The pictures below of Dubai are unbelievable.  Some of this you may know about…but I’m not sure how well this has been publicized.

Dubai in 1990 prior to the craziness

The same street in 2003

Last Year

The Palm Islands in Dubai. New Dutch dredging technology was used to create these massive man made islands. They are the largest artificial islands in the world and can be seen from space. Three of these Palms will be made with the last one being the largest of them all.

Hydropolis, the world’s first underwater hotel. Entirely built in Germany and then assembled in Dubai, it is scheduled to be completed by 2009 after many delays.

There are also many other examples of amazing architecture coming to Dubai. It’s amazing to see, yet despressing at the same time.

I hired a plumber to help me restore an old farmhouse, and after he had just finished a rough first day on the job: a flat tire made him lose an hour of  work, his electric drill quit and his ancient one ton truck refused to start.

While I drove him home, he sat in stony silence. On arriving, he invited me  in to meet his family. As we walked toward the front door, he paused briefly at a small tree, touching the tips of the branches with both hands.

When opening the door he underwent an amazing transformation. His face was wreathed in smiles and he hugged his two small children and gave his wife a kiss.

Afterward he walked me to the car. We passed the tree and my curiosity got the better of me. I asked him about what I had seen him do earlier.

‘Oh, that’s my trouble tree,’ he replied ‘I know I can’t help having troubles on the job, but one thing’s for sure, those troubles don’t belong in the house with my wife and the children. So I just hang them up on the tree every night when I come home and ask God to take care of them. Then in the morning I pick them up again.’
‘Funny thing is,’ he smiled,’ when I come out in the morning to pick ‘em up, there aren’t nearly as many as I remember hanging up the night before’

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance. We all Need a Tree

Just in case you ever get these two environments mixed up, this should make things a little bit clearer.

Whoever said that work was like prison hasn’t really taken a close look at the two.  

While out shopping the other day we ran across Razzberry M&Ms. That’s right, the chocolate candies are starting to go fruity. We just has to pickup some up and try them even though we’re not huge raspberry fans.

I have to say they were kind of tasty. If you’re a fan of chocolate oranges, then you’ll probably like these too.  Hardcore M&Ms fans should probably stay away.  It’s not the chocolaty goodness we are use to.

Have you tried them? What do you think?

Halloween is just around the corner and what’s cuter than a cat or dog dressed up like a pumpkin?

Deputy Dog Cowboy?

Firefighter?

Bumble Bee

Superman?

So many good ideas for Halloween.

Pepsi Summer Mix is now in select stores. The limited time only drink is a mix of tropical fruit flavors and Pepsi. Kinda reminds me of the days of Pepsi Blue.

I got my bottle at Target and it’s OK. Tropical or fruit flavors just don’t go well with pop. Will it be a smashing success?? Nope. But it’ll be fun while it lasts.

Come to find out, someone decided to make MySpace, Ebay and Friendster templates from some of my images. They didn’t just use them without permission, they actually linked them all here so it ate up my bandwidth!!!! Guess what? I blocked them and are now serving them up another interesting picture. Their MySpace page is pimpin now!!

Thunderbird 2.0 is out now and it’s had a lot of work done under the hood. It’s more responsive, has a built in tagging system and, with the calendar extension, has a built in calendar.

Thunderbird is free and cross platform, so pretty much anyone can try it. It even works with Microsoft Exchange accounts.

It includes saved search folders and lables too for organization purposes. You can even star a message just like GMail.

It’s about time to take one more item out of Microsoft’s empire and give Thunderbird a shot. Who knows, you may just like it better!
