My Statement

"Let me emphatically say that I am not anti-Facebook (Fleecebook), anti-smart phone, anti-Microsoft, anti-Apple, anti-Google or anti-Internet. I do believe, though, that the consumer is being ripped off of his privacy, identity and purchase history. We are being herded into a Facebook corner where what we "Like" and where we go physically and on the net will be scrutinized and sold numerous times to actually corrode and erode our culture while tempting us only with convenience, high tech and flashing video screens. The unsuspecting consumers need to be aware..." - Gary Lapman

Hump Day...



Max has a new buddy, OsKar.




Police Officer O'Leary is cruising around in his patrol car one
night. He is on the lookout for trouble. He sees two little old
ladies in the front seat of a Chevrolet convertible, parked in
"Honest John's" used car lot.


The car lot is closed, so O'Leary drives up alongside the Chevy
and asks, "Are you two ladies trying to steal this car?"


"Certainly not," says one of the ladies, "we purchased the car
this afternoon."


"Well," says the cop, "why don't you start it up and drive out of
here?"

"We don't drive," replies the other little old lady. "And besides
we are waiting. We were told that if we bought a car here, we
would get screwed."















 



Tori is back home safe.   Still averted a trip to Dallas for work.  Lots of work to do there.
