So I know I'm posting while offline, but what the hey, they'll show up when the blog comes back.  Here's one Google that actually made me chortle aloud:  "stun guns on alligators."

I wouldn't try it.

The blog should go offline tomorrow morning due to bandwidth restrictions.  As usual, it will be back on the 1st.

There's not going to be anything going on here anyway.  I was sicker than a dog last night and could barely drag myself out of bed this morning.

Eponym's in-house RSS feed seems to have stopped working several days ago.  Of course, if you are one of the 12 people subscribed to it, it's likely you won't get this information until it starts working again.

The Feedburner feed is still working just fine.

I had a very long day at work and I'm just going to take a shower and go straight to bed.  I'm totally exhausted.  I'll catch up on blog stuff later.

Bloglines has been having a problem for a long time.  Some blogs just weren't updating at all.  Yesterday someone at Bloglines must have applied the cyber Ex-Lax.  Hooray.  Mr. Volk's feed is working again for the first time in about three months.

I was raised to be thankful for every drop of rain we can get, but I am now officially tired of rain.  I could go without another drop for, oh, at least two weeks.  The rain gauge was full when I went outside to feed the dogs a little while ago.  It had 2 1/2 inches in it yesterday, and that was the accumulation of about a week.  So that means it rained at least 3 1/2 inches here today alone.  Maybe more, I can't tell since the gauge was full to the brim.  Several of the small farm roads around here have flooded, but none of the roads we need to use, so we're still mobile.  In the flood of '98 we were stuck at home for three days before the roads opened.

Why do I get trackback spam that references the main page of either Google or Yahoo?  Is this someone maliciously trying to trick me into blocking them?  I don't get it.
