Add sodium.

You might be on to something there. Have you read this morning's headline?

Awesome shots Ricardo! Thanks for putting them up... and taking them as well. They will be a good addition to the photo album.

By the way, as I flipped from the last page to this one, my screen went all white! Yuck! What was the secret code to get it back the way it was? Did Paul make the change because he felt the black background was using up too much toner?

The old black is gone, but you can change the new style to black. I hate it, but it seems it's here to stay. More reason to join the Mazda boards

Right down at the bottom of the screen, there's a dropdown list - says "MINI2" now, but you can change it to "Black" or "Black Wide"; don't know why it all just changed - presumably Pauls doing live updates

Changing it to black no longer brings it all back. It's black but with all the white artwork. I think Paul needs a mass kicking. This is painful.

He's committed to this design. Already stated he's not bringing the old design back. Looks like we're stuck with it.

Didn't know where else to put this..

MINI owners in Dubai can now rejoice.. they have a great new place for their MINI runs:

The World Greatest Driving Road » - AhSoon é˜¿é*†

Edmund's version:
Inside Line tests a Mini Convertible on the world's greatest driving road.

Amazing what a difference 24 hours makes. Yesterday was a day of crap, today everything worked out right. Got word that the new place received my resume and heard from an inside source that mine blows the rest out of the water. Started tutoring today and helped out a lovely girl with her pre-algebra. I'll be assigned several kids to work with exclusively for tutoring, and assigned another group for college counselling. I'm already home and I'm trying to think of something to do. Tempted to wash the car, but it's supposed to rain on Thursday so that seems kind of pointless. I guess I could work on that bridge I'm supposed to be building for the mini-golf course....

They have a golf course just for Minis? Do you have to drive it through the clown's mouth? Do you get to use Minis for golf carts? Cool!!

Glad your day was better - you deserve a few breaks (how 'bout an arm?).

With one arm?

Oh, you're a regular comedian, aren't you?

Who? Me or OldPaint? I'm an irregular comedian, unlike Secco and Jock, who seem quite taken with their regularity. People say my face is my best punch line, er - was that what they wanted to punch??

In my real job, I sell imaging and document management software. Since my territory is the East and West Coast, I use web meeting software to demonstrate our solutions. It is really a great tool, and keeps travel to a minimum. An added bonus is they can't see my face!
In a bit of cosmic Karma today - I was demonstrating to a company near and dear to our hearts - The Yankee Candle Company in S. Deerfield! I told them I visited their parking lot and rest rooms in June - not sure if theat scored me any brownie (or calzone) points.
