Decided to go for my yearly look-in at Useless Usenet today just to see if anything has changed. Of the 1800+ messages in my 6 subscribed groups, I would estimate that 1780+ were spam. One group only had about 15 messages but about 10 of them were spam messages that appeared in every group. Conclusion: Nothing has changed. I'll check back next year.
The Brett Favre saga continues. It says here that it cannot end well for Favre, the Packers, or any team he's traded to. He's going to be a giant distraction wherever he ends up.
I offer one today from the CrabAppleLane scanner:

Postcard from a thoughtful friend - July 27, 2008 - Postmarked June 11, 2008 - I hadn't gotten around to thanking her ... until now. She's on an ambitious quest to visit and photograph all 50 state capitols.
About today's QOTD: Tried to open the cabin door.
39 days until football season ...
Quote of the Day
Two drunken British women went on a rampage on a charter plane, hitting one flight attendant with a bottle of vodka and trying to open a cabin door as the aircraft was cruising over Austria at 10,000 meters (32,800 feet), police said Saturday.

Blog of the day here.
Quote from said blog: "Eric Camp sent us a photo of Willie Nelson at last night's blockbuster pairing with B.B. King at the Riverfest Amphitheatre."



That looks familiar! Only 38 more capitols to go. lol
Really? Just a little over a month until football season? Hooray!
Loved the card. The photographer, Matt Bradley, did an excellent job. What looks like dirt or smudges to the right of the Capitol is actually the postmark coming through from the other side. Thanks again, Kim.
