Just a note. When I've had multiple ads in a post, I've always gone from top to bottom. This one I'm doing the bottom ad first. You'll see why.
The Delta Queen is now being operated by Majestic America, but it looks like this summer might be the last - it had been exempted from maritime safety regulations, but the exemption is about to lapse, meaning that it will be no longer considered seaworthy. Naturally, there is information on the site that you can share when you contact your Congressperson, the media and whichever Presidential Candidate you might think would be interested in lending a hand.
In other bits of the site, I notice that you can cruise the Alaskan Fjords in a riverboat!
Outdoor traders is now setting its sights on sporting goods and not on casual wear of the caliber that you see pictured here. If you really want to rock the Madras Patchwork Trouser look, I was able to find some from Brooks Brothers.
Madras fabric is a light summer weight cotton fabric that is most frequently printed with plaid patterns. It is named for the city of Madras, India which is now known as Chennai.
Who am I kidding? I mean, just look at that. If only it was in color. Sigh.

The sun always sets on the internet
Constant/Setting "is a simple website that displays in real time, any sunset images taken and posted to Flickr as creative commons that correspond to the cities where the sun is setting at the moment."
As you can imagine, some times of day have a bit more variety than others.

Picture time fun
Blogger in Draft is tinkering with the photo interface, so I've been noodling with random pictures to see how it works. This post is an excuse to play. Perhaps you will notice the pictures change size and move around!
In order to find the random pictures, I'm using my latest dum-head internet game:
First the random article: Fanny Normann.
She was Max Schreck's wife, and had a part in Nosferatu, so when I put it in the ripper, the first image to pop up is a screen shot of her:
That's the only image of her that comes up. All the rest are such things as:
Here's another go:
The random article: "Liberty Corner"
