That was for Ebay.com – the giant online auction house. The text of it was generated in response to the content of this site, in hope of that it would appeal to visitors here. I think their coding needs a bit more work!
Just finished the basic upgrade to WordPress 1.5 on this site. A few things don’t quite look right but basically all seems to be well. A new look that will be customized as time goes on.
I’ve been using Jiffy Lube for oil changes, state inspections and such for many years. Over the years they have messed up a few times. They have left the oil drain plug loose, they have left the oil filter loose. No big deal, a few stains in the driveway but they tighten things up and all is well.

We drove down and started the vacation in Orlando. Arriving in the morning we went to SeaWorld and waited at the gate for them to open.

I really think these 2 links sum it up. The later photo is over 600k and not for those with weak stomachs. In all seriousness, my heart and donations go out to these people.
The despair
The horror (view it full size and look at the floating debris)
OK … how does this thing work?
Well, everyone else seems to have one so it’s time I set myself up with one too. If for no other reason than just to vent now and and then.
