Seems like whenever we return to civilization from an extended visit to a land of zero, or limited,
internet signal, it's like being resurrected from the dead. I'm sure you're tired of coming aboard and seeing the same (cute) picture for over a week straight. But here we are again, at a decent little campground on the side of US 290 near
Hempstead, TX. Not
WiFi, but the
GPRS/EDGE is about as fast as I can remember.
Anyway.. over the past month we've made some changes to the blog. While the general appearance remains the same, we've been able to add a lot of new elements, because Blogger finally made it easy to do.
Starting from the top, you've probably already noticed the slide show. I picked jackrabbits to start, but will probably change the subject matter from time to time. If you want to see a larger version, just click on an image.
Below the slide show, I just added our shooting schedule for the next 2 and a half months. This is much more convenient than doing it in a post and then watching is scroll down, down, down and out of sight (and mind). It's always going to be right there. That big gap between the
AAWC trial at
Hutto, and the
Pack Hunt/Desert Hare Classic, represents our "vacation" in New Mexico. We'll be running jacks, eating green
chilis, and drinking tequila. I also may venture into Mexico for some discount dental work and new glasses. And maybe this will be the year I finally meet Steve
Bodio face to face! That may mean more tequila.
The next couple of blocks of items remain pretty much as they always were. I should point out a few new links in the "
blogroll". First, they're not all "blogs", but that's just a technicality, right? You can now link to both of our
Photoreflect sites:
Events, for your dog's pictures in action, and the
Nature & Art site. You were probably also wondering what's up with the
"Life With the Georgia Reiniches". First one not named
Reiniche, (or Jenkins) to guess correctly will win a $5
Shot On Site gift certificate. Hint: check their archives.
I also added
Fark.com. Yeah, like he needs our help. If you've just crawled out from under a rock,
Fark is the number one visited site (OK, occasionally number two) on the
internet. Go there and you'll see why. It's addictive.
Last, at the bottom of the sidebar, is the return of the Backwards Bush countdown calendar. Where we're about to go under 400 days!
Dog posts and more puppy pictures coming soon! Just weighed
Sandia. 49.5 pounds! Holy Crap! And one other news flash: We now know why Rally has been so slow of late. She's begun a tear of the achilles tendon on her left leg. So she's back on the disabled list for at least two months, according to Dr. Don Hulse of Texas A&M. Thanks doc. :(
