14 days and 6.2 miles later ...

Just got an email that one of my Where's George?® bills made it all the way (3 miles?) to Plano, TX, two weeks after I entered it online. Heck, I could have wadded it up and let the winds blow it and achieved better results! :P My hit rate is just over 2% - 3 bills hit after entering 148. I first used Where's George? in February 2000.

I understand the need to fund it, but the Where's George? web site can be really annoying, due to all the pop-up ads. Each time you enter a bill, you get a pop-up. Ten bills means 10 pop-ups. Unless you use a pop-up blocker. The only one I've found worth keeping is the blocker that comes with the Google™ 2.0 (beta) toolbar (which is Microsoft® Internet Explorer specific, sadly). BUT, the blocker works well.

Summertime, Summertime, Sum-Sum-Summertime
You know I must be in an abnormal mood when I go to Sam's Club® and, instead of buying Diet Dr Pepper™, I buy cases of:

1) Tropical Sprite ReMix™
2) Mountain Dew® LiveWire™
3) Perrier™

I bought the Perrier after watching a History Channel piece on the American Revolution, reminding me that (if it weren't for the French) we'd still be a British colony, and have to speak British instead of English. Jolly good, wink-wink, nudge-nudge, pip-pip, Cheerio! eh bloke?
