It's been almost two months since I've updated this blog. Part of that was due to a technical issue: for some reason my hosting provider decided to block my home IP address. My guess is that my regular update of the "current weather" page (runs automatically every 15 minutes) looked like a robot attack to some automated script somewhere. Anyway, it took me several weeks to get around to debugging the problem and figuring out which tech support to complain to. It's working now.
The other reason for the hiatus is the weather. Now that we're having some beautiful late spring/early summer weather (ignoring the fact that cities are underwater just a couple hundred miles south of here), I've been spending a lot of time working in the yard. So far I've replaced a hedge, finished about half of a retaining wall project, and spread four truckloads of wood chips. I've also recently acquired a recumbent tricycle for commuting, with the intent of cutting way back on my car usage. Depending on the price of gas and how much I can realistically offset, I can probably pay for it in a few years (total gasoline savings so far: $1.98). More on that later....
