Computers

Computers - what an invention. They are just great when they work, but when they don't then that is quite another story. I have really been having a huge problem with mine. Spyware has gotten into it and I was unable to do anything at all until I got it out. They say a computer is only as good as the one who puts the information into it but these guys that put virus in computers are really bad guys and I know they don't care how much trouble they cause people but they sure have caused me a lot of trouble.

Cruce Oil Prices Continue to Increase

So what else is new? I just went to the gas station and as went up another 3 cents a gallon. It is about $3 now and by tomorrow I suppose it will be higher yet.I thought I heard they are talking $4 and $5 gasoline by summer. I bet that still won't keep a lot of people home but it will make you stop and think before you drive around without a destination and just sight seeing. This month oil per barrel went over the $100 mark and set a new record but has come down some since then. Who knows what's next?

Starbucks Tries out $2.50 Cup of Coffee

Starbucks Corp is experimenting with a $2.50 cup of coffee that would add a new, premium product to help fight the first drop in U.S. customer visits in its 37 year history. In its hometown of Seattle, Starbucks is testing a 12-ounce cup of what they call fresh pressed coffee at $2.50 each. The price is $2.25 in a Boston trial. Starbucks charges $1.55 for a regular brew. McDonald's Corp has been stealing customers with $1.39 coffee and is challenging Starbucks by adding expresso counters. I don't really care what they do because I make my own coffee in all kinds of flavors and it doesn't cost and arm and a leg to get it. They can keep their fancy coffee. It is too expensive for me anyway.

Moving Companies

I have driven a lot of semis in my day but never a moving van. One thing I do hate and that is moving. It is not a fun thing and when you are done you are aching all over. If you don't have the money to hire someone, you have to round up all the relatives with their pickups to come help you. But fortunately, if your company will pay to move you, or you can afford a moving company yourself, then you can get on the Internet and go to this website moving companies and find a good honest reputable company to move you. That is because they are really strict with their applications for their companies to make sure they are getting good ones for you. They even have negotiated with them in advance for up to 65% discount on your move. Sounds good to me, how about you?

Ice and Snow

Well it dumped on us again last week and we had a real blizzard going. A lot of people ended up in the ditch and I heard there were 23 cars in the ditches on the freeway just by the new casino alone. My nephew works there and he counted them when he went to work. He is flying to New Orleans or I should say he flew here on Sunday and will be back in 3 days. He will get to see some of Katrina's damage. That should be interesting although it is very sad for those who live there.

Kittens

How about a nice bunch of kittens for that farm of yours to help get rid of the mice and rats that seem to keep popping up everywhere. I have a great bunch here that I put out food for every day and they could all use a good warm home in someone's barn. If you could use some cats or kittens, this is the place to come and get them. They keep multiplying all the time it seems. I really enjoy them though. They are fun to watch at play.
