Welcome to the new look
Wave Without A Shore
It’s a work in progress but everything should work now
We’ve lost one of the kitties.
Tracker, age between 15 and 18, to kidney failure. Nothing they can do. So we're headed to the vet's in a few minutes. Very sad day here. This is one of the two we brought from Jane's sister's place.
Finally rained-upon and smoke-free
Every year that we can, I like to take the Coeur d'Alene lake supper cruise for my birthday, with friends, and we are booked with temperate and clear weather, which is nice, because I like to do it in the open air of the upper deck, where we do get wind. And because...
Looks as if Lane is veering…and weakening. One hopes.
STay dry and stay safe.
8 lbs in a week exceeds what the docs say is safe…
but, funny thing, the human body has absolutely NO compunction about piling on 5 of them in one 3 day period of bad eating. So off with 8 is not a bad thing, at least in this particular first week. We're holding up very well in the not-getting hungry department. Our...
Exhausted. Had to make another run to Seattle…
While trying to clean up the copy-edits. Jane's been over it, I've been over it, Jane went over the front end and read; we both agree that the c/e first section has to be fixed and fixed with some major work to get back to where we were before we tried to follow the...
Jane and I are finishing c/e’s for Alliance Rising.
Two of us going over the copyedits in succession... way to go. We're exhausted. And I have the implant posts done tomorrow, so I don't think I'm going to be too spiff tomorrow. Sigh. Another pasta diet.
Raccoon wars.
That blighter has gotten on my last nerve. He's eaten two baby fishes from the lotus pond. He's ripped up a 30.00 lily. And the struggling lotus. He's ripped up some of the waterlily pads on the main pond and tossed bark chips into the pond that nearly stalled out the...
Firefox hanging.
A little note for those using Firefox browser. The latest update of an Intel driver apparently caused my browser to hang after several hops across the internet, particularly in graphics-heavy sites. This would produce an error message in Win 10 to the effect that...
The dental work might make it for Thanksgiving. …
Bummer. I love pasta. But I am wearying of it. Eating is a bit of a chore. The good news is I'm down 10 lbs. Then they may start the other side.
Locked out.
To deal with prowlers at the pondside we installed little spooklights around the path, and when they go on, we know something's out there. So I went out about 11:00 last night armed with an electric lantern to put whatever it was out and away from the pond. Jane...
Starting a new Coursera course…this one one Ancient Marine Reptiles.
These look a lot harder than they are---the terms are really scary, but they give you a lot of examples, and the test of each unit is 4-5 questions which you have been prepped for. I didn't get to finish my marine evolution course---nearly did, but time ran out on me,...
So far so good. The new laptop is light—really light. It’s fast. (Solid state drive holds the OS).
And the keyboard has a nice touch. If you're used to Dells. The sd reader does not let you leave the card in...it sticks out about halfway, so it wouldn't be wise. And we have had issues with that. But the screen is nice, the speed is good, and thanks to Carbonite's...
