I was getting directions to danville and I saw google has the street view feature for Danville.  I find this feature very helpful in chicago and when I went to New York.  I'm suprised they made it to Danville before they made it to Champaign.

 

Go Whitesox!!!

I used to be a member of the NRA. For the past two years I have allowed my membership to lapse, thus causing them to call frequently to renew my membership despite telling them I would not, (Not for any ideaology reasons, just cheap). Recently I bought a new set of phones that allow you to block unwanted numbers. So, I blocked one of their montly requests for membership renewal. Today, since 5:30 I have recieved 25 calls from the NRA. Apparently, the computer continues to call if you don't answer. I called the NRA, really upset, and they were appropriately concerned and blamed it on the computers. My question is now will all computer generated calls do the same thing?

If you have broadband internet access, get yourself a VOIP phone and a new number and this problem will go away forever.

Absolutely!  But I'm out of state until next week... feeding my road trip monkey.
