Big surprise: I for one am a little concerned about this blog being read by my high school students. I would like to remove the Fortress from Google searches, and in particular searches involving my name. Although after googling my name I'm happy to find that there's a lot of content about collaborations betwixt Ricky Martin and Christina Aguilera, and also apparently a book called The Body of Martin Aguilera. It is a short story about how I died in my cabin, then was found later having drounded in the river. This is peculiar not only because I was in my cabin earlier, but also because I was a master rivers-man who knew the river like the back of my hand. I expect condolences on my death sent promptly by all of you . . . and you better come to my funeral.

Anyway, back to the topic, I found the text that needs to be in the "head" in order to get this to work. Here is the link to the blogger help page that talks about it.

In other news: I agree with mike that those psuedo-manual cars (called triptronic) seem kind of funny. I guess the point is that you can hold onto a gear to push yourself into higher RPMs or shift early for gas conservation. I know the new M5 had the same feature, but you had flip paddles on your steering wheel (like Indy racing, or so I am told). Regardless, it DOES allow people who can't drive a manual to fake it, but why I have no idea. It does require you to look at the HUD in order to know what gear your are in. Or maybe you should just feel it or something. I don't know. I just worry that those cars will be where we are going in the future.

Lets see, what other worries are out there. I've been watching a lot of ER lately (let's hear it for no job during the day) which makes me really want to go see a doctor. I've got one in town that I went to about a year ago, so I guess I should go back there again. Although I'm happy with how I have stabilized my life after the years of chaos after my mother's dead, I still don't go to the doctor as much as I should. Perhaps it is because I am looking to save money and doctors don't help me do that.

My summer of fun will be at a close soon. It has been a great time with very few things accomplished as I wanted them. But I have still made improvements on a bunch of things, so I guess I shouldn't be too bummed.

I'm headed to Nashville Saturday to go see Chowning (speaking of long-distance relationships). The thing that really sucks about it is the 4 hour trip both ways. True these relationships are difficult, so you better be sure you are in it with the right person. Someone you are going to spend the rest of your life with . . . or something like that. Out.
