Then and Now
Found this old postcard for sale on Ebay and thought it might be neat to contrast then and now with a Miami street scene.
I'm not for sure exactly when the above photo was taken, but I'm sure it was shortly after the beginning of the last century, probably at least 90 years ago.
As you can see, one of the buildings still standing is the one in the foreground; there's also the church in the background. (If you look closely in the "now" photo, you can make out the church spire)

Not from the Word of the Day feed in the right hand column, but this was the winning word in yesterday's finals of the National Spelling Bee.
I was one of my school's two entries in a spelling contest back when I was in the sixth grade. I won with "acne" when no one else could spell it.
I knew the word because I already had it.
My partner and I went on to the district contest where "we" were soundly trounced. I say "we" because she and I were a team and our cumulative score was what was measured against the other schools. She missed one; because I didn't study much, I missed something like six or seven and thanks to me we didn't place in the top three to advance to the next level. She said it was "OK" when I apologized to her, but I could tell it wasn't. Wonder if she's still mad at me?
Just About My Age
Your Birthday Predicts You're Sensitive |
 Ever since you were born, you've always been able to cooperate. You enjoy supporting and being inspired by others. You appreciate the dynamic of a group. Getting along with others is essential to you. You are both fair and well mannered. You are very intuitive and easily effected by other people. Sometimes you are too delicate. |
This is pretty much a crock.
I don't work and play well with others for one. I could be a hermit if the cave had internet access.
Well mannered? In person, maybe, but sometimes in a forum....
Delicate? Not even my constitution is delicate.
(my underwear is a different story)
Happy Birthday to me!
I Think It's My Birthday!
Your Birthday's Wisdom is Thought |
 You believe a mind is a terrible thing to waste, and you try to exercise your brain as much as possible. You are intrigued by almost everything, and you are curious about the world around you. You want to travel to foreign lands, read lots of books, and master many subjects. You love to go on all sorts of adventures, especially the kind that don't require you to leave your room. |
Now THIS quiz describes me to a "T".
