Closed Circle. We don’t have everything up, but there is a hint of content. We haven’t got an actual ‘anything’ yet, but as Lynn says, you can go push buttons and kick the tires and provide whatever comments you like in whatever venue you like....

You know one of my hobbies is genealogy. And you’ve heard the 6 Degrees of Separation theory. Well, I have one for you. You are one. Your parents are 2. Your grandparents are 4 in number. Your great-grandparents are 8. You have 16 great-great (or 2nd-great)...

Thank you all for signing up, and I hope you find it a pleasant place to hang out. I can’t say, because I don’t know who was the 500th member…but you all are the first member AND the 500th. Let’s reach for our next 500!

A quiet day. Laundry backed up for weeks—got done. I don’t know if our pond sunshield is working but it’s no worse. We woke up last night to thunder and lightning, unusual for Spokane, but when you have a day of 99 degree heat and 68% humidity (I...

Glug. I’m having to clean the pond filter 2x a day, each time extracting about 5 lbs of algae. Next year I’m going to investigate what’s safe to partially reduce this. Lynn sent us a letter last night: she’s still having troubles, but now knows...
