I just noticed that carriage returns i type in the edit box of a new blog message. Do not translate to th message once it's posted on the website. you probably already know this and don't care, or have a reason to not have them come through.

Thats a Micosoft IE thing. Firefox, Safari, and Netscape all use it now.
You have to enter SHIFT ENTER for a carriage return.
This interface is a javascript call that causes a text box to handle as if it were like a word document.
I stole the code.
There's a lot of odd things about it too.
Sometimes, if the focus gets confused, entering a space in the text box causes it to toggle from text to display mode.
Oddly enough, MySpace and some other sites use the exact same code.
I think its annoying to have to enter SHIFT ENTER for a carraige return!
I have to do that in some Word documents too. hmmm.
Its kind of like having to enter ALT ENTER in an Excel's spreadsheet text box to get your heading in to be two lines.
And it seems like, at work, if I enter SHIFT ENTER in outlook, it will just send my email before I'm done..youch.

Hi Jim & Becky We will be camping in columbus IN this weekend staying Friday-monday morning. It's called the Columbus woods-n-water Kampground. You're invited to come hang out with us 1 or 2 days or all of the weekend. I still have your new air mattress in the box. :-)

We have an Air Couch now!!! Its a bed too.
I think that sounds GREAT!!!
I'll talk to Becky about it tommorrow. I think she'd love to go camping.
It looks like its at:
8855 S 300 W Columbus, Indiana 47201 , (812) 342-1619 , WoodsnWater

were they rubber gloves? weird that you can't take a picture of a tank. Iv'e been on that base in the past to golf and have never as much seen any military guys.

Yea, they were flexible, rubber gloves. Thats what I don't get.
And according to Maps.Google.Com, there's a golf course right next to that entrance.
Maybe they thought my camera's flash was some kind of evil death ray haha.
I'd bet their thinking was base on an anti-terrorist activity strategy.
Maybe they were afraid of their identities being revealed.

Very Nice Thank You Jim & Becky

Rod and Jessica swung by after they got out of church this morning.

The zoo was nice, but it was a lot of walking. Thats why you don't see my picture in here.
I think I melted somewhere along the way. At $11 a ticket, its one of the best deals in Louisville.
We left the zoo, drove around for an hour, then went to a Bats baseball game.

If we went yesterday, we could have seen Herman's Hermits!
I heard they got captured, and were put on exhibit.
They were singing their number one hits, like:
"Mrs Brown you've got a lovely Orangutan"
"Something tells me I FELL into something good"
"Silhouettes on the Cage"
"There's a kind of a hush, all over the Zoo"
And last but not least: "I'm Henry the Ape, I am"
To those of you who didn't blow out a candle when the light bulb was invented,
Those were English/American hits sung by the Herman's Hermits in the 60's.
Life back then was all about Peace, Love, Go Go Boots and Mini Skirts!
(I just loved the boots and skirts, cause I was a pubescent kid and we didn't have the XBox)
Can ya dig it?
They Were Really Groovy Man!
That band was Really Far Out! 
They were a Trip, cause those Cats were Swinging, dude!

We took off Saturday morning to meet Rod, Resee and Jessica at the campground.
On the way, we picked some fold out popason chairs.
I thought it would be funny to use living room furniture for camping. "You know you're a redneck when there's a couch in your front yard".
It was fun bopping around the park
I decided I'd drink beer while hanging out. That added antics to the adventure.
Rod took the golf cart through the woods on to a highway! That was incredible.
He wanted to see if he could get the cart out of the park.
Jessica and I went fishing
However, I spent almost all of the time straightening up the line. I didn't succeed though. My beer hangover messed up my vision, so the 2 beer max rule is back in effect.
I was so tired the whole time.
I hope I wasn't too much of a putz. I just barely made the 60 minute drive.
My whole body is sore from all the activities in the last few weeks.
And I've got a killer toothache. We took off at 2pm Sunday, and  I have got to slow things down. After frantically jogging around the city trying to find a notary and a Fed Ex at 4pm on Friday, I thought I couldn't take any more. I was wrong.  I guess self abuse has no limit.
We drove through an incredible storm on the way back. Visibility was 5 to 20 feet.
I had too pull over, which was a blessing. I kept fading in and out. 
I just couldn't get any sleep. Kept having nightmares, and my dreams are almost always beautiful.
But all of that aside, it was fun weekend.
Its too bad we couldn't have stayed for the rides at Holiday Park.
I think next time, we'll plan things better and rent an air conditioned cabin or travel trailer.

you didn't drink to much, just don't fish when your vision is blurred! silly boy .. you need to stick to things that are relative to the number of beers you have had.. fishing after more than 15 beers is not the right thing :-). On the other hand  don't get up and have another beer the next morning. get up eat some real good breakfast and take a nap.. you  feel like a new man after that. :-) All in all it was great to have you with us for the weekend
