Vicki and I just got back from our Alaska cruise. I haven’t taken my film in yet (and the damn camera broke half way through), but Vicki took a lot of pictures with our digital camera.

Decoded, that means that somebody went to the Yahoo directory pages for “Society and Culture/Food and Drink/Countries and Cultures/Hawaiian/Recipes”, then searched for “how make spam”, and ended up at a page of mine that describes how to stop email spam (now extremely out of date). I’m pretty sure that isn’t what they wanted.
