Things someone my age shouldn't have to be told:

Some web sites, like SportsIllustrated.com and one of our local news sites, have rotating headlines that include a different graphic or picture for each. The headline and its pic stays up for a few seconds before going on to the next, and so on. If I have multiple tabs open and one of them is a site  with changing headlines, do they change even if I'm looking at another tab? This is like the light in the refrigerator. How can you be sure?

I drove Louise on some errands this afternoon and three different people made comments about how sharp she looked. Alas, none of them were svelte 20-something blondes.
I'm beginning to think '66 Ramblers are not chick magnets.
However, if I'm ever on the hunt for a mid-60's guy with a pot belly....

One of those errands was to the local Toyota-Scion dealer to pick up some parts I'd ordered for Pam's xB. The handle for the rear hatch has broken so I got a new one - they come already painted the proper color - and the clips necessary to make the swap, all for $100. It should be a fairly easy job and a body shop would charge me three times that amount.
Turns out it's typical for Scions to have this problem. The guy said the tC's are the worst. Design flaw.

True story (I read it on the internet, so it has to be):
Years ago a poor Scottish farmer named Fleming was out working in his fields when he heard a young boy's cry. He found the child waist deep in a bog, struggling to free himself. The farmer rescued him from what would have most likely have been a slow death.

The next day a carriage pulled up to Farmer Fleming's house and a wealthy man got out. He asked if Fleming was the man who had saved his son, and when he learned it was he offerred him a sizable reward. Fleming refused, saying he had only done what was right.

At that point Fleming's son came out of their cottage and when the wealthy man learned who it was he made the farmer an offer. "Let me take the boy home and see that he gets the best education possible. If he's anything like his father he'll grow up to be a man of both character and learning."

Years later the farmer's son graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London and became famous as Sir Alexander Fleming - the doctor who discovered Penicillin.

Years later the nobleman's now grown son came down with pneumonia. What saved him? Penicillin.

The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill.
His son? Sir Winston Churchill.
