The Animal League of Green Valley

Friday, October 28th, 2005

Favorite Weekend Quote

Thursday, October 27th, 2005

On a Sunday talk show Republican Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison said,

Make A Face

Wednesday, October 26th, 2005

I found this website on the National Geographic Channel which allows you to make a composite drawing, ala police sketch or CSI.
They didn’t have any grey hair or glasses but I gave it my best shot. OK, so it might not look like me now, but it is fairly close to the pic […]

Safeway Club Card

We have a Safeway Club Card. In fact, almost everyone who shops there has one. I found an interesting post and even more interesting comments about Safeway and club cards in general.
There were fifty comments the last I looked. One included a link to scary article.
Together, Crucible and Zodiac can generate a map of how […]
