Ward's Seafood Market

One of the very best things about Florida is Ward's Seafood Market in Clearwater.
I could go there just about everyday. I think my favorites are the red snapper and the salmon from Alaska. www.wardsseafood.com

Favorites and AOL

AOL has done it again.
My Favorites are all messed up. There aren't any from 2006 or 2007. The ones that are there are all out of order. There are many there from before 2004 that I know I deleted ages ago.
When I was using my notebook recently, all my Favorites completely disappeared. They never returned. I went to AOL's live Chat Help for assistance, and the tech person e-mailed me instructions on how to get them back. It didn't work, so I uninstalled AOL and used Firefox and Google for everything. AOL is supposed to store your Favorites on their servers.

I don't know why I continue to even sign onto AOL. It must be a nostalgia thing, or something.
I started out with AOL in 1994 with version 1.0.
I do like their e-mail, even though it has always gotten terrible reviews.
Even on the desktop, I use Firefox and Google's homepage most of the time.
Most of my really important bookmarks I've stored at Save This. Some I've e-mailed to myself.
Save This is nice, because you can drag a SaveThis thing to your Firefox toolbar, log in to your account and automatically have your sites bookmarked directly to them.
It's nice, and it's free. www.savethis.com

Belleair Beach

I love this photo.
It's a little beach in Belleair on Gulf Blvd.
If I ever win the lottery, I'll get a place here.

Largo makes AOL's Welcome Screen

Way to go, Largo.

The Steve Stanton story has put Largo, Florida on the map, but for all the wrong reasons.
Largo's motto is City of Progress. Maybe they should change it.

I was pleased to see the story on AOL's Welcome Screen, including a poll.
So far, 73% say he should not have been fired - with 10,059 votes.

Here's the story on AOL's Welcome Screen:

We watched the four hour meeting Tuesday night on tv. Citizens were allowed to speak, then the Commissioners, including the mayor, spoke. I was surprised and dismayed at the Commissioners' remarks. Only the mayor, Pat Gerard, and Commissioner, Rodney Woods spoke in favor of Stanton.
