My message board and programming days are long gone. I'm over the hill in both departments. Hey!!! Aren't I about 5-6 years more ancient than you? <g> I think the long hours may have retired about 50% of my brain cells. As they've done to me. I've noticed a tendency now to ramble on and on about nothing in particular and make the occasional redundant comments. I've also observed that I sometimes go off-topic (not just away from the topic -- I mean having no topic; topicless, as it were) and say the same thing twice but in different ways.

I like Yahoo purely as an investment here sub $10. I think I told you a long time ago that we had two orange tom kittens from the same litter and named them Yahoo and GNET. This was years ago. What I don't think I mentioned was that one morning a neighbor called and asked if we were missing an orange cat because they just saw another neighbor's dog carrying a lifeless orange cat in its mouth. Yep, we called all the cats and Yahoo was the only orange one to show up. We never saw GNET again. We used to call that dog "Pull" because I'd shoot at it every time I saw it on my property, but later named it "InfoSpace" since it had gobbled up GNET and... Well, you get the picture. I'm not a bad shot, so suspect I was hitting it. Problem is it was a really big, mean dog and I was just shooting it with a .22. I'm not even gonna ponder the real-life parallels there. What made me think to write this post is that when I went outside this morning, I was immediately surrounded by our roughly a dozen cats, all looking for their morning meal. At the forefront was Yahoo. A few years old now, battle-scarred, and one tough kitty. Definitely the ruler of the roost. It's amazing how two separate realities can mirror each other so well. I'll be sure to post here if anything ever happens to "Yahoo Kitty". Edit: The guy who owned that dog finally moved out a couple of years ago. "Infospace" had also killed a couple of small neighborhood dogs, including my mother-in-law's beloved "Banjo" who was spending the weekend once, and one time his Siberian Huskies got loose and mortally wounded a neighbor's mule. Really glad he's gone. I guess that's another parallel. I'm no longer "living with" either "InfoSpace".
