  1. Happy Birthday, Adrian!
  2. Not at all! Just ask Matt. Just because Yankees wear pinstripes doesn't make them bankers.
  3. Tennessee death toll now at 19. Pictures of flooded homes and landmarks are at http://www.tennessean.com/apps/pbcs.dll/gallery?Avis=DN&Dato=20100503&Kategori=NEWS01&Lopenr=5030808&Ref=PH
  4. Cliff James has released chapter 24 of Circumnavigation, "Strait of Messina".
  5. Twelve people have drowned in Tennessee (5 of them in Nashville) due to flooding following record rainfall. Nashville received 13 1/2 inches of rain in 48 hours. Several smaller cities west of the Tennessee River got more than 17 inches. The deaths all occurred when people were trapped in their automobiles. One of the deaths occurred on I-24 about 1 1/2 miles from our home. Many streets remain flooded as are many homes and businesses. Losses will total billions of dollars. I-40 is closed from Nashville to Waverly, a distance of nearly 100 miles. Here is a video of a small building eastbound on I-24: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2VPjgpsITo.

    A return to blogging

    I appreciate your log, Ash. Good luck on landing a job in your field. More important, I hope you will be in a happy, lasting relationship soon. I understand that some degree of depression lasts for six moths or so for anyone who suffers a personal loss. A new relationship can do wonders for shortening that time. I say go for it...cautiously.
  8. A little nip and tuck is good for extending one's career. Consider Tina Turner at age 70:
  9. Take heart, Sky. I'm not a 70s guy either...not by James' definition.
  10. There's another potential problem with green tea...just like all other teas and red wine. It also contains tannin which causes muscle spasms in the back in some people.
  11. Cute kitty!
  12. I think you will find Jake to be quite satisfying in the long run. Unusual, but satisfying.
  13. I have written a few poems. I can sing (in large groups).
  14. Lightning also works well with SeaMonkey, giving you browser, e-mail, and calendar all in one.
  15. I've been using SeaMonkey, an integrated browser/e-mail program which works very well. It is a Mozilla-based product available free at http://www.seamonkey-project.org/. I can also recommend the Firefox browser.
  16. Chapter 3 of Jake..."Touchy-Feely"...has been posted.
  17. Cliff James has released Chapter 22 of Circumnavigation. The chapter title is "Intercepted".
  18. Hey! A new hat.
  19. Happy Birthday to Our Newbie Friend!
  20. I almost didn't watch the videos for fear of witnessing a slaughter. They are both cute, but probably wouldn't be good house pets.
  21. Welcome Gaytron. GA is not so confusing once you spend a little time here. Click on "Chat" and get to know some of the folks. That'll help you get off to a good start. If some one thing seems confusing, just ask about it in chat or send me a PM (private message). Just click on my avatar or name at the left of this reply, then select "Send me a message" under my picture. Welcome again...have fun.
  22. I'm interested, too, depending on the format. If you make it too complicated, I'll pass. Thanks for setting this up.
