P.S. - I've been reminded of why I hate 56k's so bad.
Sorry, Jeff.
An update from the road...
For those of you who don't know, I'm out in Omaha this Memorial Day weekend to visit my graduate best friend.
Hope you enjoyed the final column.... Leave your comments on the post below.

An uneventful flight yesterday, to say the least. Though, I did have the *cough* lovely experience of sitting next to some talker on my FWA-ORD flight. (That's Fort Wayne to Chicago's O'Hare, for those of you who don't know.)
"Hydrogen cars are the way to go... they're going to be the future," he said to me as we prepared to land. This after about 25 minutes of silence while he read two pages of USA Today. "I've got a son who is good in math, and I told him that's the way to go."
As any somewhat intelligent human being would know, the world's natural resources will expire.
He apparently expected this to happen by December.
In fact, that wasn't enough. Prior to us even taking off, the man was relentlessly attempting to make small talk with me by asking what I was doing, how I was doing, yada yada yada... He even insisted on rasing his voice OVER the loudspeaker during the safety demonstration. He was happily bitching about ORD's layout, and how it doesn't make sense ... furthermore stating that LAX is a great airport, and perfectly designed.
Back after touchdown in Chicago, I curiously asked the man why he was in town,
"I'm a plant manager from L.A, we were having a conference with another one of our plants in Huntington."
Figures.

A Preview of the BS to come...
After-prom, in my eyes, should be an attempt at eliminating, not just curbing, the possibility of teens gone wild. But when you end it a mere two and a half hours after the dance…aren’t we just delaying the inevitable?
This year we were. Many opt to skip after-prom altogether, instead indulging themselves into other recreational activities, such as “tipsy cup,” “fuzzy duck,” “my old grandma,” and everyone’s favorite head-turner: “hey dude – they are going to pump her stomach!”
The final Bewildered Society of the Spartana era hits stands Thursday.

Strange Smell Forces Taco Bell Evacuation
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Taco Bell's drive through wasn't open as late as usual Sunday night.
Hazardous materials crews evacuated the restaurant at 103rd and State Line at about 1:30 a.m., after employees noticed a strange smell, and their eyes started burning and watering.
The Fire Department thought too much floor cleaner was used or some of it got down a drain.
Ummmhmmm.... Sure *wink* *wink*.
High School Oral Sex Article Stirs Controversy
Aww!
A high school newspaper article that claims 40 percent of the students have had oral sex has stirred controversy in Montrose, Colo. The Montrose High School Chieftain published the story in its April 30 edition.
Hm - sounds familiar! But lets see what one parent thought about the survey...
"The people who are least qualified and least experienced were asked their opinions and it was reported, and we gained nothing more than what we could have learned by spending a half-hour in the boy's locker room," Russ Turner told the Daily Press.
She later corrected herself adding that it only takes "ten minutes in a boys locker room," and a "half-hour in the administrator's office."

Well, prom proved one thing to us last night.
Homestead kids do not understand how to park in a parking garage.
