I have been working on my e-mail, trying to get a reasonable spam filter working, and I think I have it now. The only one that got through today was one offer for the Hillary deck. To be fair, three offers for the Hillary deck were caught in the filter.
So, with my spam filter working, I have time to turn to more important questions and the first thing I want to know is just who is buying all of those decks of cards. Democrats and free-speech tolerant liberal humanist types wouldn’t want them. Republicans are all Christians, and Christians don’t play cards. So who is buying all of the cards?

So I took John’s Geek Quiz ….

Take the Polygeek Quiz at Thudfactor.com

Okay, so I forgot to leave a “comments” option on my previous entry. I am still figuring it out here! Here is the rest of the picture from yesterday, scrunched up into a small file so it can become a Jigzone puzzle, of course. If you like the puzzles, Jigzone lets you have an account and make them from your own pictures. There are a few other puzzles on my web page.
Now, that is entirely enough of that.

I am playing around here with my new camera and my old Jigzone.com gallery. The camera is a Nikon 3100, and Jigzone .jpg’s have to be pretty small, so I cropped a piece of a photograph for this puzzle.

Once or twice a year someone sends me e-mail from one of my web pages, so I think people still manage to find them, even though they are pretty well hidden. The ones that I hear from most often are One-Room and Small Schools web page and the Literature and Meaning web page, where I have posted lesson plans for Sarah, Plain and Tall and Blue Heron.

Today I moved these pages to a new server, and some of the links might not work. On this new server everything is case sensitive. That means if the link is to “xyz.jpg” and the file is named “xyz.JPG,” you will see broken link and not be able to find the file. I am of course working slowly through the links to make the necessary changes.

If you are visiting the One-Room and Small Schools web page or the Literature and Meaning web page (lesson plans for Sarah, Plain and Tall and Blue Heron), and you need a broken link to work, send me e-mail and I will fix the one you need right away.

This will all come together in a few days!

I have a weblog! I want to say “thank you” to John Williams who would be one of my favorite people in the world even if he were not my son! Now, if I can figure out what to do with a weblog, I will amaze myself. Of course, few other people will be amazed, I am sure.

This is a test.
