My Soon-to-Be Felon

My not-quite-three-year-old son has developed an obsessive interest in water towers and phone towers. It's actually a fun hobby because he's always looking for them when we drive. It keeps him happy on a long car ride.

My parents have fostered this interest by taking pictures of these towers and finding other pics on the Internet. One day my dad sat and printed several color pictures of towers from around the world. My son was impressed and enjoyed watching the picture on the screen become a picture on paper.

At his next visit to his grandparents' house, he wanted to look up more towers on the Internet. He then wanted to print them. My dad explained that printing these pictures used up a lot of ink and that it was too expensive to keep printing them. So my son said...

"Well, print some money then!"

Yikes!

Windermere Real Estate. A recent web release indicates that Orlando welcomes more tourists every year than the population of the state of California - 43.3 million. Orlando is the number one tourist destination in the world. It has more than 100,000 hotel rooms and seven major theme parks. A large part of Orlando's economy is based on the tourist industry - it's worth billions of dollars to the area's economy. With 185,000 residents in the city and more than 1,500,000 in the Metro-Orlando area, Orlando is one of the fastest growing communities in the United States. The seven counties in the central Florida area offer a wide variety of lifestyles, from gated golf course communities to old-fashioned towns. Your family could have the perfect Florida vacation in Orlando and the surrounding areas.

Zephyr Paintball - According to a recent web release, paintball guns were not orginally invented as part of a sport. These guns or "markers" were first used by the forestry and farming industries to mark trees and cattle. These first guns resemble some still used today. They had the same source of power - CO2
cartridges - and the same limitations (poor range and limited accuracy). Paintgall guns used for marking trees were modified to reduce their velocity to prevent human injury. In 1985 the first paintball gun was patented specifically for the sport. It was known as "The Splatmaster." Paintball guns have continued to evolve ever since, achieving increased accuracy, speed, air efficiency, and reduced size. Tournament-style paintball requires a gun that is easily maneuvered, so new technologies will probably continue to make improvements in those areas.
