Lately though I have found that if I change spelling and grammar on an entry I get my paragraphs merged into one block of type.
So in long entries like “The Hank Keene Show” the poor English will remain.
So enjoy my :

Nothing can be turned off anymore. No longer are there switches which actually disconnect the power. Instead, pressing the "Off" button just puts the television or cell phone to sleep, simulating a state of "offishness". But the gadget is not really off. It sits there listening to everything going on around it, running it's little programs, plotting and calculating, waiting for the signal to pretend to be "on" again.You can always pull the plug. But they hate it when you do that. When you plug them back in they yell and blink at you. They get cranky and make your life miserable so that you won't do that again. And, sometimes they are still alive even when you pull the plug. They shut down their life support systems to a bare minimum and grimly wait you out. I think the switches should have four positions: ON, OFF, VERY OFF, and DEAD AS A DOORNAIL. That way you have a little more say in the matter.
Also I want a helicopter in my garage.

I know what you mean. It use to be when you turned something on a little red LED would come on to tell you that it was on. Know a little red LED comes on to tell you that it is off. I have a sub woofer with an amp in it. You can’t turn it off. Only if it decides your not using it will it turn off. So I randomly hear it go thump to tell me that it’s done with me.
