Are you ready for this? Elvis and John Belushi met up with two women and took them to a bar in Crystal Minnesota, suburb of Minneapolis. At the bar Elvis and John got into an argument and ran outside where Elvis tripped and fell. 911 was called for a man down and arrived on the scene to help Elvis. At that time John Belushi sold the car of the women they brought to the bar. Police then chased Belushi to the little, local airport where they had a high speed (75mph) chase for ten minutes and then Belushi hid in a hanger and was found and arrested.

I heard on the news this morning that this was going to be our last nice day for a while. Maybe even our last 65+ day of the year! So I put on my shorts and my t-shirt and off to work I went. When I got to my car it was all dewey so I ran the windshield wipers and it didn’t come off. It was frost! I sat in my car, with the heat on and the de-frost going to clear the windows. I didn’t want to get out in the cold to scrape off my windows. Hopefully it does worm up today but so far I’m not impressed.

… for Colorado for a few days. She’s got work to do out there. (that’s what happens when you are so smart, they send you places) So it’s just me and the cat for a few days. It’s so quiet and lonely but we’ll survive. Yesterday, after she left, I went to the Mall of America and checked out the new iMacs at the Apple store. They are so nice. I love the all-in-one idea! Course I liked the old design too. Still do. Maybe I’ll save up my adsence pennies and buy one some day! Otherwise, while she’s gone, I have a bunch of web sites to update and things to get accomplished. Don’t know if I can get everything done, but a good start is all I really need. Oh yea, I need to pay bills too.

We went to the Crystal Care Center Annual Gala last night and had a wonderful time. They had dinner, a silent auction, door prizes, raffle and a live auction. Much to our surprise we won a two night stay at Harrah’s Las Vegas in the silent auction! In the live auction we bided on bowling for 60 and 10 dozen Christmas cookies but we didn’t win either. We wanted to bid on a night at the Minneapolis Grand Hotel but that was way out of our price range. They had other great items too like Vikings tickets, Twins tickets, Timberwolves tickets, house cleaning, babysitting, lawn services and more.

Anyone know if there is a Lynx browser for the Mac? I have found and online version that works pretty good, but I’d still like my own application. For those who don’t know, like me five minutes ago, a Lynx browser shows you what a search engine spider supposedly sees. Not sure how true that is but it give me a different view at the sites I’m creating. Which, I now see need some BIG updates.

Trees Are On Fire! Oh wait, nope they aren’t. It’s just the fall colors. Bright yellows, reds, oranges and golds. It’s amazing how nature can do that. They’ve been changing a little bit the past few weeks but today I noticed a bright red tree outside our building. I’ll have to go on a walk sometime and see if I can’t get some good pictures. Now is a good time to go to the Minnesota Arboretum as they have lots of trees with no city. Nice.

Every wish you could access or create Apple iCal calendars on other machines? You can! Mozilla has the Calendar project going on. “We are striving to build a cross-platform fully standards based calendar client based on the open iCal standard.”- Mozilla What it does is adds a calendar app to Mozilla products. This app then can read and create .ics files, or otherwise know as iCal files. I have iCal calendars published on a WebDAV server (Spymac) and I was able to subscribe to them in the Mozilla Calendar. Everything showed up great! One thing to keep in mind is the Mozilla Calendar is in beta so bugs are there and it doesn’t look as slick as FireFox’s interface. However there is an entire calendar, events, alarms and more available. All completely compatible with Apple’s iCal and usable on Mac, Windows and Linux running Mozilla, Firefox, Thunderbird or Netscape. Oh and it’s free!

I visit the Apple web site a few times a day and I’ve started getting this message [an error occurred while processing this directive] Not sure what it means but a few refreshes and it was gone. Odd I tell ya.

So far so good. The Minnesota Twins are up 1 game to 0 after a 2-0 shut out last night in New York. [insert homer hankey wave here]

I love this time of year in Minnesota. The weather is constantly changing. There was frost on my car this morning (which thankfully I didn’t have to scrape) and it’s to get up to about 70 today. Don’t like that? Just wait. Tomorrow maybe 80! Still not a fan? Well how about 60s for highs on Thursday? What about next week? Who knows. Maybe 85 maybe 55, we’ll have to wait and see.
