Jim, you asked in the sidebar there about my front bumper. Remember, this is what happened to my front bumper:

Raymond looked up to Charlie a whole lot. They were first cousins and

and had to drag it out here. This is a photo unearthed in the recent scanning frenzy. I remember buying that half gallon of milk Jimmie’s drinking. This is 30 years ago in Houston, Jimmie’s in front of what’s left of the pen and inks she drew in high school and Granny’s plaques. We were selling those drawings for 8 and 10 bucks. And we were probably passing out little flyers for our art gallery. I think the average price on one of Granny’s plagues was $25. They came from Granny’s art gallery. All priceless. If I could go back in time I would put on a disguise and buy all of that stuff from her. Might not need a disguise, she probably won’t recognize me. I gotta work out these last few kinks in the time machine. I don’t know why I’m thinking about this, I guess the photo brought it up.

I like the octopi, too…

you have to listen all the way through. Bulbous Bouffant.

John, I don’t know if anybody else has forwarded this to you yet. This was sent by my Aunt Gini. Hope all is well,

Would somebody forward this to WhippleWorld - and anybody else that might be interested? We are on our way tomorrow to the East Coast and will try to find and photograph the gravestones of Capt. John Whipple and his wife Sarah in Providence. He was our first Whipple ancestor in America. These websites are interesting.

Thanks,
Gini

Chihuly video.

you have to stop and take just a second to savor the fact that it’s pronounced “Ba-Na-Ner”. Maybe you have to be a Three Stooges Fan (i.e. male) to love that as much as you should. I’ve used banana a bunch (gotcha Taylor) in the past as a stand alone program but now they have it automated online. Can’t beat it, just type in your flickr user name and it creates a link to a great slideshow. You can then email that URL to somebody for them to see your photos in style. Scope out this one. I’m not kidding, it takes 2 seconds to do. Here’s the website. You can make them of your own or anybody’s public photos, even one of a specific set of photos. I can click on a snake photo in the Whippleworld flickr zeitgeist, see that it’s set number is 1775713 and paste that into that website’s interface and within seconds end up with this URL http://www.bananr.com/1775713 It makes the best looking, easiest to share slideshows I’ve seen. It’ll even generate the code to embed the slideshow into your website but I haven’t played with that yet.
