OT NORAD tracks Santa
 
For those of you with kids or grandkids this one is sorta neat.

http://www.noradsanta.org/

In 1955 a Colorado newspaper published the phone number of NORAD's
(North American Aerospace Defense Comand) hotline by mistake. They
were off by one digit so kids calling the local department store to
talk to Santa reached NORAD instead. Serendipity and a great sense
of humor has put NORAD in the Santa tracking business.

Ho Ho Ho and Merry Christmas !

My kids and I, now 4 and 6, have used this site to track Santa for the
past couple of years. They love it. (So do I). Thanks for the reminder.

Well....at least you didn't accuse me of being the 4 year old. It made
sense when I wrote it, honest. I guess I should have said....."My kids,
now 4 and 6, and I".

How old is your daughter now?

wayno: just my 02, but i have always seen roff as a virtual clave.
you've been to claves, and as far as i could tell, seemed to enjoy
the hell out of them. mostly fishing, and fishing oriented activity
and talk, but a *substantial* amount of other stuff, encompassing
pretty much of all of lifeitsownself, as it relates to just about
everyone in attendance. after all, wouldn't just talking unendingly
about fish and fishing bore the **** out of you, on or offline?

but i guess the most important thing is that we all don't come here
to discuss the same thing. and, in the final analysis, roff is
darwinian. people and subject matter that are unacceptable to the
environment will simply not survive.

here's to ya--first seethrough of the evenin', from

It was just too hard to pass up. :-)

How old is your daughter now?


Four and a half. Thankfully just a tad too young for wayno. g
