Well, I know I've been away for quite an extended period of time (yet again) and although my regular readers have long thought me dead, I can assure you I am still very much alive.
For the last 7 & 1/2 months, I've been keeping in touch with the outside world through Facebook and email. I know, not befitting someone with a registered URL address, but I've had somewhat of a falling out of sorts with the internet. Aside from keeping an eye on the positive effects the Tea Party movement has had on politics and the 2010 mid-term elections, I've pretty much become an internet recluse of sorts. Hopefully that will change. I've just gotten so tired of politics all the time. Suffice it to say that I'm happy about the outcome of the recent elections and hope these events will start having a positive and restorative effect on our economy.
Back about a month or so ago, I received a notice from my web host that my monthly bandwidth allotment was exceeded and as a result, this web site was down for a number of days. Apparently this was due to a bunch of people "hot-linking" my website's images for their own use in other sites around the internet and my site was also being overrun by search engine bot scans. Thankfully, to resolve the matter, all I needed to do was add a couple of Wordpress plug-ins to my site and that appears to have solved those problems.
OMG, I can't believe we are approaching Christmas already. Where has the time gone? In less than a month, I'll have to switch the website theme for the holidays. The weather is supposed to be nice this week so I'm also going to try and get a jump on putting up the Christmas lights this year. Last year was a nightmare with trying to replace all the blown bulbs. I might just forget all that nonsense this year and buy new lights instead (not that I can afford it). We shall see.
