It wasn&#8217;t for lack of trying, or even lack of things to report on&mdash;there are bits of new posts sitting on no fewer than four computers&mdash;but they were missing a vital ingredient, pictures. In what is turning into an annual event, I&#8217;m going to need to purchase a new set of rechargeable batteries for my middle-aged Canon PowerShot. As it stands now, I get five shots, then no power. The end. (<i>you could rehabilitate those batteries like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.instructables.com\/id\/EPV474YLF3EV2Z8V9V\/?ALLSTEPS\" target=\"_blank\">this guy<\/a> did. &#8211; ed<\/i> Oh, that sounds like a great idea, except for the explosion part.)<\/p>\n<p>The other lame-ass excuse involves weather (<i>when doesn&#8217;t it? &#8211; ed<\/i>) and the coldness therein. 20&deg; this morning, five inches of snow, ice on the mountain roads, AND 50 MPH winds! I&#8217;m finding it harder and harder to keep up with the wood demand in the fireplace. Mr. and Mrs. Pup are happy to encourage my stoking the fire, but it doesn&#8217;t leave too much time for anything else, like writing (<i>it didn&#8217;t seem to bother <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/To_Build_a_Fire\" target=\"_blank\">jack london<\/a>. -ed<\/i> Except he died at 40.). <\/p>\n<p>I actually have a few pictures on the camera that I&#8217;ll present in a nearly context-free post later today. If you&#8217;re lucky, I may actually post them in chronological order this time. Wouldn&#8217;t that be a surprise!<\/p>\n<p>Your pal,<\/p>\n<p>bob<\/p>\n<p><font size=\"smaller\">P.S. My vivacious writing partner has come down with something relatively brutal, so The Question is out of the question for a while.
