Rajiyyah’s leg looking a little better
Her leg looked better tonight. Less swelling, and even a scab over the wound for the first time. Cleaning it out was pretty easy — she is always good. The wound washed up clean, even though she had pulled the bandage all the way down around her...

Vet Visit with Rajiyyah
Some days I really feel jinxed. I get a mare going well and then something happens… Not something minor. No, it has to be something major: laminitis, pulled tendon, colic surgery, deep cut near tendons with possible infection… (I know, no relation to anything I’ve done. If...

Hole in Sun Room Roof
Roofers uncovered good size hole in the sun room roof: approximately eight inches long, by two inches deep, by a sloping four inches wide. No wonder patching the roof didn’t work. The low pitch of the roof combined with three-tab shingles meant water didn’t run away cleanly....

Spooky Books
On the list of things that would be cool but utterly useless (except maybe to entertain the cats), was Spooky Books from Things You Never Knew Existed Web site. This set of antique-looking books hold a surprise: the middle book pushes out on it’s own when someone...

Roofers are coming! The Roofers are coming!
Whoever coined the phrase “happy homeowner” should be shot. I like my house, but you know I’ve had to repair almost every major system in the house since I bought it. It gets old after a while. Money pit, but at least it’s an investment (small comfort...

An Award in Dad’s Honor…
I haven’t written much about my Dad. As with any parent, there are times when you love your parents and other things that you find a little embarassing. I just found an article from the Manassas-Warrenton Camera Club, a photography club my Dad founded quite a few...

Farrier and Rajiyyah’s lovely leg
Farrier came tonight. She was very pleased with how Isis’ feet looked, and Rajiyyah’s front feet — until we spotted the cut on Rajiyyah’s back leg. The cut is in a location that is hard to stitch due to the tension on the location. Rajiyyah was not...

Soft Hyphenation in HTML
You know how a word processor will break a long word at the end of a line? Well you can tell HTML to do the same thing. It won’t automatically break words, but you can use a soft hyphen to define where a word should break....

Rode the Grey Wonder Mare™
I rode the Grey Wonder Mare today, for the first time in several weeks. She was amazing. The best trick I’ve learned with Rajiyyah is to let her warm herself up doing free lunging. Her concentration is much better after she exercises herself for a little while....

Great news today! Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) 2.1 has become a candidate recommendation. Finally! It’s only been around for five or six years. Pretty soon it should be a full recommendation. Excellent work! Related Images:

Kitties in the Back
The Back Yard Kitties(tm) are gradually getting accustomed to me. Last night, I discovered that they are spending time at my back porch on the patio. This is right up against the house. (Luckily they don’t get into the trash or anything.) Today was the first time...
