A curious site, purportedly by a deranged mathematician, follow the links from page to page and try and figure it out...

And, searching for myself, comparing myself to the other "Rod Boyle''s, quite a few it seems, not really concerned about my page rankings but when I find links I click on them...
I find one. Obviously unreliable, links, information, out of date
But I like what it's telling me...
My blog net worth, it's telling me, is $68, 346.00. I check a couple of times, the same, I doubt it, but it's as kind as anyone's been for a long, long time...If only I could cash it in...

...And this is where it starts...
I'm pretty sure that in my countless expeditions and miles I've found a few stones of interest. Not gold, or platinum, but maybe a few diamonds...
It's hard to tell. They look like, well, any other rocks...small, quartz shards, they lack the obvious diamond structure and crystal matrix...but the rest is just fine...
So I waited and eventually my diamond tester showed up and ... later, without the daughter, I read the instructions and ...
It seemed I had.
This was/is a little unbelievable. I've grown so used to disappointment, too small, minute, flakes of gold in the pan, this can't be the case...

It's a simple thing, to bring them into a jewelers and confirm/deny that they are what I think, even if they are, they're too small to be valuable...but still I hesitate...
It's time, really, the car is done, done, done, a diamond injection would save the vacation, give us an (undisclosed) purpose, but still I hesitate...

Was considering, given the state of my wheels, possibly new names for the next generation of cars that will be filling the roads. Some inspirations:
- Crasher
- Basher
- Beater
- Bumper
- Nudger
- The Bomb (this I picture with a fancy French ad campaign, “LE Bomb” should sell well in the Middle East)
- Fireball
- Hit’N’Run
- The Guzzler
- Getaway
Kinda got the rhythm of Santa's reindeer to them all, buy the rights to the whole lot off me and watch your Christmas promotions write themselves...
