Special Note to Fellow Bloggers
Please be aware that there are now wonderful tools, like Akismet (http://akismet.com/), for blocking spam comments that drive bloggers nuts. Actually, the number of blocked spam comments to this blog far outnumber the number of legit comments. I occasionally check to see if perhaps a legit comment may have been mistakenly blocked - I've never found one yet! I say this only because, as a heavy blog reader and commenter myself, some of the spam blocking devices (such as Captcha and other word verifiers) used by bloggers are both irritating and noneffective as well. And I always wonder if blog authors who use those devices realize that they often drive potential readers and commenters away. Think about it folks, if you use a word verifier, you are undoubtedly losing many readers and commenters.

Five days on the road can do bad things to your body. We left early on Sunday morning from home, and averaged 10 hours driving a day – that really wasn’t smart. We had agreed early on that we’d take it … Continue reading
A New Year – New Adventures
Those of us who live in the Pacific Northwest generally are in agreement that our winters are the worst time of the year – some of us even spend bookoodles of time scheming just how we can make a dash … Continue reading
