Why Thankee.

Purty posey. We're plum out at the moment, unless you count a few weeds.

We haven't gotten into Winter proper yet, but between the drought and the short days the plants are all just hanging in there in hopes of a warmer wetter future.

I sure wish I could share our wet, wet, wet spring with you. The weather gods appear to have decided to wash away all memories of last year's drought.

Pouring rain here ... again (4.00 / 7)

I heard a story yesterday about the farmers not being able to get the corn in because it's too wet -- more "fuel" for the ethanol food crisis.

Re: Pouring rain here ... again (4.00 / 7)

We have rain predicted for the rest of the week -- definitely great for the woods but it means it's even more likely that the farmers will have to switch to soybeans. I hope the politicians realize pretty quickly that the ethanol goals need to be severely cut back.

Re: Froggy Bottom Cafe Lounge (4.00 / 5)

What browser?

Firefox has become a nightmare on all my computers lately...freezing up, shutting down unexpectedly, doing other weird things. I keep trying to remember to switch to Safari, which doesn't seem to be behaving the same way.

A walk sounds like a great idea, it's nice and sunny here today.

Well, Firefox is my default browser, but even IE and Opera gives me trouble.
In particular, it happens when trying to open pages with embedded video or graphics (Flash seems to be a sore point).

Our IT always asks, "Have you loaded any new software lately?"

I've been plagued with intermittent cursor freeze ups of late, but not just in Firefox. It happens in anything I'm running. Also, it leaves no trail in the event log - just *poof* and its frozen solid. There's no Ctrl-Alt-Del out of it, either. I have to do a manual shutdown and reboot. It annoys Mrs. Dem in the extreme, as my favorite location for computing is at her business server. Maybe its time for a new server, as we're on the 2nd main board and that we had to scrounge from a used one.

Well it went a bit more smoothly this time at the dentist. After what seemed like a couple of dozen really uncomfortable injections I got a relatively painless crown and 3 fillings in 1 1/2 hours. The painful part will be when the bill arrives;-)

Hi Super (4.00 / 6)

He has been having really bad circulation problems, particularly in his legs, which were causing him to have a lot of pain and swelling. Last month he got stents in one leg which he said helped a lot and this month he is supposed to have the other leg done. So I hope we'll see him back soon.

Doing My Part For The Left,Left Of The Rainbow

Hi everyone! I had to leave home early this morning, but stopped at noon for a brief hello and brunch. Back out this afternoon for a trip to an even more southern Indiana area for the funeral of a colleague who was a local public servant for something like 38 years.

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening All (4.00 / 2)

Looks like another rainy day here but yesterday turned out to be not too bad so I guess I can't complain (oh yeah, just watch me)

Hope everybody has a good day ahead.

Saturday wasn't too bad -- it didn't rain and we got all our errands done.

Today will be busy for me because I've got an early morning flight on Monday and will be out of town till late Wednesday so I've got to get a bunch of stuff done and then try to get to bed early.

Good luck with that and I know how much you hate traveling. LOL at least for work. I hope the first half of the week goes by fast for you.

Well, this trip is to the "home office" so not so bad -- I can dress in my usual slobby clothes and won't have to spend much time in conference rooms.
