Under the revamped schedule, Tech Stuff will now appear twice a month on Fridays. And how convenient that the iPhone 5 was announced by Apple this week? Their announcement also included the release of IOS6, new iPod Touches and Nanos, and a revamped iTunes. Was there anything to be excited … Continue reading →
We have a new pet of sorts — or, rather, hubby will tell you he does. We’re reasonably confident it’s a young Texas Spiny Lizard. Young, because she (we believe it’s a female) is about half the size of the larger versions we’ve seen throughout the yard. Over the last … Continue reading →
Tarzan’s claim to fame is sleeping in unusual positions, so I managed to catch him in one of his favorite ones. Then I captured the rest of the crew. They seem to know when the camera is near, so they have to pose. Then I remembered Ajax, who was on … Continue reading →

My paternal grandmother’s favorite bird was a cardinal. Whenever I see a cardinal, I think of Grandma. This photo was taken several years ago when I was stationed in Virginia, but I see cardinals all the time here in Central TX, on the ranch, and down in San Antonio. As … Continue reading →
I have an extensive to be read list. In fact, it’s probably more like a book case. I have a physical book list. I also have a ton of e-books, most of them in Kindle format. All are waiting (mostly patiently) for my time and attention. My reading has been … Continue reading →
