Airport Security Suggestion.... An engineer (ex-NASA project director) has what I think is
the near perfect solution for airport security!
*Here's a solution to all the controversy over full-body
scanners at the airports. Have a booth that you can step into
that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device
you may have on you.*
*It would be a win-win for everyone, and there would be none of this
[blip] about racial profiling and this method would eliminate a long
and expensive trial. Justice would be quick and swift..*
*Case Closed!*

During a recent password audit, it was found that a blonde was using the following password: "MickeyMinniePlutoHueyLouieDeweyDonaldGoofySacramento"
When asked why she had such a long password, she said she was told that it had to be at least 8 characters long and include at least one capital.

Peter Marshall: Which of your five senses tends to diminish as you get older?
Charley Weaver: My sense of decency.
Charley Weaver had the distinction of being the only one of the show's permanent regulars...to be, in fact a character. He was played by Cliff Arquette, the unlikely patriarch of an acting family. (He's the father of Lewis and--believe it or not--grandfather of Rosanna, Patricia and David.) But this was a character that linked the Squares to television's earliest days. Arquette played his Charley Weaver character as a regular on The Dennis Day Show, The Tonight Show (during the Jack Paar years), and the 1962 incarnation of The Roy Rogers/Dale Evans Show. He also popped up in that character in guest shots on shows ranging from Dragnet to The Andy Williams Show. If the Squares were a party, Charley would be the grandfather your parents left to watch after you...then when they left, he might get a couple of drinks in him and tell you every dirty joke he's ever heard.
Arquette was born in Toledo, Ohio in December 1905, but it's the town of Mount Ida, Arkansas that owes its place in American culture to him. That's because his Weaver character developed as a man who was always reading letters from his "Mount Idy Mama." Arquette later said he was inspired by a friend of his mother, who wrote letters from Mount Idy which were read to the whole family. So he often read those in character to Jack Paar or Dennis Day. Arquette also appeared in numerous old-time radio programs, including Fibber McGee & Molly, Lum and Abner and Point Sublime, a 1946 small-town comedy that co-starred Mel Blanc. As "Charley Weaver," Arquette starred in Dave and Charley (1952) as well as a 1955 NBC summer show called Do It Yourself, a combination comedy/how to program that looks like an early forerunner to the fictitious "Tool Time with Tim Taylor" on Home Improvement.
During his later years Arquette, a Civil War buff, owned a Civil War museum in Gettysburg. He also lent his character's name and face to endorsements of garden tools and charcoal briquettes.
Weaver/Arquette was on The Hollywood Squares when it debuted on NBC in October 1966. Except for a nine-month leave of absence in 1973, he stayed on the show until his death in September 1974.
But they haven't entirely forgotten him in Mount Ida, where they still hold a yearly celebration that, until 2000, was called"Charley Weaver Day."

Good morning everyboomie.
I think the groundhog saw a solar eclipse when he came out.
He put a sign on his hole that says 'do not disturb until April'.
We didn't have much of a Winter here until the air conditioners started coming in.
I'm trying to set up AC displays, and everyone is coming in asking, "Where's your heaters? Where's your heaters?"
Ah well I've dealt with crazy weather before. I was once snowed in at Spring Break.
It was a broken Spring that's for sure.
Oooo! Darkness has overtaken my humble abode.
I must retire to my igloo and go to hybernate.
Have a happy day everyone.

We have gotten over 100 hundred inches of Snow and more coming 
feeling pretty good now~
We are expecting more snow tomorrow! Ana sounds like you had a fun time with old friends. Haroula enjoy! Karen how are you? Sending love and hugs your way. 
Not sick or anything, just dinner last night not agreeing with me and restless sleep on top of that. Which means I'll probably have to postpone seeing my mom yet again. This should hopefully be the last time. I have a four day weekend coming up, which gives me plenty of time to not feel badly and not be caught in snow.
