At any rate, many people love Virginia - it has a lot of history - Aside from the Roanoke Colony in North Carolina, which was founded 1586, and again in 1587 and then it mysteriously disappeared (I guess that's why its also called the Lost Colony) the Virginia Colony of Jamestown and the Popham Colony in Maine are the oldest settlements in the United States, dating back to 1609. The state of Virginia had a major role in the American colonial era, the American Revolution, the frontier and rural life, and of course, the American Civil War.
There are many things to do and see in Virginia and places to go to such as Williamsburg, Busch Gardens, Kings Dominion, Natural Bridge and its Zoo, Civil War battlefields; Virginia is even the home of the American Armoured Foundation's Tank Museum.
So naturally bus companies offer tours for young and old...
Here we see a line of OCHA senior citizens investigating their options during a day trip, after using the restrooms that is...This (soon to be) famous photograph, captured by roving photojournalist LadyStyx, will be the basis of a HUGE advertising campaign, starting with a big splash during Super Bowl XLIII game to be held February 1, 2009 in Tampa Bay.
And no, it's not an ad campaign for tourism by the state of Virginia...
Inside word has it, Kimberly-Clark, the makers of "Kleenex" facial tissue, "Kotex" feminine hygiene products, "Cottonelle" toilet paper, and "Huggies" disposable diapers, will be spending millions promoting a new line of "Depends"...Depends for OCHAs! The press release says, "Depend offers a full line of incontinence products designed to help you maintain a normal lifestyle. Our incontinence pants offer moderate to heavy protection, and Depend Guards for OCHAs are custom designed to fit the conehead anatomy."
Bet you can't wait to see the commercial! I know I can't!
Happy New Years! I hope the new year brings all of you many laughs, much happiness, and lots of beautiful memories.

Wow, who got those OCHA seniors to line up like that? I normally see them all bunched up taking up the whole sidwalk so no one can get around them.
I had a friend who lived in Suffolk and the Dismal Swamp for a few years, she didn't like it. Of course, she didn't like Memphis much better, lol.
Well, darn it! They don't show the Superbowl over here, so I'm going to miss the commercial! Not to mention all the British Ochas who wont get to see it... What will those poor Ochas do???
