting of trees, and they also purchase RECs in order to power their data centers, which I think are all great ways to make a difference in our soon to be maxed out world.
Ireally have to respect these companies and I would encourage anyone to check this site out to find more information on them. The company that comes in as Number One in the list of 7 is SuperGreen, they have it listed as the most Eco-Friendly Host, with the provider coming in as Number Seven being GoodAvocado, with the boasting of being a wind powered hosting.
Pass it along, it’s all good!
Another School Year Comes To An End
Man where did this year go already? I can’t believe it’s almost time for school to be out. My kid goes to a middle school that requires them to wear uniforms. Not like the Catholic School type uniform. They wear a polo type shirt tucked in (dark or medium green for 6th grade, dark or medium blue for 7th grade and red or burgundy for 8th grade) with khaki or black pants or finger tip length shorts. Girls can wear capri’s or skirts too.
I grew up in the generation that fought like a dog just to get to wear pants to school and then it was only under our dresses IF you walked to school but then you had to take them off when you got there. It took us a long time to get to wear our blue jeans to school. Part of me still wants to fight the ‘uniform’ thing but the one thing I like about it is all the kids are equal at school. No one has any better than the other does so there’s less looking down your nose at the kid that can’t afford the nicer clothes. That I think is great.
A Good and Proud Redneck
DWI – DONE TEXAS STYLE
Only a person in Texas could think of this.
From the county where drunk driving is considered a sport, comes this true story. Recently a routine police patrol parked outside a bar in Austin , Texas . After last call, the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so apparently intoxicated that he could barely walk.
The man stumbled around the parking lot for a few minutes, with the officer quietly observing. After what seemed an eternity in which he tried his keys on five different vehicles, the man managed to find his car and fall into it.
He sat there for a few minutes as a number of other patrons left the bar and drove off.
Finally he started the car, switched the wipers on and off–it was a fine, dry summer night–, flicked the blinkers on and off a couple of times, honked the horn and t hen switched on the lights.
He moved the vehicle forward a few inches, reversed a little and then remained still for a few more minutes as some more of the other patrons’ vehicles left.
At last, when his was the only car left in the parking lot, he pulled out and drove slowly down the road.
The police officer, having waited patiently all this time, now started up his patrol car, put on the flashing lights, promptly pulled the man over and administered a breathalyzer test.
To his amazement, the breathalyzer indicated no evidence that the man had consumed any alcohol at all!
Dumbfounded, the officer said, “I’ll have to ask you to accompany me to the police station.”
This breathalyzer equipment must be broken.’
‘I doubt it,’ said the truly proud Redneck. ‘Tonight I’m the designated decoy.’

Giving Pirates a Bad Name
I hate to hear and see on the news about today’s pirates, they really have taken pirating to an embarrassing new height with technology and all that it and other new tactics, have to offer these guys.
I wouldn’t want to be on the “high seas” in this day and age, a whole totally different kind of game is being played here, with all of the new technology that anyone can get their hands on and use to their advantage, and we are living in the age of nuclear access, wish scares the *%&$@# out of me!
It’s Just A Bunch of Bull
Every year we hear all of the horrible terrifying news from the annual Running of the Bulls, and it seems to be that time of the year once again. I have never really understood why this annual event even takes place considering the fatalities and injuries that occur each and every year! And for this to take place in the middle of July when the heat is at it’s worst, beats me. I wonder how many people are going to get hurt this year.
Today’s GPS
It’s cool how GPS tracking is being used more and more this days and has become very easily accessible through websites such as Live View GPS has, which is where I have found a tremendous amount of information about this up and coming fascinating technology. Whether is be for business or for your own personal use, it has now become more affordable to protect and monitor anything that you deem necessary to. In fact their live vehicle tracking, positions and is updated every ten seconds, that can be viewed by any computer hooked up with the Internet anywhere. That certainly could and would come in handy for so many needs that I can think of. It is an interesting read and worth the time to check out, if you will.
8th and Finale Season on Scrubs
I have always loved the show Scrubs. I’m saddened to find out that this is the last session that it will be produced and aired. I remember the first time I watched Scrubs, it was a bit hard to swallow, but I soon realized that it was a really funny show and I will miss it dearly. Thank goodness for re runs!
Craig Brings Out the Best
Sometimes when I have trouble falling asleep I put the TV in our bedroom on the channel that has the late night Craig Ferguson show. He is so funny and adorable at the same time. I love his Scottish accent and the way he pokes fun at himself, and he has a cast of hilarious characters – played by himself, of course.I’m surprised at how many big name stars agree to come on his show. He always has guests that are fun and lively and talkative. I get a feeling that they are relaxed and more like themselves as real people when they are on his show. Craig brings out the best in everyone
5 Somali pirates drown with ransom share
The latest on the tremendous amount of pirating that is taking place in the Gulf of Aden, is that 5 of the pirates drowned along with their share of the 3 million dollar ransom money that was paid. Piracy is one of the few ways to make money in Somalia, and this particular bundle of cash was delivered to the deck via a parachute.
This is an ongoing situation and one that we modern day pirates are keeping close eyes on, days have certainly changed on the high seas.
