And a Little Child Shall Infect

I should have known better. How many times has this happened before and still I did it again and now I’m suffering the same type of consequences. Will I ever learn?
To understand the last bit you need to know something about me and that something is my immune system. It’s a rather good one actually. [...] Read more »

A 2 Day Snowstorm-Minding the Shop

The Northeast Kingdom is looking forward to a two day snow storm beginning around 10:00 AM this morning and guess where my better half is right now? About 2 hours south of here attempting to take care of the usual quilt shop business that springs up around this time of the year (first sign that [...] Read more »

Irish Missile Launched at Newport, VT. Lands in Tree

Grandad launched a (left over Russian Cold War era) Missile at my town today but instead of exploding properly, wreaking death and destruction everywhere, it instead embedded itself in my neighbors tree.

John McCain, ex-Vietnam veteran and all-American hero, was forced to deny [...] Read more »

And those two groups are Mozilla’s Bugzilla and the (shudder) WordPress Codex. Now the problem for me isn’t the fact that I’m not a developer nor programmer [...] Read more »

Raven Rises from the Ashes

In the days before Windows Live Writer (WLW), my blog editor of choice was Zoundry’s Blog Writer. This local blog editor worked well enough but definitely had it’s share of bugs, enough so that when Live Writer came on the scene Blog Writer was gently shown the door. Months passed and occasionally I went back [...] Read more »
