Welcome to the new look
Wave Without A Shore
It’s a work in progress but everything should work now
Temperature lows—60’s to 40’s. Temperature highs—78 to 69.
It's one of those years...I simply cannot get the pond to balance: we keep dropping into areas where biological function slows down. The flowers are blooming more or less on schedule. We're still in peonies and iris and the cherries and rhodies are past. But in the...
Back to routine life…
While painting Rocky's underside, lying on the garage floor, I crushed and scarred my glasses. Today I had to get the left lens ordered replaced, and it took an act of Congress. The Walmart computer kept going down. But I do have a pair I can wear that is ok. I am...
Painting carousel horses…
Yep, that's where we've been the last couple of days. Our friends have, yes, some full-sized carousel horses, and we got to help paint. We took one look at the available horses, and fell in love with Rocky Stonecrusher the Triceratops... Jane doesn't have pix yet, but...
Earth-moon system is being buzzed by an asteroid with its own moon!

Zombie files and keyboard switches: slowly switching over to the new computer
It's a Good Thing not to have to do this in a crisis mode. The 'old' computer is working fine, and will continue to be my backup, but the new one is getting its programs. I opted to skip the 'bargains' like Word Office, etc...so it's a pretty uneducated computer. I'm...
The diet, BTW, held through the convention…eating in the con suite…
Which says a good deal positive about the protein level of the Miscon con suite. We had, during the course of the weekend, breakfast (comes with the room) of hotel scrambled eggs, which we think had carbohydrate filler. But it was better than a sweet roll or cereal...
FTDNA drops price…
cheaper MtDNA This is a reputable company.
Back from Miscon in Missoula MT…
Had a great time, really. Tired. We were quite done in having conned from Friday til Sunday afternoon, and we could have stayed for Monday, and had planned to, but we have so much work to do, and we were quite tuckered out. It's one of our favorite motels, Ruby's Inn;...
Inspired by previous post—the difficulties of car travel in mid-US…
Or why we find some conventions harder than others to get to... Chattacon is as far as Atlanta, when you're considering driving from where we are, in Spokane...and there aren't roads between Here and some of There. We're going to be looking at Kansas City, which is...
20 lbs down. 31% of weight goal achieved.
I have not seen me in Levi's 14 slimcut jeans since the 1980's. Jane is also making progress. That is all.
My brother, niece, cousins, et al, all ok in OK.
Which is a relief. And fewer killed than they feared: people just kept turning in new paperwork, apparently, and they kept adding instead of realizing it was the same unfortunates. Weather rolled in here while we were at the gym---turned right cold all of a sudden!...
Wishes for safety and recovery to Moore, OK and places thereabouts…
They've been hit again by a terrible, massive tornado. Jane and I were in OKC for the 1999 outbreak, and this one followed almost the identical track, except that it missed Tinker. This is a terrible mess. Thinking of you, friends and relations in OKlahoma.
