There are, of course, many useful tools available on the web. However this morning I discovered one via Dave Wineberger's Joho the Blog site that points to a site where you can type in your zip code and locate the gas station in your area with the lowest gas prices. I think this is very cool. There's a disclaimer on the site that says ...
Last night we finally got some snow here in Knoxville and though it wasn't much, I couldn't resist capturing it «for posterity.» This picture, taken at about 7:15 a.m. with ambient light, is from in front of my house facing east toward the sunrise. As you can see, this is the kind of snowfall that looks pretty but doesn't interfere with travel, which is one of my prerequisites for a «good» snowfall.
Thanks to my friend, Paul Moor, for passing along this link to a delightful site called «Tarzan's Tripes Forever and Other Feghoots,» an assemblage of Shaggy Dog stories and other humor, maintained since 1995 by the father and son team of Alan and Brian Combs. This quote is from their 1995 introduction to the site:
I've just completed a Skype call of about an hour and a quarter with my friend, Juan Gutierrez, in which he observed that my blogging has dropped off of late. Like many of you, he checks my blog periodically to see whether 1) I've written anything and 2) whether what I have written is of any interest to him.
Dave Winer has an interesting piece on friendship that I recommend to you. It sparked a number of comments that are also interesting, so don't overlook those. And others have riffed on the idea. Also recommended to get the ole brain working this Monday morning.
I'm interested in locating any other Flock users here in Knoxville.
On Sunday, January 15, I drove to Carole's home in Lula, GA, to surprise her and help celebrate her birthday. It's the first time I've been down to Georgia in many months, and I did catch her by surprise. We went out in search of a Greek dinner on Tuesday night but when we got to the restaurant, we found it closed because it is only open for dinner from Thursday through Sunday. So despite the fact that we had gotten all geared up for a Greek dinner, we went to a restaurant down the street called Seabones and had a very nice seafood dinner there. I came back home yesterday. While I was in Georgia I didn't have access to the Internet, so if I missed contacting you, my apologies.
Please forgive me as I entertain myself with a romp through my mind.
Hugh (Buck) Thompson, Jr. died of cancer yesterday in a veteran's hospital in Alexandria, Louisana.
