Blog Problems

 

• Unless there has been a change over night, Carol for Peace cannot access her blog to post. I hope the problem is cleared up soon!

 

• Alex (my cat) has had recent problems with some spammers posting—yes posting, not commenting—on his blog. Thus far, we have deleted 3 such posts. I have no idea how they got access to Alex’s ID and password.

 

Pending Execution

I received this email from my long-time friend, Priscilla:

I posted about Jack Alderman back on December 12, 2006 and again on December 27, 2006.

 

Here Comes Ike!

 I received this update from CNN late last night:

Residents living in single-family homes in some parts of coastal Texas face "certain death" if they do not heed orders to evacuate ahead of Hurricane Ike's arrival, the National Weather Service said Thursday night.

The unusually strong wording came in a weather advisory regarding storm surge along the shoreline of Galveston Bay, which could see maximum water levels of 15 to 22 feet, the agency said. 

I am concerned about folks in the Galveston and Houston areas. This hurricane is being billed as a real killer. I am also concerned about the increased frequency of highly destructive storms, which at least one talking head says is caused by global warming.

 

Smiles

I can’t end this post after writing about so many concerns without the opportunity to smile. So, how about some KATZ? I still have hundreds of ‘em!
