Ice storm: no sweat

Sunrise,icy_parking_lot2 The forecast was for 3 to 6 inches of mixed sleet and snow, but we only got about one inch of packed sleet last night. Fortunately, it wasn't as cold as it was yesterday, so scraping the ice off the windshields wasn't too hard. Afterwards, I seized the opportunity to take a sunrise photo.

"Blog With No Name"

After several months of tossing about various semi-clever names for this blog, I realized that there's just no way to encapsulate the variegated main topics I cover in a single phrase. So, I finally decided not to decide and just left it the way it was, without a name. Except now, drawing attention to not having a name gives it a name! I also figured the allusion to my '70s folk/country rock roots would be appropriate. Since I didn't have any good desert photos available to use as a background theme, I picked this one of a rural road in Clay County, South Dakota that I took in August 2004.

This (or that) year's
blog highlights

Blog highlights have been compiled for the years 2010-2012 thus far, and eventually will be compiled for earlier years, back to 2002.


Explanation

The "home made" blog organization system that I created was instituted on November 1, 2004, followed by several functional enhancements in subsequent years. I make no more than one blog post per day on any one category, so some posts may cover multiple news items or issues. Blog posts appear in the following (reverse alphabetical) order, which may differ from the chronological order in which the posts were originally made:

  1. Wild birds (LAST)
  2. War
  3. Science & Technology
  4. Politics
  5. Latin America
  6. Culture & Travel
  7. Canaries ("Home birds")
  8. Baseball (FIRST)
