Memorial Day 2010
Far past time for another update.
As we head toward summer, on this first holiday of the year, let us remember those who served, who fought and died and those who serve today.
Past readers may note changes in the design of this page, the body type should show as either Garamond, Baskerville, Georgia, TNR or Verdana. Failing any of those being resident in your beast, you'll get it in whatever serif or sans-serif font you have as default viewing.
The Curmudgeon's eyeballs are aging, as a result, the base font size was upped a tad to make things more easily read and a light grey tint was added to the background.
I call your attention to the links bar, there are several additions there: "Knives, Fire and Fun!" which has some excellent receipes; "Flinders Family Freer" — author and biologist Dave Freer's journey from South Africa to a island off the coast of Australia and life there; "Home on the Range" — photos, commentary and philosophy by a mid-western lady writing as Brigid, well worth reading.
I've corrected an oversight on my part by adding a link to the general section of my photo gallery.
If the changes in the style are pleasing to you — or displeasing — please comment as to why.
I'm considering venturing into (for me) uncharted territory, specifically, sales of items made for the kitchens and patios/yards on-line and possibly at local venues. We'll see how that goes; I have to get a site up and my son and I have things to do in his shop before it's capable of production, even on a custom basis, plus licenses and assorted paper-work.
That's all for now.
