Do you like it like this, or like this..



I revived this old post because once again the Hastings motion pool has been stripped of vegetation (with one exception see next post).  WPRF Please bring back a dry arrangement.
"Hastings Motion Pool. Where did the Grecian urns go?
I much prefered the urns, they were easy care and you just sink them in the water for hurricanes. The plants may look good in this pic but they get weedy and baked, and need constant care."

The terra cotta pots were installed when Hastings was first built, smart solution.

TOO MUCH INFORMATION

While I work on a machine with a terabyte of memory, this article talks about computers that have zettabytes. What's that? About 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes (that bites!). If you remember the telemovie Pixel Perfect, it introduced you to the term "zettabytes." Here's a clip:

Tips from All You Magazine

All You magazine is published by Time and sold at Wal-Mart. They have a website (the AP allows me to say that in addition to Web site) in addition to their monthly periodical, containing enough coupons to save you substantial money. Here are some tips from a back issue:
  • Microwave ovens consume less power than real ovens.
  • Laptop computers consume less power than desktop models.
  • Eating sugary foods in the morning is a gateway to eat more later on in the day.
  • If you need one or two items like milk and you need gas, don't discount the mini-store inside the gas station.

Real ID Rules for Real

Florida dictates that they're following the federal "Real ID" rules for driver's licenses and DMV-issued ID cards (don't believe me, click the cursor here). They include: Bring your Social Security card, your birth certificate and two items mailed to your address. These requirements are required whether you are applying for the first time or renewing.

Lukewarm Dogs

The bottom story (click here): Pediatricians want a surgeon general warning on hot dogs because they can cause a choking hazard for kids (some want them redesigned so they're bigger). No wonder Duffy's serves their hot dogs split in half!
