I F*cking hate computers

Just figured I'd edit the title in case my mom reads this. After all she'll never know what that * could possibly represent. Sly eh?



So I finished the last blog, did a spellcheck, previewed it, everything looked fine. Hit the publish post button and view the blog and everything had scrambled. The pictures were compressing the text along the sides into unreadable 6 character rows. Huge amounts of space appeared out of thin air and planted itself between paragraphs. ARRRGGH! This type of thing used to happen when I would try to type a resume (really, about every 5 years or so) on Word. Looks fine in the preview then Blammo, the finished product has shifted all over the place. Then you spend the next few hours going back and forth making minor adjustments and checking the progress. So, I found the preview button, where is the real fucking world button (sorry mom).



You really should see my Frankenstein version of the last post. It bears little resemblance to the slightly rough finished product. So enjoy it, I have suffered to bring it to you. I refuse to alter this one so however this comes out, send comments to Microsoft.



That's what superguy gets for patting himself on the back when he learned how to add pictures. Can't say I didn't warn me.



I said every post, and I cant go back on my word, so... time for communion.



Here we have the Lighthouse, I think it's a church or retreat center. You'll notice the quaint cross shaped observation platform. Observing what? Why I-68 in Maryland of course. This bit of holy architecture not only churches up the highway, you can see it from the air! If you frequent I-68 you'll understand that I'm saving the other (colossal failure) roadside shrine on this route for a later post. I still need to find the newspaper articles.

Sadly this too pales in comparison to the first feature. I've been back east and all the good abortion shock displays are in the Midwest. So, no more fetuses (feti?) until I'm west of the Mississippi.

Ok, I had to edit and add this, of course it came out perfect, Fucking computer.
