I wouldn't want to ask people to just give me money cause they like my website, but do please take a quick look at Barger's Boutique. You might find yourself a little something-something for 2 or 3 bucks that you just can't resist! Any of the round images you find around MoreThings will get you to an Amazon page to buy my stuff and help ol' Al keep the lights on.
Links
To explicitly state the obvious, these external links go to interesting and provocative websites, but they speak for themselves. I don't necessarily agree with anything they say - especially that no-goodnik Richard Marcus.

Blog metaphysics Awareness of a slightly odd feeling dawned on me through the day. It strikes me as inexplicably odd (though really perfectly mundane) how I learned of the passing of Captain Kangaroo. I actually figured it out from my own web page. Well, my stats page by rights.
I noticed that my statistics were showing about double normal traffic. Then I noticed the referrer logs indicated numerous visitors coming in under various kinds of searches for Captain Kangaroo or Bob Keeshan. [I had a modest blurb on his birthday last year.] Why would I be getting a sudden bunch of interest in... search item: Bob Keeshan dead.
Damn. Ah well, he had to go sometime. I'll consider the traffic bump a little parting gift from the Captain.
One more specific thing in these searches, I've gotten quite a few hits on variations of "Bob Keeshan Jew." This comes from also having an unrelated blurb with a Randy Newman song on the same page. It had never occured to me to wonder about Mr. Keeshan's ethnic background. I spent an hour looking for such info, to no avail. Anyone got a clue?
