Oot Again

I’ll be in Phoenix for the next few days, and I’m leaving my computer at home, so you’re all on your own to entertain yourselves.

The Clown Cars Are Dead, Long Live The Clown Cars

So I finally cracked and got a new cell phone. My old one had been going downhill for quite some time, refusing to hold either a charge or a signal recently. The other thing about it that pissed me off was that it didn’t have a decent ringtone. There was no standard ring, only silly ...
