I wrote an Op-Ed
in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel on the parallels between the AUTOMOBILE/DRUNK
DRIVER and the UMBRELLA/SHORT PERSON. This is a very thought provoking
article that you should read!!

Hello,
My name is Ryan Peters and I wrote the article about about short people
and
umbrellas at Georgetown. I like your website and I'm honored to have
my
work linked to it. It is nice to know others out there share my
concern.
Last year I graduated and currently reside in downtown Denver where the
problem here is just as threatening to our safety. Perhaps our
continued
efforts to educate the people will eventually result in some kind of
legislation. I'm thinking OSHA might be involved. Keep up the amusing
work
and wear a hat with a long brim--it's almost spring.
Take care,
Ryan

Hi,
I came upon your site "The Hoodbrella Zone" hosted at the geocities. I liked what I saw. The page has been presented in a nice manner and the animations gives the site a lighter side. The links to other sources of information about this sport is good. This is a job well done. However, the page can be made more interesting by improving the background. Keep up the good work and I will periodically check to see any new developments that you bring to your page. I found that your site has been hosted on a free server (GeoCities) which has many disadvantages like disturbing advertisements, no technical support, limited space etc. Your site definitely deserves a much better hosting platform.
There are times where in you may not be reaching out to a greater number of people, who may find your website as wonderful as I did. There is also a strong possibility that you are missing out on several wonderful offers and services that you may not even be aware of. Furthermore, you may not even be receiving value for money services, as you should be. The solution to all such problems-ADDR!
