Abusing Amazon images; Some quite odd online things

Ethical Considerations
Abusing Amazon images for decorative art on your own web pages makes use of Amazon's processor and bandwidth. While Amazon is generally good about letting people use their systems for interesting projects, it should be remembered that they make access available in order to ultimately sell more stuff.

My recommendation for those who want to use Amazon's services without being a total leech is to either save a copy of the resultant image and host it directly, or be sure to include a link to the Amazon sales page for the product depicted.

Ummmm ... : www.jewmilk.com/tarzanrubberband.htm or, for something completely different www.dazereader.com/24000824.htm (both possibly offensive to many people).

Chill-out city :) - probably better with sound & faster connexion

This classic tabby reminds me of my own late beloved one. Seh could get a mean look on too - reminding you that she was Ancient Royalty, from the line of the Egyptian Pharaohs. Not to be messed with.
Perspective does strange things to the mind here. Not bad ones, though.

I'm following the seasons here. The ice and snow in winter was amazingly beautiful, and spring is looking good too

Sorry, haven't been able to get into writing anything much except relating to the elbow-deep drifts of forms & legal documents that needed to be fixed up by this week or a large chunk of the house of cards laughingly known as my life will lose its insubstantial grip on reality, or at least a working facsimile of same.

Some forms still demand a typewriter. I was able to unearth my old Spanish manual (not Manuel) one. With working ribbon. Ha! Bureaucracy foiled again.

Maybe it's just the title that's giving me chills about this photo. My mind is making up a sinister story about how the shoes got there and what happened to their owners. Reminders of the Final Solution.

Now trying the non 'font' declaration version of changing colours, using whatever this editor does to change text colour.

(Note: I checked the HTML codes and they're hideous! But it is possible to extract the RGB values for the different text colours in the sentence above.)
