Another quiet week, except for the elections. I see Scott Walker is out as Governor of Wisconsin; wonder what changes the new guy will put into place? Maybe he’ll fix the “Scott-holes” (pot holes).<\/p>\n

We had planned to visit Felicity, who is in Colorado for a house sit, last weekend but the weather turned bad and we postponed the trip until this next weekend.<\/p>\n

True to form, the first major snow of the year caused accidents on I-70 though Glenwood Canyon, closing east- and west-bound lanes. Some of those bridges can get really slick, particularly where the change in elevation causes a transition from wet to snow-packed surfaces. We were better off staying at home last weekend!<\/p>\n

Halloween was very low-key this year. We had no trick-or-treaters at all and I saw only one small group going house to house in another part of town. It was cold, granted, but there just didn’t seem to be much interest in trick-or-treating. It was a mid-week school night, and I think the local community center was running the Halloween party.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, eggnog is now in our grocery store. The holiday season must be in the air.<\/p>\n

There will be a few changes in my galleries and blog posts going forward. The company that I’ve used for several years to host photos and videos just raised their rates astronomically, from $225.00 per year to $1,000.00 per year and I am not going to renew my contract. Instead I am looking at software to create and host slide shows and video files on the server thats hosts this blog. I may have to pay a bit more for additional storage but rather that than pay a ransom.<\/p>\n

The home-grown slide shows may not be as slick as the ones created to date; the home-grown shows will have a different (and simpler) look. I’ve started practicing on shows I create at work, which gives me a chance to experiment and learn as I go.<\/p>\n

The biggest problem is that I can’t upload any more photos to existing galleries; I am “over limit” for the number of photos and video clips my $225.00 plan will accept. That is why no new images have made their way to, say, The Lot gallery, showing off the work we did this summer.<\/p>\n

It will be a bit of effort to convert the existing galleries but, in the end, I will have more control over them and save some money to boot. Sigh. As Anna RoseAnna Danna would say, “It’s always something.”<\/p>\n

Locally, our high school ladies soccer team made it to state finals. How do I know? This sign on our local city office:<\/p>\n

I’ll have to ask around to find out how the team did.<\/p>\n

That’s it for now. Thanks for looking in!<\/p>\n

Poor little Solette is having a rough go trying to recuperate from her spay operation. I hate seeing a kitten in discomfort.<\/p>\n

I’m “celebrating” a significant birthday, ending with a “5.” I begin my pension through the State of Colorado.<\/p>\n

Happy Trails.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
