I'm happy to say that my ear is feeling much better today....it's still not back at 100%, but I'll take 95%....

I've been seeing this commercial on tv lately from the Chrysler company....."buy one of our vehicles and don't pay over $2.99 a gallon for gas for 12,000 miles blah blah blah.....

Now, I ask you...why would a car company make that kind of deal to the public if they weren't SURE that gas is going to stay well above $2.99/gallon for the foreseeable future? I smell a rat! Actually, I smell a conspiracy between the auto makers and the oil companies!                             

Yeah, I may be wrong...but chances are I'm right! Personally, I'm all about getting one of those gadgets that will make Christine the Truck run on water and hydrogen...or something like that. I heard about it on the radio. At this point, I'm ready to try just about anything so that I can flip a big ol' slimy booger onto every gas pump I see!!

I did something this evening that I've been trying my best to put off....I updated my browser from Firefox 2 to Firefox 3.....I was putting it off because when I did the Beta versions it sucked! None of my add-ons worked....and any of you who use Firefox KNOW how depressing it is when your add-ons don't work!! But since today was the official release I figured I'd better go ahead and do it before it's forced on me. I have to admit that even though there are a couple of my beloved add-ons that don't work in version 3 [namely my "myspace toolbar"] I'm actually quite happy with it! I just hate the fact that I now have to manually log into MySpace until some developer comes up with a toolbar that's compatible with version 3. Yes, I'm a geek.

Well that's about it for now....I've got to go and do some more exploring with my new browser!
