I heard on the radio that today was the 60th anniversary of the signing of
so I looked them up. Some very inspirational reading.
I would commend them to the Bush Administration. Please read them and take them to heart, especially the first 12 articles or so.
Elaine said the lights were so perfect that we wouldn’t need to put up ornaments.
Hah! She’s not getting out of it that easy.
I saw a very interesting sky tonight and after giving the horses their grain I went back inside to get the camera. In that short period, the sky lost interest and this is what I got.
Then I tried to capture the horses-
That’s Hap
That’s Rags
Magic is a bit tricky to catch, even with a flash.
But if you are suitably sneaky and can distract her…
It was another gray, snowy day today. I think the high was 20F. But I did brave the outdoors for a few minutes. The hills were interesting.
Elaine posted a link on how to use leftover Netflix flaps and I surprised her 5 minutes later with this:
I have a few extra flaps laying around.
I also wanted to show off my new monitor, a Samsung 943BWX. It has a 16:10 aspect ration and you can rotate the screen so you get a profile instead landscape presentation. Very neat. As you can see on the screen, I was able to get the equivalent of two screens of the origami instructions at one time.
Elaine was rather surprised at how easy it was to configure the X11 file to rotate the display and to have it actually work.
Note to self- don’t use a black-sided flap for the origami if you are going to take a picture of it.
I found this link at Boing-Boing and it is impressive to see how accurately Peter Schiff, Euro Pacific Capital president, was explaining – two years ago – the underlying financial problems we face today. And it is being polite to say the fellow economic pundits to whom he was trying to explain things only went as far as ridicule.
As we approach the New Year and ready ourselves to reflect on the past and to ponder, however briefly, the future, it is traditional to gift those with whom we share our lives.
Why not give a gift that will keep on giving? Give them a book.
I am going to try just thumbnails inserted into the post and see if the thumbnail will allow you to pull up a larger image.
A brief Fall Winterland that only lasted a few minutes. Then it was gone, and so was I.
Friday morning we awoke to bright sunshine and the remains of a fog that crept in on deer’s feet in the night. It would not last long.
But had left a bit of itself behind.
hmmm, maybe these pics are too big a file size. Let me try some other options.
Another experiment – Thursday was a cold cloudy day.
And from a slightly different angle
Can you find the hidden critter?I didn’t even know it was there.
This is a bit of an experiment inserting images into my post. I have some more coming from Friday.
