I guess the spammers have started to realize that people with mozilla do not have to view inline images in spam so they have started with ASCII art. I remember how I used to take hours trying to figure out the best way to make the coolest ASCII art for BBS’s. That is until I found ANSI art with full 16 color images. Actually kind of 32 colors because you could do some halftoning… In any case I have to display a least a little of this thing:

                                                  {((((((}
                                                 {)))))))))
                                               (((((  _  _))
                                               )))))) . (.((
                                               ((((((    >)))
                                              _))))))    -  /(
                                           .-'  (((((.--' )))
                   .-'''''-._          _.-'         :: (((((
                 .`          '-.    .-'     _.-''  :::)))))))
                 :              ':-:    _.-' :'   .:::((((((
                 :               .:   .:: : :     ::::)))))))

Every morning I come in to work and do my daily ritual… survey my desk area for mouse cookies. Let me make clear that I have a deep fear of these tiny, dirty little creatures. Recently my fear has turned into disgust and is heading straight for despise. My co-worker and myself have been laying sticky boards around our desk areas. To our dismay, the mice have been doing the Mexican hat dance around the glue boards right after they eat the food bait and crap in a nice circle around the glue boards. This morning the little micies have now stepped it up a notch. Not only has these spiteful little mice stolen the food off of the glue trap, but this time the little bastards crapped directly on the glue trap! Can they be any more evil?! We are going to have to take it to the next level >:-/

Thank goodness I am loosing weight again. Well according to that el-cheapo scale we bought, anyway. I have been loosing about a half a pound (us) per day over the last 9 days. Although, I had a day and half gain of weight until yesterday evening when I discovered that the bug was due to a queue flush error in my system. I am now back on track and feeling pretty good about it. My secret is not some carb crunching scheme, I am just being a little more careful of portion size. I happen to like carbs and I don’t have enough energy when I avoid them.
Regarding the scale, it came uncalibrated. So I put three gallons of water on top (six milk cartons three filled with water and three I had not opened yet). The specific gravity of water is 8.34 lbs/gal and milk is 8.6 which makes the combo 8.47 and therefore 25.41 lbs. BTW wisdairy.com really needs to change its name!
