24 July 2008 / Thursday -- I decided to start a new 2008 YES page -- the first one was getting kinda over crowded already.
Sunday night, 13 July I had a VERY surprise telephone call from sister dearest -- it was the FIRST [and only] call she ever made to me -- my Uncle Ray, my Mom's brother, died on 10 July -- the viewing was about an hour north of me the following Tuesday -- on Monday I got an email from his son -- I called him the next day and said that I would very much like to attend, BUT the Honda is packed full of heavy boxes of things [with NO place else to put them] and I would be worried that it would break down along the road [I do not have a cell phone either]. I called my brother several times but there was no answer -- they must be on vacation, I assume.
I found the web site of the funeral home which had the following death notice ...

"A Life Well Lived Is Worth Remembering"
On the 14 July the super duper government -- -- finally arrived -- JHC, I can now go out and buy a luxury home along the beach and an energy efficient Mercedes with all that moola! DREAM ON -- with 600 clams, what can one buy these days?
Over the past few weeks I became interested in the new Presidential Dollar coin rolls -- they come directly from the mint that coined them -- not too frequently one may find a misstrike in the unopened roll that could be worth hundreds of dollars -- they are designated BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED by collectors and are already going on eBay for over ten clams more than the initial cost of $25. They are supposed to be issued four / year -- the following are the ones which appeared thus far -- in 2007 they include George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison -- this year they include James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson and Martin van Buren -- the last two have not appeared yet They are gold colored with the face of the prezzy on the front and the Statue of Liberty on the back -- I have two rolls of each EXCEPT the second in the series, John Adams -- click on the following scan for a larger view of the first four rolls
only a couple local banks seem to have a limited number of full mint rolls available -- I should look around for other branches in ratty neighborhoods that may have what I am missing.
Irwin's Tobacco and Candy warehouse across the street from me has finally been sold [it was mentioned many times in previous YES pages over the last several years] -- a Nigerian husband and wife bought it for an antique gallery! They told me they had an interest in my property, a former very successful art / antique gallery -- they called several times BUT the dumb Verizon phone service was faulty and I never got their messages. For several weeks they have had workers repairing MUCH of the inside / outside of the building -- the former owners did a really makeshift sloppy job of making the inside almost appear quasi presentable -- it still was a disaster inside -- the exterior was worse -- the roof leaked, the roof drain pipes were rusted and / or missing [when it rained the outside walls became waterlogged, large chunks of stucco fell off], the sidewalk is still in shambles, tall weeds flourish along the open spaces. They have yet to knock out a large part of the solid concrete front of the building to add display windows. The most unfortunate thing about this matter is that they could have bought my place, which is in great shape, and filled with stuff to sell for about what they are spending on the dump across the street!
Mark, a virtual pal in Las Vegas, contacted me that he had another Apple 20 inch flat screen iMac, old version, to sell -- it was cheap enough so I got it to replace the last model eMac that sits to the left of my current old model iMac --
I need the old model because it can still run legacy applications in Classic Mode, which are basically what I use on a daily basis -- the newer models have a radically different operating system [I call it BLOATED -- too many bells and whistles that only the programmers understand / know how to use]. The old eMac is heavy as hell [I had a VERY difficult time getting it up the box filled narrow entrance stairway after I bought it new about three years ago], so it is still sitting here on my computer table until I get the energy to schlep it down stairs / pack it in its original box / stash it out of the way in the basement somewhere. So the new iMac is sitting on the bathroom counter top -- -- waiting for an empty space on my table top -- a closer view -- -- it is in apparently perfect condition, not even a scratch on it -- it has Bluetooth / AirPort / modem built in [the newer models have an external modem as an accessory at additional cost] -- I watched a DVD movie on it already -- I programmed it to boot in Classic at startup. I also thought of OPTION 2, which would save me the probably LONG wait to move the eMac to the basement -- Horacio in Tenerife told me on Skype recently that he always wanted an Apple computer BUT they do not sell them in the islands -- I could sell it to him at the same price I paid [plus shipping, of course], and forget about this dumb heavy eMac for the present. I shall wait until he reads this page to see my offer, and then figure out what I will do.
Yesterday was the court hearing about my slight accident -- since I want to plead NOT GUILTY, because the bitch was yapping on her cell phone [which is illegal here] when she stopped VERY fast in the middle of slow traffic on a bridge, the case will be set for a future date.
Ohhhh, and I almost forgot -- I found a kewlio web site where you can make animated gif [and plain old jpeg] images that you can use as avatars on social networking sites and elsewhere -- they can be downloaded to your computer and put anywhere you want to use them -- a small version of the first one I made is at the top of this page -- here is a larger version of the above and the second one I made --
If you are interested in making your own, go to MEEZ.COM -- there are many different body types / clothes / activities that you can add to your basic template -- have some fun -- that is what these dumb computer gizmos were made for
Countdown to Labor Day
God Bless !
