This be my baby -- http://www.ci.clearwater.fl.us/cpl/ -- lean and clean.  I
nursemaid the entire city site (http://www.ci.clearwater.fl.us/) -- 1800
pages -- from the third floor of the main library, overlooking Clearwater
Harbor.

They actually pay me to do this job. <grin> Best one I've ever had.
