Geez, that Beauty is smart!  She knows she's got to lighten her load for an easier liftoff!

I've been a big fan of Car Talk for many years.  Sad to think that the man who couldn't remember last week's Puzzler for so many years (it was one of their long running jokes) died of complications of Alzheimer's disease.

Yay!  The streams work on Chrome again! Finally!

The site crashed at midnight. Lots to repair this morning. Happy weekend for me.

You know we'd all help if we could !!!  Thank you!!!

I appreciate it. Things appear to be working well now. I'm still trying to find the cause. I suspect that our hosting provider was doing something without letting us know ahead of time.

Uh-oh!  And even after we named Nettie after them.  Ah well, thanks for all your great work, Shaky.

Nettie was named after Netsville, our gracious Internet service provider at the Times Square building. They are not our hosting provider.

Ah, I see.

Dorothy!  So good to see you, my dear!   

Wonderful!   

Yay!  Two more Aussie falcons!  Thanks for posting, Annette.   

Okay, I've definitely been working too hard.  I think I heard "It's my corn" too.
