Pleasant day today and I hope it continues that way for the rest of the week because I'm going to Wales. My sister has wi fi at long last so hopefully I won't be incommunicado (wherever that is).

The plane trip consumed my entire day. Well, that is not quite true. I got to the hotel at around seven, but I was totally burned out. I took some pain pills watched some TV, and then I crashed. Now, I am checked out, I have dirty carpet pictures for Laura, and I am waiting for the shuttle to the ship. Then I can relax.

One of the first things that's going to change around here and I may even try to change instantly, is for new registrations having to use a code before they can click - you know, one of those random six letters and numbers things you see everywhere these days - that is the only way to stop these disgusting and endless spam registrations - I nuke on average sixty a day - maybe more - and I'm tired of it.

And no sign of dear reader George since Friday. Very unlike him and I hope everything's okay.

George has double shows all weekend.

Good morning, all!

I am very unhappy with my mouse trap purchase. That blasted rodent is laughing at me! I am beginning to feel like Tom chasing Jerry and failing at every turn. I must plan a new course of action.

I will take walk up Broadway today and see if that photo store on 88th Street still exists and still does passport photos. I am determined to send my passport application off tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest.

It will be a quiet day and that's fine with me.

More coffee, s'il vous plait!

Elmore, do you have Walgreens there? They take passport photos...and damn good ones.

TCB posted from the Big Easy about dirty pictures? I read it on my blackberry.

oh wait, dirty carpet pictures, oh, that's better.

FJL · « **Reply #43 on:** April 21, 2013, 10:27:01 AM »

TCB - Will you be able to read and post from the ship?

FJL · « **Reply #44 on:** April 21, 2013, 10:27:47 AM »

Weren't Big Easy and Little Easy characters in Grey Gardens?

Guess I'll go jog in a little while.

We have Walgreens in Manhattan but I don't know if any are up by Larry.

Believe me, I'm not trying to be a jerk about this, but CAPTCHAs are NOT 100 percent effective. They will certainly reduce the number of spambot registrations but the CAPTCHA will not stop all spambots. There are actually companies that employ people to break the CAPTCHAs which then allows the spambot to continue the registration. Here are some articles about CAPTCHAs and spambots and how they work (or don't work).

CAPTCHA 1

CAPTCHA 2

CAPTCHA 3

CAPTCHA 4

I have a memory there's one at Amsterdam and 86th. Maybe it's a CVS? The photo place at 88th and Broadway is no more, dammit!

I'll find a place tomorrow.

Today I cooked lamb chops with cauliflower cheese and mashed potatoes, which was extremely delicious - and I'm having the same tomorrow!

Back from a three-mile jog in the new running shoes - they took about half the run to get used to but I think they're fine now.

John G -Are there people who write about food, get the food free - but don;t have to actually express an opinion about it - just report about it factually in the press?

I'm sure there are. I think that would be more magazine writing than newspapers. There seems to be one such person at San Antonio Magazine. She also edits the local Zagat book and needs to know the restaurants without writing about them.

Great photos, JRand. Thanks for sharing them.

Just back from an hour long deep-tissue massage. It was quite nice. I think I'm going to go drink some water and take a nap.

George · « **Reply #59 on:** April 21, 2013, 12:18:02 PM »

Well, since we're so close...
