Mozilla Firefox Going Down the Tubes.

Posted on by
I got a message that an update was available for my Mozilla Firefox. I had been avoiding the update to version 4, because I tried it and I don’t like it. Usually, when you get a message for an update, it is an update for the version that you have installed. THIS TIME, it installed Firefox 8. I immediately hated it. I don’t understand Mozillas logic. They had a superior product, crushed the competition, then they make their product worse and worse, like they are imitating the inferior product. Firefox 8, to me, looks like Internet Explorer. I uninstalled it, and put 3.5 back on, then I spent a while getting all my settings and customization re-done.
I think, in the next coupla years, there will be a new browser coming out. ‘Cause I think Firefox is losing it. But for now, the the pic below truly shows the only thing that Explorer is good for. Although, as Explorer copies Firefox, it gets better, and as Firefox copies Explorer, it gets worse… STUPID….

Aliens, Seamonsters and Anomalies

Posted on by
Yesterday on the beach I made found a weird footprint. It looks to me like an eight toed seamonster, or maybe a space alien.

In other news, the Wife is tired of me beating her up every day, and therefore tomorrow she says she is getting up at 5:20 AM, so she will be beating me up. My alarm goes off at 5:55 AM.

As most of you know, we have, allegedly, two dogs. However, I am beginning to think we have more than two. Yesterday, I was in the living room, and there was a big yellow dog laying in the middle of the floor. Of course she was laying in the most obtrusive, inconvenient spot. After carefully and with great difficulty, climbing over aforementioned large dog. I walked into the bedroom, where I found an identical dog, laying in the middle of the bedroom floor, also in the most obtrusive, inconvenient spot. Take my word for it that I wasn’t paying attention when she moved it couldn’t have been the same dog. Similar anomalies have occurred with the black dog. Scientific investigation to follow.

That’s it for your Tuesday Stupid News.

Beach Bird Photos and Funny Signs

Posted on by
Beach birds and funny signs go together like blood and guts, peanut butter and jelly, Romeo and Juliette, milk and cookies, chicken and dumplins, guns and ammo, duct tape and kidnappers…. Doncha think?

I went to the beach yesterday and took pics of this bird. And below that are some signs from my phone camera. After the beach I came home and watched my football team get whuupped.

Surf Walking Beach Bird looking at me.

Apparently, this umbrella DOES protect against meteors and falling coconuts

Hmmmm, how can I get around this?…

Saturday, What a Week it Was.

Posted on by
This was a long long week. It has been cold and miserable. It’s raining right now. Yesterday at lunch, I went to drop off the mortgage check then stopped by the beach for a few minutes. The seas are calming down.

I don’t know if I already posted this, but my friends cruise ship didn’t stop. I am super disappointed about that. She is a friend from Grade school who I met in probably 1968. Then we went to school together till I moved, one year from graduation. Since I graduated from a different school, I wasn’t on the reunion mailing lists and gradually lost contact with everybody. Thanks to Facebook I have found a lot of old friends. If my friend would have stopped, it would have been the first time we saw each other since 1977, at the latest. So I’m bummed out about that.

I can’t explain any other reason why it seemed like such a long hard week, that and the weather.

And also, last weekend, I wanted to go freediving with my wifes freediving class, and they go t done early, just as I was arriving. AND I have a new wetsuit I want to test out, AND I got my Lionfish culling speargun permit and was issued my speargun. (A Hawaiian Sling) SO it would be nice to eventually, someday, get back in the water.

I Won a Book!!

Posted on by
A couple weeks ago, my blogger friend of many years, Penelope Marzec, had a contest on her blog. And I won!!! Yesterday I received a copy of a book she wrote, The Fiend of White Buck Hall. I will start reading it today.
Penelope writes inspirational romances and paranormal romances. Her books have been published by New Concepts Publishing. Awe-Struck Publishing, and Crescent Moon Press. She recently published one of her backlist books on her own.

In an email, she said that book is “a bit racy, but I can skip over those parts”. Hmmm, I like the car chases, machine gun battles and whatnot, and I used to work at a race track, so I’ll probably like the “racy parts” best!
You can buy her books at your local bookstore or online at Amazon.com

I will give you a full review after I finish the book, but I know it’s going to be great!

Thanks Penelope, for sending me your book!
