I still enjoy it, but I don't JA>get to as many books as I used to... I multi-task...I read in the bathroom . Or like the cartoon where the individual is on the toilet, and the caption says "Crap!! I forgot my smartphone!!" :P JA>Yeah - Safari does that for me as well. Amazing how many have such weak passwords. Bots have tried to get into the BBS, but with the recent addition of a CAPTCHA routine, they never get there. Before that, Synchronet had a deal where if they logged on with a certain name such as "Root, Sysop, Admin", etc., they were immediately disconnected. JA> DS> callsign...and what another ham thought E.D. actually meant!! . JA>LOL I can relate to "electronic doofus", and to the widely known meaning. JA>LOL - I was in a play in November - that was a first for me! I meant JA>as a musician for years, and as a singer/songwriter for the past several JA>years now. I was in several in high school and college. We had "a co-ed dressing room", but you didn't have time "to take inventory" of the opposite gender. You were trying to change your costume, and be ready to go back on stage again in short order. JA>The one in Bartlett was a couple of weeks ago, but we didn't go. I have JA>fond memories of going there with my wife over a couple of years, but JA>really no reason to go this time. :-) I don't have the money, and the long drives or rides are very hard on me, physically. At least in a Sleeping Car Roomette on Amtrak, I can stretch out, where my legs don't cramp up. JA>We also went to Huntsville a few years ago, but only once. It was fun, JA>but not planning to go back for that. It's just not a major thing for JA>us, for several reasons. Huntsville had far too much walking for me...although I'm nearly 70 poinds lighter now than what I was back then. JA>We are planning to go to Superman Days again in Metropolis in June. JA>Looking forward to that! The Daily Planet will have the blurbs on the prizes, no doubt. JA>We've never ridden on the train - we've talked about it before, JA>but never did it. Our son lives in Indy now, and the train goes to JA>St. Louis. "The Hoosier State" will be DISCONTINUED July 1, so one could only get to Indianapolis from Chicago will be 3 days a week on "The Cardinal". So, make your plans accordingly. "The City Of New Orleans" is the same consist the serves "The Texas Eagle"...the former through Memphis, and the latter through Little Rock...both of those run daily. JA>... I found a piano stool. I thought they were housebroken. Playing too much Rhapsody In Pew. :P Daryl === þ OLX 1.53 þ What you think of me is none of my business. --- SBBSecho 3.07-Win32 * Origin: FIDONet: The Thunderbolt BBS - tbolt.synchro.net (1:19/33) .
