Well, it’s coming. No, not the Apocalypse. Although more than a few Republicans out there on the campaign trail seem to be running on the Mayan calendar.
Apple is starting to send reminders that come June, the iWeb experiment (at least hosted on Apple servers) is ending.

Oh, yeah... Tuesday. February. 14th.
A day for Saints and other commemorations.
A day to buy flowers, cheesy greeting cards, lingerie (if you’re brave enough and know the right sizes) and most importantly, chocolate.

I don’t know about you, but during a visit to Disneyland, the pace can be extremely frenetic.
Rushing about, going from a Fastpass on one side of the Park to another. Dodging ones way through the crowds along the way. Standing in lines for parking lot trams, attractions, food and shopping. Busier...

What did I think?
Bob Uecker as the Indian’s radio announcer Harry Doyle say it all. “Just a little bit outside...”
As much a fan of World War II aircraft that I am, and as much...
