A Memorial Day Tribute, with no thanks to Google...
It is rather unfortunate that my former search engine cannot show the proper respect for all of our brave men and women who have and are now serving in our military. It is a shame that for a number of years they have found it acceptable to recognize the holiday for Canada, New Zealand, to name a few but not the USA.
So for the next week, each day we will pay tribute to everyone who has served their country in what ever branch of service. The first one is in recognition of my father for his service in WW II. Thanks Dad..
And to show you what I am talking about here is Google's reply to a question asked why no tribute to Memorial Day, from 2005 and 2007. Can you see the similarity?
Memorial Day response 2007 from Google:
Thank you for your note. We appreciate your interest in seeing a Memorial Day Google logo. If we were to commemorate this holiday, we’d want to express reverence; however, as Google’s special logos tend to be lighthearted in nature, this would be a particularly challenging design. We wouldn’t want to create a graphic that could be interpreted as disrespectful in any way.
We have a long list of holidays that we’d like to celebrate in the future. We have to balance this rotating calendar with the need to maintain the consistency of the Google homepage. We really value your feedback regarding the Google logo, and please be assured that we’re actively pursuing ways in which we can acknowledge Memorial Day and other such occasions in the future.
Regards,
The Google Team

This would be a particularly challenging design. We would not want to, in any way, create a graphic that could be interpreted as disrespectful. In light of the mail we have received about this, we are actively considering designs we could display on this day next year. We welcome any suggestions you may have.

Receipts, records, yea there here somewhere.....
You have to be kidding me, told that the financial records for the cottage were at Luigi's office and you can view them there, to fine, you can come and pick them up on Wednesday to, what do you mean you cant find them? And now Luigi's gone fishing? What the F@$K....
I have an idea what might have happened, if you look real close, doesn't that look like a receipt for screens, and oh look here's one for the dock sections. And I am sure the rest are here, somewhere, got any tape?
