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

Summer Saturday (enjoy it while we can)...

Tori went to the French Festival today and came home with beautiful Lavender and a three-foot baguette. She said it was very crowded.

We went for a hike (with Max) on the Elwood Bluffs and down along the sand.  The day was beautiful and the surf had washed up many rocks and shells.  I found a Sandollar, which I never see here at all.



We went to see "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" this afternoon and heartily enjoyed it.  The part was made for Nicholas Cage...




Late Night Call
A married couple were asleep when the phone rang at 2 in the morning.

The wife (undoubtedly blonde), picked up the phone, listened a moment and said "How should I know, that's 200 miles from here!" and hung up.

The husband said, "Who was that?" The wife said, "I don't know, some woman wanting to know if the coast is clear"
