Ali, I just found thes pictures from a place very near where I was born:

Le Château de Grignan date du XIIème siècle ainsi que la tour de Crest au bas de laquelle je suis née.

Ah, well, every winter, I get weepy--don't mind me.

You want me to drive 700 km south to get some pictures of snow?

I just notice "page rank" on the Google toolbar...the google explanation isn't very helpful

PageRank Explained

PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page's value. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks at more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves "important" weigh more heavily and help to make other pages "important."

Important, high-quality sites receive a higher PageRank, which Google remembers each time it conducts a search. Of course, important pages mean nothing to you if they don't match your query. So, Google combines PageRank with sophisticated text-matching techniques to find pages that are both important and relevant to your search. Google goes far beyond the number of times a term appears on a page and examines all aspects of the page's content (and the content of the pages linking to it) to determine if it's a good match for your query.

Anyone in my area on New Year's Day is invited to our open house all day long...we're having a great array of drink and food!

17988. jexster - 12/30/2005 12:23:02 AM

Bring your firefighting gear

17989. judithathome - 12/30/2005 12:38:32 AM

Heh.

Wish I could come! I'm going to a private party at my boss's house. It's flattering to be invited but I was kind of leery of it too. I mean, I'll know people there, I just didn't realize my boss liked me that much. I mean, sure, she likes me, but this is above and beyond, you know?

Christmas was great. I ended up driving nearly 1000 miles over the course of a four day weekend, but I had a wonderful time. Saw lots of friends, spent the Day with extended family and picked up an excellent new CD: Nickel Creek - Why Should the Fire Die?

Took the dog as well and almost couldn't get her to come home with me. She got to play "country dog" for an entire day and then spent two more days playing with a friend's hyper dog. When it came time to hit the road back home she was so tired and sore she couldn't even climb into the car without assistance. She slept for two whole days once I got her home. Pitiful.

17991. judithathome - 12/30/2005 2:58:06 AM

Well, I ahte to do this.

17992. judithathome - 12/30/2005 2:58:21 AM
