…Just have someone with your name hit the Today Show. I was checking my email a few minutes ago and I saw I had a couple of comments over at Gary-Boyd.com that had eluded the spam filter. So off I went to see what was said and to make sure …
Hurricane Alex may have missed us but it’s been raining all week. I have discovered that if I plug my computer feed into the plasma in the kitchen where I sit at the table all day working on my sites, that I can keep the Wundermap from the Weather Underground …
Thunderstorms and Heat The week started off with thunderstorms rolling through the area…Lights were blinking, internet connectivity was problematic at best but we kept on keeping on. Wednesday’s storms missed us and by Thursday we were into the “Heat” part of the week. What I mean by heat is that …
Let’s Talk Weather You know it’s summer here on the Texas Coast when you step outside before sunup and the humidity settles around your shoulders like a heavy damp cloak. At daybreak the mercury has been hovering in the mid-seventies on the thermometer for most of the past few weeks. That makes …
For some reason this year my wife has spring break off. It makes no sense, she could never get spring break off when we, you know, actually had kids off on spring break. But this year she has spring break off. Guess what? Grandson #2 is all ours each and …

I am working on moving my original blog to a new home. A lot of tweaking and redoing things I forgot doing two years ago…I’ll probably be posting and polising the chrome over there for a few days (or weeks)…If you want to check up on me try me at …
Pardon the parsity of the recent posts. I find myself in that strange world of being in between. After thirty-five years at the same company (yes, most of my co-workers weren’t even born when I started), I find my skills and knowledge not as welcome as they were. Management changes …
