I did something yesterday on this blog I’ve never done before.
I took a post down. I suppose it is something that can happen at any stage in blogging, and it’s a first for me.
It was a post about misunderstanding. And it wound up being a tad misunderstood. LoL.
Since I’ve been through the experience of having [...]

I tend to want to use the word ‘cool’ here.
This is quite interesting.
The physical distance indicated on a map is one thing we are familar with, but I’d never thought about how anyone could map other distances or proximities.

Martin Roth is taking a sabbatical from blogging.
He’s been at it two years and needs the break to be with his family, work on new projects and get the writing done that pays the bills.

Pakistan and Laos have now joined the list of countries affected by avian flu.
Millions and milllion of chickens are being culled, 7 people are dead.

Bird flu first crossed the species barrier in 1997 and is an influenza.
Two subtypes of [...]

There are three areas in Canada that currently do not have weather warnings out today.
I live in one of them. It was -42C last night, so normal temperatures today seemed balmy. Sunshine was a bonus.
I was over at Reverend Mike’s House of Homeletic Hash. It is very strange to see snow in North Carolina.
Europe hasn’t [...]
