I've been using Mozilla Firebird 0.7 as a web browser this past week and it's definitely the best web browser out there. It's free and renders even the most bloatedly-coded web pages quickly. Plus it has features like tabbed browsing (which you'll never be able to stop using once you start), loading links in the background, and built-in popup stoppers that actually work. You can even right-click on an ad and order Mozilla to never display images from that site anymore. Give it a try -- you won't be disappointed, especially if you use Internet Explorer . I'm so happy with Firebird that I'm considering switching e-mail clients from the age-old Eudora to Mozilla Thunderbird.

We're planning on doing the Historic Leesburg Ghost Tour tonight to better recognize the Halloween spirit. Give a whistle if you want to come along.

It's cold out.
