Wave Without A Shore
It’s a work in progress but everything should work now
The faithful Subaru's in the shop, getting it's 110,000 mile checkup.
Got it in 2004, and it's been perfect. We try to take good care of it. It's carried us from Spokane to Memphis, to Dallas, Chicago, Toronto, and to San Diego and San Francisco without a glitch. It's amazing on snow: you'll have cars in the ditch left and right, and...
You know we travel with cats…
We found this marvelous thingie to replace our ferret cage. http://www.dogkennels.com/dog-kennels/dog-exercise-pens/softsideplaypennavytan.cfm It weighs incredibly little, pops open, folds in a jif, and when all zippers are zipped, even a ferret would not easily get...
Chilean miners are out…and here's wishing them a happy privacy…
...with their families, and such as they may need to get caught up on the world. If this had been done as a NASA mission, they'd have studied and selected, and studied some more. There were not so many 'selection criteria' on these guys, except they were all male, all...

the phones-by-mail zoo……….
We got our new Go-phones yesterday. Decided to put them together this morning. Well, we have two boxes: in each a phone, a plugin for charging, a back, and what may be the battery. We have a huge double fistful of instructions. We were told to dial 611 and an ATT...
Frost on the roofs in Spokane. Freeze this coming Sunday.
Breakfast on the patio was nippy this morning. The pond is frothing up islands of white foam---lest you think picaresque, it's dead bacteria, dying off from the chill, as the summer bacteria give up. The koi were all resting deep this morning, not interested in food....
Do you have 'interesting houses' in your neighborhood? We sure do.
One, surrounded by weeds and brush, about 3 blocks from us, is a real doozie. It started out with nightly arrests for drunkenness, theft, and vandalism. Sometimes 4 incidents every 24 hours. Now it has graduated to 'domestic violence' and theft, 'suspicious person'...

Want to know a good one? Some geniuses in education…
...are suggesting that cursive writing be dropped from the curriculum. a) it's the foundation of the ability to sketch and manipulate graphics and styli, a damned interesting choice in the computer age. b) it enables us to sign our names distinctively. c) printing is...
A slow rainy Sunday.
It's usually nippy by this time of year, but it's holding on warm. We're getting down to 33 Tuesday night next, but then it'll warm up to 44 at night. So it's coming, but none of the trees have turned. I'm spending my evenings working on Chernevog's rework, as I spend...
Cheap American phones. Really.
We're not great cellphone users. We use ours for echo-location in huge stores, at the state fair, or when otherwise lost from each other. We occasionally use it for a call when traveling. For this, we've been billed 80.00 a month for the pair of us. Lynn Abbey put us...
flying with the experts—peregrine falcon and goshawk
