Expidite the expidited

I am headed to the passport office this AM to get a new passport. I didn't have time to do the expidited renewal after getting back from Japan. So I made an special expiditing appointment with the passport folks in Atlanta. I am glad I only have to drive into Atlanta, not fly up to NY or Washington DC. It seems I have had to do some expiditing everytime I have renewed my passport. Passports are good for 10 years. When you get a new passport it is a time to ponder where you will be and what the passport will look like in 10 years. The pic belows shows the wear on my now cancelled passport. it was a 50 page book (the extra pages version) and 46 pages are fully used. Many countries require 3 empty pages to enter their country. So, I got full use of the larger size passport. If you need more pages, you send the passport in and they will "sew-in" more pages.

DEALING WITH DISAPPOINTMENTS Woo Hoo!. My blogger is working again. Man, I was really getting PO'd at IQuest Hosting (sucks). Now I have to migrate my stuff to another host. There is no justice. It will cost me money, effort and most precious time to move my files to another place that I shouldn't have to move. I had to troubleshoot changed paths and guess as to why I could not gain access to my files. They pissed me off and showed me they really suck. The article above however shows me that I am probably gaining something out of the experience. I may not be able to see it currently, however.

Hopefully the blogger is working again. Now I have to find a new host server. IQuest hosting sucks. I bought a camper for my truck. I wasn't really looking, but that is when you find good deals. I gave the guy 75 dollars. It needs some work but, it has a stove, fridge, sink, heater and it fits in my truck.

Google News I will be moving my server host soon. The place I am using now could screw up anything. That is the reason I have not posted anything (seemingly) for quite some time. The name of the crapper server hosting company is IQuest Hosting. They just plain stink. They bought out the service I was using. Now because of their screw ups I am moving.
