En-titled
I've decided to start using the Title feature for the blog. So, expect to see snappy titles on the posts. Or, just something I quickly came up with.
Got some more snow overnight, so shoveled that off when we got home from church. It was the typical late winter snow, rather wet, sticky and heavy.
When we brought the kids into their room at church this morning, the teacher said they were going to listen to the Zaccheaus story. I said to them, you know that one! And John said, "Zaccheus climbed up a tall tree, and he saw Jesus, and he wanted money!" Ha.
Last night John was on the computer playing Candyland. So, I got out my laptop, which I have at home in case I need to connect to work. My laptop has the necessary VPN software to do that. Plus, it is XP, and my desktop at work is XP, so I can just use XP's built in remote communcation to connect between the two. I don't need PC Anywhere.
Anyway, I got out a network cable I had downstairs, plugged it into my DSL modem, connected it to the laptop, and went over and sat on the couch and surfed the Net! Technology is cool sometimes. Maybe not as cool as wireless, but neat nonetheless.
Well, drove the Tacoma on Friday. I think we're probably leaning that way. It's a good quality truck. I like the changes they've made for the 2005 models. (I still think "Tacoma" is a rather lame name. Not like the cool "Dakota" or "Ranger" or "Explorer".) The brakes seemed a tad soft, I want to check that out. So, though it pains me not to get a domestic vehicle, I know that the Toyotas are built in the US, with US workers, and that anymore there's no such thing as a vehicle belonging to purely one country. Even in the Fords, I know some of the parts are built overseas, and assembled here.
We still want to drive it again, and bring it home and see what it looks like in the garage. I'd also like to see if the dealer has a satellite radio package they could install. I'm thinking about getting that. I know Ford does, but I don't think I saw that available in the Toyotas.
