Yesterday morning was COLD. The forecast was for it to be 26° but we got another 21.7. This happened after we had completed half our usual walk but the longer I was out there the more painful my hands became. It was probably only 22-23 while we were doing the walk.

Is there a gasoline shortage? I don't find any News stories about there being any. However, when I went to the Love's Truck Stop here in Benson to get Desperado a fill up I found that they were out of regular and mid grade. That was bad News. The good News was that they were selling premium for the price of regular. That is the first time I have ever put premium in Desperado. I notice no difference it how it is running. Read the rest

This is my second posting using the FREE Astra Wordpress theme that I installed in a sub-domain on my host server. On 30 November I was able to get it moved from the sub-domain to my regular domain but at a price. All the pages in the old site were linked to a Home page in the old site and I want the Home button to take you to Wordpress. Therefore I have maybe 400 pages that have a link that needs to be edited.
