Apologies
Blogger
frustration levels remain high as I'm still trying to work with this
little old laptop, which a client has named “The Sickly Snail.”
Youall already know that Scott Adams usually posts intriguing ideas
for discussion. He's posted one today. This computer cannot deal with
the sophisticated software at his web site. You probably don't know
that there's a nice family-friendly post about toys at
daddytypes.com. Nice blog...for and by guys...lots
of pictures. This computer has a very hard time uploading pictures.
I'm not asking it to contend with vicious sites like The Blaze, The
Huffington Post, or NYTimes.com, but this computer is so “old”
and slow and low on memory that it can't even upload blurry little
flower pictures from my own phone.
I'm sure the Sickly Snail is not making this Link Log as boring for
youall to read as it is for me to write...to myself, too, I
apologize. It's taken five hours to assemble this Link Log.

you have or need a roommate? What makes a person a good roommate? Are
you one?
Most
readers of this web site probably grew up reading The
Waste Makers
(yes, I read it in grade five) and rejecting the twentieth century
marketing concept of “planned obsolescence,” or rejecting things,
places, even people in favor of “the latest model.” Like the car
shown here. Little did the owner of this car realize, when he
discarded it, that “antique” car shows are a major tourist
attraction in my home town today. The older the car, the more miles
on it, and the more bizarre it looks, the better. Anybody who could
get an engine into this clunker and drive it across town would
probably win a prize.
Phenology
This
year's phenology story continues to be about how cold weather late in
winter affects the “signs of spring/summer” across the Eastern
States. In Kingsport, Tennessee (ten miles away but at a lower
altitude), privet and honeysuckle have fairly well stopped blooming.
At the Cat Sanctuary, privet is still just budding. And Elizabeth
Barrette reports that in Illinois killdeer still have nests on the
ground... around here, the young ones would be flying by now.
