I really like the Land of Lakes little cheese rectangles that you can snack on.  I think that they are a combination of Colby and Jack cheese.  Very tasty.  The only problem is that the package is so hard to open!  It has a little red zip-strip that is supposed to make it easy to open, but I usually get frustrated with it and end up using a pair of scissors to open it.  And that rather defeats the idea of it being a convenient little snack.  I’d like to be able to just toss it in a lunch box and take it with me when I run errands, but I usually end up taking a mini-bon bell cheese instead because they are easier to open!

The poor guy who was struck in the head by the boat propellor is still in critical condition.  The doctors say that it is a miracle he didn’t die instantly!  A quarter-inch one way or the other would have killed him!  As it is, he now has a metal plate in his head for the rest of his life, and he will have a slow recovery.  They say that the part of his brain that was damaged is not one that is “used” for anything “important” so he should be able to function fine after he recovers.  That is good news for sure!  I bet he never tries something that stupid again!

We came home from camp early this weekend. The baby was cranky and the weather was rainy, so we decided to pack it up and come home.

It’s a good thing that we came home when we did because when we got home we found that a tree had been struck by lightning and fallen up against the house.  So we needed the time here to clear up that mess.  It would have been awful to come home late Sunday night to find that when we both had to get up early the next morning!  Isn’t it funny how life throws you a curveball sometimes!  Thankfully there wasn’t any serious damage to the house, just cosmetic stuff.

We had no sooner finished cleaning up that mess than we got a phone call from the boss that he wants us to help teach his daughter how to create her own website. So she’ll be coming over tomorrow and I’ll be working with her, showing her the ropes.

I’ll be helping her to get her own domain, and help her to decide which webhosting service to use. I’ll direct her to take a look at the webhostingrating.com website and read a few of their articles about webhosting and their reviews of which webhosting services would best fit her needs. I think that they are a good resource to turn to when looking at getting a new webhost.  They review hundreds of services, not just a few, so it may take a while!

Then I’ll give her a crash course on using Front Page, and creating a blog

There was a terrible accident on the lake this weekend.  A couple of hot shot teenage boys decided to race each other – one on a jet ski, the other in a motor boat.  The jet ski was winning, but the idiot who was driving it decided to cut in front of the boat.  I don’t know why, maybe to flaunt the fact that he was the winner!  But the skier lost control and fell off of the jet ski and the boat ran right over him!

The propeller of the boat hit the skier in the head.  He is miraculously still alive, but in serious condition at the hospital.  We don’t know if he is going to be all right or not.  I have to wonder if these kids were drunk or under the influence of drugs!  I can’t believe how stupid these kids can be!
