Categotry Archives: From the Mail Bag
HTTPS
You all probably know this already, but I thought I’d share just in case. What is the difference between http and https? **The main difference between http:// and https:// is It’s all about keeping you secure** HTTP stands for HyperText Transport Protocol, which is just a fancy way of saying it’s a protocol (a language, in a manner of speaking) for information to be passed back and forth between web servers and clients. The important thing is the letter S […]
Speed Bump
I was planning on claiming another award today, but couldn’t get my act together. I’ll have to do it later. Meanwhile, can anyone translate this for me? Even if you can’t, stay and watch. It’s hilarious.
Driftwood Horses
Don’t they look real? I wonder how long it takes to make them? The email these came in didn’t say.
Food
I get all kinds of carved-food pictures by email. They always astound me. These are selected from several different emails.
Alternative to Turkey Dinner

First – take the tram up to the start of the trail. Now follow the path . Be sure to hold on to the ‘railing’ Keep an eye on the person in front of you. Be very careful when passing someone going in the opposite direction. Now just up a few steps. (they are […]
A Road in Bolivia
I said clear back here that I was going to have to post these pictures of another scary road, then got all distracted. Anyway, from the rest of the email about dangerous roads: I’m so glad I don’t have to sit there.
NEW STOCK MARKET TERMS
I got this joke in the email today and simply had to share. I’m assuming you all know what horrible things are going on in the stock market right now. If you don’t, I’ll be glad to bend your ear.

The Road to Death
I got this in email a long time ago, but it keeps coming to mind. I thought I’d share. *evil grin* Stremnaya Road is nicknamed “The Road of Death” And you will take no convincing as to how appropriate that is..
Marilyn or Albert?
To see this in action you have to start with your nose right up to the screen, then step as far back as you can. One way your should see Marilyn Monroe, the other Albert Einstein. Now look around. Is anyone watching you?
Underwater Restaurant
Want to see a cool restaurant? Me too. I’d love to try their fish sticks. This is the Ithaa restaurant, part of the Hilton Maldives Resort and Spa. It was created by MJ Murphy Ltd, a design consultant based in New Zealand. The walls and ceiling are transparent, curved acrylic similar to those used in aquarium attractions. The email this came in said they were planting a coral garden on the reef to add to the rays, sharks, and colorful […]
Call of the Wildside
At times nature can be cruel, but there is also a raw beauty, and even a certain justice manifested within that cruelty. The alligator, one of the oldest and ultimate predators, normally considered the ‘apex predator,’ can still fall victim to implemented ‘team work’ strategy, made possible due to the tight knit social structure and ‘survival of the pack mentality’ bred into the canines. See the remarkable photograph below courtesy of Nature Magazine. Note that the Alpha dog has a […]

Shoes
This one came in an email titled “Newest Styles out of Japan” . . . . . . . No way I’d wear any of these. Excpet maybe the red boots. And maybe the ones with the horse shoes. I could see where the horse shoes prints could be fun at the county fair.
