Oh, where to start...

I've taken a month off from the blog. As if you didn't notice. Then again, as few hits as I get over a month, I'm guessing you didn't notice. But a few things did happen in that timeframe...

First, the server the site sits on changed. That took up a little of my free time.

Second... I received my Woodbadge beads. If you're not in Scouting, that's probably not significant to you. It also took up a lot of my free time over the past 15 months...

Third... Obama went to Iraq, and his poll numbers are dropping. McCain went to Sturgis and made friends with a bunch of Harley riders.

Fourth... Georgia was invaded. Obama's still trying to figure out how Russian tanks got past a bunch of good ol' boys with shotguns...

Fifth... The Olympics started a week ago. They've gotten very little press thanks to the Russians. China can't be pleased....

Sixth.... Things in the airlines continue to suck, but oil prices did drop. But China also kicked a lot of cars off the road for the Olympics, and Georgia was invaded, so who knows what will happen next week.

Seventh... the piglets are back in school, and while the world might be screwed up, at least some peace can be found at the Pigpen.
