Star Wars

It is incredible how those Star Wars films stand the test of time. I introduced my boys to them last year and they love them.

BERMUDA

Charlesd45...Yes, I took a cruise on the Norwegian Dawn out of Manhattan...Very nice, the boat stayed in Bermuda for three days so you had plenty of time to explore and enjoy the island.

Thanks for the info.Still plan on doing that cruise in the near future.I guess there is a lot to see if you were there for 3 days?Been to most places in the Caribbean.Have also done the Alaska and Hawaii cruise.All of them were nice but Alaska is my number 1.

California In The Dumps:

It is a sad commentary that our governor, aka "The Terminator", was smiling recently when he cut over $6 million dollars from a program for the developmentally delayed under three years of age. Isn't Arnie one of the leaders of the Special Olympics? How stupid.

Should have been watching my post count

LoL Lost access to red light camera just before my big trip. Well, I think I was able to d/l it the week before. I really have to post more, but not "into" GPS's like I was when I first got one. It kind of wore off, and now I see it as a tool and not a toy. I don't join a "Socket Forum" or a "Hammer forum" (Maybe MC Hammer? LoL) I don't have any problems with my GPS, kind of wish it had more internal room, can't load all the great POI's I have d/l from here in the past year. I also upgraded to the new 2010 maps, but won't see how much really has changed since 2008. (Even though I had installed 2009, I didn't go on vacation last year. When I get back I will try to remember to stop here and say if the 2 errors I had on 2008 was gone or not.

Joke for today.

A hooded robber burst into a Texas Bank and forced the tellers to load a sack full of cash.
On his way out the door a brave Texas customer grabbed the hood and pulled it off revealing the robber's face.The robber shot the customer without a moment's hesitation.
He then looked around the bank and noticed one of the tellers looking straight at him.The robber instantly shot him also.Everyone else, by now very scared, looked intently down at the floor in silence.The Robber yelled, "Well, did anyone else see my face?"There are a few moments of utter silence, in which everyone was plainly afraid to speak.Then one old man tentatively raised his hand and said, "I think my wife may have caught a glimpse of you."

A brave Texas customer would have pulled their own weapon, and have taken the robber out in self defense. Set the story in LA CA and I'd believe it. smile
