Try clearing your cache. Couldn't see it myself until I did.

But when I saw, I wept, for it was beautiful.

The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

FWIW - I used to refresh cayshe by going to the options menu in the browser (what I suspected you were going to suggest). Then one day, a very young programmer in our office walked by, saw what I was doing and smirked "There is faster way..." I felt old immediately. Darn whippersnapper!

There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

Excellent.  Despite the team owner/management's and MLB's attempts to drive me away from 35 years of fandom, this has ticked me back a notch in the other direction. With Pravata back a bit, now all we need is some semi-regular posting by Kev & Scott to make things closer to being alright.
