Note for Haloscan Users:

Haloscan started (the end of July) rejecting trackbacks if they were submitted "too rapidly" by the same host. I don't know what the timer is but it is long enough so that it was very difficult to ping everyone that is using Haloscan for trackbacks. I'm sure that they are doing this to try to hold back the tide of trackback spam but it makes the service pretty useless for carnival type posts. Perhaps you can contact them and urge some different solution. Update: Typepad appears to be doing the same thing. Everytime I update the Ark it appears the timers are reset and the long list of MT autogenerated pings fail. Yecchhhh....

We had the driest recorded August since 1900, but we made up for the rain this week. Sasha had a two inch long splinter from a palm leaves on the ground. Dexter had the advantage that I do not let him off. Hence the "Rain and Pain" title for this weeks FNDB.
