HAPPY HALLOWE'EN
Here is the
Wikipedia on Hallowe'en.
If you are out driving tonight, please,
PLEASE, be very careful. Kids are so excited that they might not see you. In residential areas, stay below 10 MPH. Just creep through the neighborhood as if you were a gang-banger getting ready to do a drive-by shooting. I know that is a bad analogy but you get my point.
WHEN WILL YOU DIE?An appropriate question for "All Hallows Eve".
Check out the
DEATH CLOCKFor me:
Monday, January 18, 2016
under their "Normal" calculation.
Tuesday, March 16, 2032 under their "Optimistic" calculation
"Pessimistic" and "Sadistic" say I've been gone for over 16 years.
Maybe thats why I feel so bad all the time.
FIREFOX RULES!Firefox Eats Internet Explorer
I played with IE-7 and Firefox 2.0. IE-7 is a vast improvement over prior versions but doesn't even begin to approach the capabilities of Firefox.
I know that people are set in their ways and hate to change. Since IE-7 is so different from its ancestry and you'll have to learn how to use their new browser as if you were a "gnubee", doesn't it make sense to just download and upgrade to the BEST browser on the web. Firefox will work with Macintosh, Linux and Windows XP operating systems. And using "tabbed browsing" makes working on the World Wide Web so much easier.
To either get Firefox 2.o, or to upgrade your current version, just click the link on the sidebar.

DINNER DATEFor our regular Monday night dinner date, I took Judy to
The Shops At Wailea. We ate at
CHEESEBURGER.
You are greeted by their very friendly staff
If you agree to the 'House Rules" you can enter and have a drink at the bar or be seated at your table.
Part of a chain of restaurants, the original two being called
CHEESEBURGERS IN PARADISE, after the Jimmy Buffet song. Those first two (Lahaina and Honolulu) are the only ones licensed to use the song title.
We were walking through
The Shops after dinner and I spotted a Raggedy Ann doll walk into the
Elan Vitale store.
Turned out that Judy knew the manager at Elan Vitale. So while the two ladies did a brief "touch base" with each other, I grabbed a couple of shots.
Really unique wall hangings in this section.
The sales tax (4.167%) alone, on the cheapest item there, was out of my price range.
DOPPELGANGERThe past few weeks with Blogger/Blogspot have been very frustrating for all of us. Owned by Google, you think that the parent company would spend enough money so the 10 million of us who make Blogger the 18th most visited website on the net would be "happy campers". Its not like they are running on a tight budget. They just spent over $1 BILLION to buy YouTube.
My irritation made me create a "mirror" site using Blogger-BETA.
Everytime I make a post here, I'll duplicate it on the BETA system site (which, BTW, never experienced the outages that their "original recipe" had)
The URL is:
http://paradisedriver.blogspot.comSo if you "bookmark" or 'save to favorites" you'll have a second access point.
Both sites look the same.
THE PICTURE GALLERYThis is the last of the group of images that I have been presenting of aerial shots of the coastline of south Mau'i.
