We have had a run of problems with bread lately. First had a bad bag of flour. Then problems with yeast that I think had gotten hot in a warehouse somewhere. Then the past month it just wouldn’t work right for me or Cat. Finely got the book on the old bread machine out and it mentioned over 80 degrees F. you need to use cold water from the fridge and cut back on the yeast. So here is the result:
Just about finished it off at lunch. She has another one in the machine now so will see how it does today.
Couldn’t stand the fireworks any longer. Took the new one the other day while melting the ice out of the freezer compartment of the fridge.
Decided to make them available so if anyone wants them here they are:
Trains
Fireworks
Ice
Enjoy!
This is a test post to see how the email posting works. Thought I had

My mom called about 9 to tell me that my dad was out of surgery. He has prostrate cancer and has already had it cut out once. This time they inserted radioactive pellets that are susposed to cause things to shrink. He came through fine. Has to stay in the hospital till he pees good and they see that nothing is gonna come back out that way then will come home.
Any comments? Yea, Nay, Get a life?

Eastern Coyotes Are Becoming Coywolves

I think this must be what we have been seeing around here in east central Alabama. They are much bigger than any coyote I’ve seen but the color and build isn’t like any dog I’ve run across.
Jacksonville Fireworks July 3rd 2005
And a plug for me… Took the pix over at Sean and Caroline Wellesley’s place in the pecan orchard of the old Edward’s Plantation North of the stadium. The fireworks are launched from their property and where I took the pix we were closer to the fireworks than the folks at the stadium parking area. Impact from the launches and star bursts was awesome!
Just as an aside about the pix that are showing up on the page.
Been looking at website photo programs. Spent 3 days this week on it. Last night (this morning ) up past 2:30 and still no joy. I have tried about 10 or so programs now and come back to just using wordpress till I can get something else up and going.
The plugin I am using is photon. I would like a bit more flexability but it works! and after a bit of juggling with the templates I have the thumbnails linking to the main post and the large picture in the extended part of the main post so the main page isn’t gonna get too much slower than it already is due to the increased bandwidth of the full sized pix.
Gonna keep looking and testing. Am fairly sure it’s something I am doing. Or not doing.
The day is done, and so am I,
Night fell long ago,
Morning light will come too soon,
My body surely knows.
And yet I sit,
And surf,
And browse,
Fingers on the keyboard.
But sleep creeps in,
Despite caffene,
Eyes close of their own accord,
Goodnight all…

Fuel ethanol cannot alleviate US dependence on petroleum
Any way you run the numbers, there just ain’t enough energy, the way we are trying to do it now, for the number of folks that are being born. Or land. Or food.
Green tea unlikely to reduce cancer risk

And it’s very unlikely that I will believe ANYTHING that comes from ANY government agency while this bunch of liars is in power.
They have already shown just how far they will go to attempt to control the “truth”.
