I realize Sand Creek Almanac would soon become way too dry and unlike myself if I were to only post pieces that I had written, edited, rewritten, etc. <BR/><BR/>Excuse me. Starflower just heard some sandhill cranes calling from the swamp, their likely nesting place. Gotta go, but I'll post about it here first I promise!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07879771115420282834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-3316566722775127402009-03-24T14:16:00.000-05:002009-03-24T14:16:00.000-05:00Forest, my friend—I appreciate your backup…but the...Forest, my friend—I appreciate your backup…but there are times when I think I probably ought not drink that fourteenth cup of coffee.<BR/><BR/>(See, Deb, if you don't post here, we'll post for you…Wouldn't want that, right?)Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-48532559319931510692009-03-24T12:32:00.000-05:002009-03-24T12:32:00.000-05:00Grizzled, Grizzled, Grizzled,You are eloquent and ...Grizzled, Grizzled, Grizzled,<BR/>You are eloquent and hilarious.

Go have your fun on Facebook. See if we care…<BR/><BR/>Well, actually we do care. And we want you to be thoughtful and write wise, considered pieces. But we also want to hear about you going to that little house down the path at 4:30 a.m. and hearing a saw whet owl while you were…well, never mind. Anyway, you don't have to be too thoughtful on our account. Upgrade your technology. Give up the old ways for speed and space…we'll not only forgive you, but we'll be waiting right here for your posts. (We wouldn't mind if you hurried it up a bit, though.)<BR/><BR/>Spring's coming is no excuse! :-)Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-82080629540921448202009-03-23T19:17:00.000-05:002009-03-23T19:17:00.000-05:00Lynne- And not to spend my time on the computer cu...Lynne- And not to spend my time on the computer cussing! <BR/><BR/>RuthieJ- Yes, I'm sure the computer will be less of a priority, but it will be convenient when I want to say something. <BR/><BR/>Jayne- It's spring fever! <BR/><BR/>Forest Wisdom- I admit I did have the same apprehensions about Facebook for a long time, and wondered if I had any real use for it. But everyone had a Facebook group for this or that, and even regular blog readers who weren't into blogging were there. So I reluctantly signed up, and since then I have reconnected with two of my best high school friends and enjoyed interacting in a more immediate way than blogging. It's not for everyone, but I guess communication is evolving...<BR/><BR/>Cindy- Facebook is useful for those sorts of fun things! :)<BR/><BR/>FC- Ours is about that same age, and feeling it, although surprisingly enough we do have DSL here.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07879771115420282834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-58776591634489865932009-03-23T13:22:00.000-05:002009-03-23T13:22:00.000-05:00Whew! mine is 6 years old, slower than molassess a...Whew! mine is 6 years old, slower than molassess and I'm on dialup.<BR/>I feel your pain.R.Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04905593499136090763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-75154117174809787822009-03-23T12:34:00.000-05:002009-03-23T12:34:00.000-05:00a new computer sounds wonderful Deb- and I'm enjoy...a new computer sounds wonderful Deb- and I'm enjoying FB too..
