In watching the news this morning, the expected topic of the hurricane
cropped up a few times. (Local news, just to be clear.)
During each of those segments, the phrase ...
"THE GULF COAST OF TEXAS"
...was heard.
Think about it. It'll come to you.
Early and very little coffee, but I still picked up on it.

And sending a DELIGHTFUL FRIDAY to everyone here, this crisp and
cool day.
cool day.
Good morning,Bear This cool and crisp isn't my idea of great weather. The furnace is running

Let's see... what else...
I spent about 45 minutes on the phone with a rep from eBay last night.
I wanted to know why a couple listings kept getting the "not allowed"
message when clicking the SUBMIT button. (THIS may sound familiar
from last year.)
They kept telling me that such items are not allowed as per eBay rules.
I kept telling them that there are hundreds of thousands of such listings
currently active on eBay.
They kept replying with (paraphrasing) "we get millions of new listings
per day and it's impossible to monitor all of them".
Then why are/is MINE getting the axe???
I suggested the rep go to the main eBay screen and do a search for a
four-letter word (familiar to ALL of us here) and see what happens.
THIS is what I see: "137,650 results for v***".
THIS is what I see: "48,334 results for s***".
...and so on and so forth.
I opined that a simple keyword search on THEIR part would make cleaning
up their listings a very simple matter and would easily enforce THEIR rules.
Either that, or please allow me to unload a few items... I'm not a vendor
with hundreds of things to sell.
THEY have a script and BOY do they stick to it.
Jerks.

Furnace??? I thought you were camping. Your camper has a FURNACE?!?!!Good morning,Bear
Wow!!! Some camper!!!
I just answered my own question... possibly.
Vendors with a crap-load of things MAKE MONEY for eBay.
Peon me will only bring them a few bucks.
Ah. I get it now.
That APPEARS to be discriminatory.
Good morning LoverBear
The whole "Gulf Coast of Texas" went over my head..
Maybe somebody else will explain it.
But here's a hint - and an assignment...
Post a link here to a map that shows a non-Gulf "coast of Texas". I'll
check back in a few moments.

G'mornin, snails...
TGIF...even better is that I'm the only one on my team that's actually in the office; not alone though, as people on another team are in close cubicle proximity. I wonder how early I'm gonna this afternoon...

I'll be AFK for most of the day.
Have a nice day, snails. Will try to check back in a bit though.
