Wow am I Confused!
So I was reading some posts on another blog when I noticed something weird. There were the usual scrambled letters to be copied into the little box. These are presumably to deter scammers, but more likely only baffles the feeble minded! But what really threw me was the symbol next to the box:
When you scroll over it, the message "listen and type the letters you hear" appears. So what has me really confused, is this so a blind person can post a response to a blog? But how can they read the blog?????? Is there a translator that reads web pages to them? Or a Braille computer screen????? Or has the anti-discrimination laws stuck fear into the internet????

Kids just don't know how good they have it
After reading Cerpts post about songs that remind you of summer got me thinking about my younger years. And how hearing some songs brings up long lost memories. Growing up in the 60's. there are so many songs connected to memories. Every time I hear Satisfaction - Rolling Stones, I think about going to Olympia Lake (in Delran, NJ) and in the summer of 65 or 66 that song was blasting from the pavilion constantly!! And of course the parents hated the Stones, cause they were singing about spending the night together, while the Beatles only wanted to hold your hand.
But then the memories drift to warm summer evenings, playing tag and red rover til it got dark (be home by the time the street lights come on!), catching fireflies in a mayonnaise jar (and being very upset the next day that they were dead even tho you put leaves in for them to eat), chasing the Mister Softee truck (cause nothing says summer more than having ice cream melting all over you) and finally falling asleep on a lounge chair on the patio because it was too hot to sleep upstairs and waking up shivering in the morning, ready to plan another day of Summer fun.
