    This may not be the best place for this, but I'll explain my reasoning shortly. I will be going on a road trip very soon, and for a few reasons, it's quickly becoming my tdtdotcom/SK road trip. I have made a couple of book deals with some members here, and I would love to meet any and all SK collectors, so I am now going a bit out of my way to meet several people from this site during my Road Trip. In most cases, it will just be a quick lunch/dinner Bulls**t session. Below is a pic of my suggested route, so if I'm traveling even remotely close to anyone else that would be interested in meeting another DT junkie and having some lunch or something, please don't hesitate to pm me. This will be my 4th (and probably last) cross-country trip, so I'm just out to have fun. Btw, I put this post here, b/c it gets so much traffic, and it will be my pride and joy to meet as many of you as possible.

    A little info about me. I'm a 31yo DT junkie, a former Navy Rescue Swimmer turned disabled vet, who currently has some free time and a love for travel. (Does this sound like a personals ad, or is it just me?) Just for the hell of it, I will be donating $.01 for every mile I drive on this trip(~8800) to the fundraiser along with the 10% from my book sales.

    Holy shit man, that sounds like a great trip. I wish you could swing a little closer to Colorado.

    I really appreciate that last bit, very generous of you.

    This reminds me of a site I stumbled upon once where a guy drove through all 48 states on a motorcycle. He had pics and everything. It was amazing, especially since he did it in record time. I don't recall how fast exactly, but something like two weeks.

    Bob,

    I'm a Mozilla Firefox user. I don't have that issue with Vista.

    Free browser http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/ without the pesky Microsoft issues.

    I took your advice and the problem disappeared with the Mozilla Firefox browser. It will take a little time for me to get comfortable with the new browser but I like what I see so far. Thanks!

    Bob, I used IE for 15+ years. I tried Opera, Mozilla and and now using Safari.
    BTW, you can have/use more than one on your computer.
    I love Mozilla, and am now becoming quite enamored with Safari.
    Give it a try.

    Steve -

    You should get something (not sure what exactly, but something) and get every TDT.com member you meet along the way to sign it (not that anyone wants our signatures ). That'd make a very cool keepsake!

    Here's hoping our paths cross on your way to Toronto!

    Interesting. I seem to be getting different versions of eBay on the two different browsers. Mozilla calls up the version I am familiar with. IE7 calls up an eBay with a completely different layout to the individual listings. It is this version that gives me problems. It's like I am getting a beta version of Ebay with IE7 but I don't see any way to switch.

    I think for a while I'll use Mozilla as my eBay browser and IE7 for everything else. IE7 seems a little faster overall.

    Interesting. I found Mozilla to be substantially quicker here at tdt.com than IE7.

    Also, just for a clarification of my timeline. I am beginning my roadtrip later this week, and should be done by the end of April. I am really getting excited to meet all of you along the way who've responded. Eric gave me a really good idea, too. I'm going to pick a book (likely DT, surely SK) and have everyone I meet along the way sign it. I think the end result will really be something special. I will post updates along the way.

    You should all come. That'd be a fucking party to remember.
    Steve, how did you like my neck of the woods, man? (Not too much, I assume. It sure isn't anything to write home about...)
    And it's an wesome idea you have there, but what about us poor Brits, eh? You should sent it around, so everyone can get involved.

    I wrote a ridiculous amount of essay this week, and just finished another ten minutes ago. Only one more to go, then I get a week off, then I'm into exams.

    To treat myself I'm going to read "Disposal" a recent novella by Jeff Strand tonight and tomorrow morning. I've never read anything by him, but I have a feeling I'll enjoy this one, if for no other reason than it being the only non-academic thing I've read in the last month!
