How to…
How to tell you’ve paid too much for your new car.
Reason #85
Your salesman sends you a package of Mrs. Fields cookies as a “thank you”.
They’re good btw.

With a new twist on the eBay scheme of sending faked emails, the IRS has become the victim of criminals who are sending fake snail-mail to trick unsuspecting citizens into handing over their personal information.
The Internal Revenue Service is the latest victim of a hidden crime, identity theft.“Right now, we’re seeing a rash of people who are receiving letters that look like they come from the IRS asking you to fill them out,” Pat Hummer of the IRS said.
The fake letters ask for personal information, such as a social security and bank account number.
The mailing address is not the IRS, but a bogus one, sending your information right into the hand of thieves. [WKYT News]
I picked up a copy of Bill Clinton’s “My Life” over on iTunes the other day. Very interesting readingl listening. I’ve always believed in the skeptical approach of reviewing the evidence before making a decision so it’s very enlightening to hear the story from the other side of the fence (other than major media or political rhetoric) from someone who has nothing to gain now.
Pick it up. You might like it.
Interesting find over at the PR Web feed this morning. Wi-Fi in campgrounds, an idea I’ve been thinking about for a while. Seeing as how I’m only a few minutes from Yosemite I can’t wait to give this a shot and see how it works.
Obstruction Penetrating wireless solution used in Sierra National Forest / Yosemite National Park Area campgrounds
Visitors to the Sierra National Forest / Yosemite National Park will be among the first to have WiFi access in National forest and recreational areas thanks to new, patented antennas from WiFi-Plus, Inc. The remarkable tree and obstruction penetrating qualities of the antennas were selected by Airwave Adventures and combined with Value Point Networks Rugged Access Points, to make a wireless internet available to RVíers in Yosemite National Park area.ěThe rugged design and high power of the Value Point Networks ěSuperAPî ™ and vastly superior tree penetrating ability of the WiFi-Plus antenna, allowed us to protect the environment and satisfy our customers need for wireless connectivity while visiting the park.î said Frank Beard, Communication Consultant for Airwave Adventurers.

Every so often Mother Nature decides to remind us that, even though we’re a 30 something, we’re not immune to pimples.
It’s really not that bad if you’re a woman. There’s concealer, powders, blush, cover-up and any number of things being sold on the TV by Sarah Michelle Gellar to cover that unsightly blemish.
If you’re a guy, however, it’s not a pretty picture. Not only do we not wear makeup (normally) but we also like to drag those little bits of metal with really macho names like “Mach 3″ and “Sensor” across our face. When that happens it’s a recipe for disaster.
You see, pimples are landmines to razors. Once you’ve hit one, there’s a lot of screaming and blood.
That ends my dissertation on this subject. I’ll be back after I get a new tournquet for this pimple.
In the previous post I used the title “Girlie Men Vehicles”. Now, like Arnie, I’m not trying to be offensive to gays or women. “Girlie Men” is a reference to the macho guy of the non-homosexual persuasion who is 45, lives at home with his mommy, watches All in the Family reruns with her everynight instead of hanging out with his friends, drinking beer, or fishing. Commonly heard in a girlie man house are the terms “yes mother”, “no mother”.
Common girlie men: Principal Skinner, Les Nessman, Norman Bates, Vinnie from the Round Table commercials.
Ha! I told you Dodge’s were for girls, Britt. Davezilla’s got the proof.
