Wow.
We handed out a veritable VAT of candy last night. Right up until the bowl was empty. We then turned out our porch lights and pulled the shades to signal our paucity of sugary bits.
I did keep a few tootsie rolls and one tootsie pop, just for fun.
Why should they have all the fun?
I am mulling over getting myself a really really used laptop. As stated before ad nauseum, I kinda wanted to get a Dana Alphasmart. But I just cannot pull the 500 dollar trigger. All I need is a working laptop with a word processor installed. And one that the battery is still operating fairly well. I my hie me off to the used computer store down the road and see what they have going on.
What I would like to do to tell you the truth is borrow one and see if I like it. Too bad there isn't such a thing as a test drive, loaner computer type program. I guess most of them are too expensive for that kind of thing.
Anyway, it's been rattling about in the brain pan, so I thought I would mention it.
Well, everyone is talking about it.... good old John 'Stick Your Foot In Your Mouth' Kerry. So I'm assuming you have heard about his little comment.
I liked this response to it best:
I think old John should just stay home and lick ketchup labels. Keep him out of trouble.
