No posts for several days! Sorry about that, dear readers. As mentioned previously, I was in Denver for a couple of days, Cocoa Beach for a couple of days, and on a Scout campout for a couple of days. How the time flies. It turns out there was plenty of high-speed internet service in Florida, but there was too little time. It’s always something.

Here’s a picture of Reader Number Two (he has very reflective eyes!) relaxing on one of the comfortable cots in the leader’s cabin at Camp Kirby, where Troop 262 spent the night on Friday before tackling the Klondike Derby on Saturday. Only it wasn’t too Klondikey, with temperatures in the 50’s on Saturday. Still, we did our best and had fun. Sadly, our numeric results were lower than last year’s, but you can’t win them all. We’ll get ’em next year. Maybe. Number Two looks a little nervous here because the two big guys on the upper bunk looked like they might be coming through at any moment.

Florida’s weather was nice. I stayed at the Cape Winds, which is right on the ocean. I like having an apartment there rather than just a hotel room for a long trip, so I’m willing to do without the Marriott points that would otherwise build up pretty fast during a launch campaign. I’m looking forward to my next campaign being here in the United States rather than some remote location. I don’t have to be away from home for as long as usual, and it will be almost like normal life! Restaurants! Stores! People! Streets! Ocean! Comfort! Not too shabby.

Time for bed. Bye.

Here’s Reader Number Two having a look at a beautiful valley here in Pennsylvania. I really enjoyed that view.

Happy birthday, Gary!

As mentioned yesterday, no blogging next week. Check back in on Monday the 23rd.

Congratulations to Reader Number Four for finally joining the fold of The Only True Blog in the World! That’s her on the right, along with Readers One and Two and our non-reader friend. Number Three is outta luck.

I’m going to Luxembourg next week and not bringing a computer, so there will be no blogging. Whatever will my loyal readers do? Will they notice? Doubtful.

I only have two or three more weeks’ worth of blog pictures waiting in the queue. That can only mean one (or both) of two things: either I need to choose some more pictures from my vast archive (a distinct possibility) or I need to take some more. Since I’ll be in Europe next week, maybe I’ll be able to find something to take pictures of. Maybe that can be next week’s contribution to the blog. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

Speaking of blog pictures and limits, I need to have a look at how full my website server account is getting. I have pretty definite limits, and I may be getting close soon. What then? The way I see it, this means one (or both) of two things: either I need to take some pictures out of the archives (horrors!) or I need to pay more more server space (more horrors!) or I need to find a free place to host pictures. Okay, that was three things, but my intentions were good and that should count for something, no? No? Anybody out there?

Here are a couple of non-readers in the rocks. We like them anyway.

The first Intel-powered Macs were announced at the Macworld Expo tonight. Joy reigns in Macland! I gotta get me one of them.

Here’s a group of people watching a guy giving a presentation on racing pigeons in a Pennsylvania State Park campground. It was actually an interesting presentation, and both the people and the pigeons were fascinating.

Paul and Melissa are going home tomorrow morning. Boo hoo! I’m really going to miss them. Come back soon, Number Three and spouse!!

I’m too sad to write any more tonight. Besides, it’s just after 11:30 PM at this point, and I have to get up at 5:00 tomorrow morning. Off to bed.
