I feel like lukewarm hell, and the coffeemaker is still broken.

Woah. I actually won the football pool this week. I'm eight dollars richer. I can go get a cup of coffee.

This was pointed out to me and I believe it's from the toolband.com newsletter. It's quite interesting.

"MIKE PATTON OF FANTOMAS was recently detained for hours and strip-searched at a Florida airport for carrying a lot of... cash. Evidently, instead of buying new "voting machines" the state has spent it's funds on airport detection units that are able to determine how much cash a person is carrying as they enter the terminal area.

This new technology somehow works in consort with microchips incorporated into recently minted U.S. paper currency. It's all part of Florida's war against drug smuggling. And why did Mike have so much cash on him? Well, it turns out he was on his way to purchase an old book about the Coral Castle that contained a note stuck inside written by Ed Leedskalnin, the enigmatic builder of the mysterious tourist attraction. For those unfamiliar with this incredible engineering feat, the Coral Castle complex is located on 10 acres of land just south of Miami. Although the "Castle" has been equated with Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid of Giza, it has been well documented that no one ever witnessed Ed's labor, which he carried out secretly at night, working by himself despite the fact that the blocks of coral used weighed many tons. An immigrant from Latvia, Ed later claimed to have discovered the secret methods used by the ancient Egyptians to erect the pyramids. Whatever it was, he took the secret to his grave, although before his death, he published five books. It was one of these, a book on magnetic currents that Mike was planning to buy, not for the book itself, but for the cryptic note found inside. Apparently, this went into some detail about his ability to defy gravity that was not published in his books. However, when Mike went to the pre-arranged meeting place, the person selling the book never showed up. Even stranger, the person's phone has been disconnected and Mike hasn't been able to contact him or her since."

Somehow Bill miscounted my game ballot and I actually missed two more games than he had scored. I didn't realize it until Mike and I were talking and I looked again, but I pointed it out and forked the 8 dorrahs over.

I got a luffly cd in the mail from Tala though. THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To Infinity...and beyond!!!
