It’s great to be back everyone! This show is very short due to an electrical storm that knocked out our DSL line just before the show was about to record. Thank goodness I clicked the save button before the storm came. On today’s show there are 3-4 worth printing out. I wish I could have shared the e-mail comments and ebay stuff this week but it will have to wait until next week when we get back on line. Sorry for the technical difficulties. It’s amazing how much this show needs the Internet. This is the second time in close to 2 years that our DSL has gone down on a Wednesday. Not too shabby if you ask me! Next weeks show will be more action packed than a G.I. Joe.

I need your help everyone! No not with a new computer…even though I do need this but I really need your help. I’ll explain on the show today. Lots to talk about today as we skip over the ebay stuff this week to get caught up on the news of two weeks.  I need your help everyone!!! Please send Jessica Packard an e-mail at the Crocs Company and let her know that you read the article in the Washington Post about soft soled shoes. Ask her when the Crocs Company plans on supporting the EESF! Her contact information is as follows: Jessica Packard, 303-848-7197 jpackard@crocs.com  - If you have kids or grand kids they most likely are wearing these shoes. The Crocs Company has an excellent opportunity to promote escalator safety! Please let them know this via your e-mail.
