In a comment, “Fran”:http://redondowriter.typepad.com/sacredordinary/ asked if the Basset Hound was a rubber stamp. I checked, and this rubber stamp is from “Mostly Animals”:http://www.mostlyanimals.com/kristalhtml/rack07/k0567.htm. While checking this site, I was surprised to learn that “Mostly Animals”:http://www.mostlyanimals.com/ is an “angel” company, which means they allow the sale of items using their handstamped images.

Basset Hound card
My friend Becky sent me this card, since I was with her when she bought the image of the Basset Hound. Inside, the card says “Another Year, Another Wrinkle.”
Ice Fog
Ice fog lasted until about noon yesterday, frosting everything exposed to the cold air.

One Page Linux Manual
The one page linux manual was recommend by someone at “Groklaw”:http://www.groklaw.net during a discussion of the relative merits of ease of use of Linux versus other operating systems. It contains a pdf file that has a good cheat sheet of Linux commands.
Spring snow
Today we are getting snow that looks a lot more like what we normally receive in the spring, instead of the drier powder typical of winter.
Triplettes de Belleville
Last night, Jack and I went to “Kimball’s”:http://www.kimballstwinpeak.com/index.html, our local art theater, to see animated film Les Triplettes de Belleville. (2003) My first reaction: This is possibly the strangest thing I have ever watched. But the dog was accurate.
Happiness is ….
a working garage door. Our garage door has been a little on the shabby side for some time now, and stopped going up without binding in mid-January. We have been used the garage for going in and out of our house since we moved here in 1992, so it felt very awkward having to use the front-door instead. It took me a week just to find the keys that worked in the front door.
However, this morning a new door was installed. The salesman had recommended we replace our old masonite door with another, since evidently steel doors can present more of a problem in high wind areas since they are more rigid. Now I have to prime and paint it.
