Pretty Cold Out, Scout

Sure has been cold in these parts the past week or so. Still got snow on the ground from a couple weeks ago that hasn’t melted, and then got more on top of that, and then some more on top of that. Fortunately, it only came a couple inches at a time, but still, sure has been cold, as in single digit cold.

Just wrote a check for the gas (heat) bill, $208.94. That doesn’t include cooking, as we have an electric stove.

The past week’s Scout Report spotlighted a couple of interesting websites I thought I’d pass along: Turn of the Century Posters and Met History. See teaser images below.

WordPress 2.1 Upgrade

Upgraded the blog to latest WordPress Ver. 2.1. Did same for my Oil & Gas Attorney Blog a few days ago, also Bandolero’s Blog. Bandolero was really easy, as the web host it’s on has “one-step” installation and also “one-step” updating of certain programs people might be using, and WordPress is one of them. The look and feel seem about the same as before. There are a number of security improvements, I think. That’s all I have time for right now. Mainly, this is a test of the update, to seeif anything went awry. Seems to be okay.
