Note for Haloscan Users:Over the past month or so Haloscan started (the end of July) handling of trackbacks has improved though it is still pretty broken for carnival type posts. Now, instead of rejecting every attempt to ping it accepts single pings for a while and then will start rejecting them. I will keep trying to track back to Haloscan boarders but can make no guarantees for any particular week.
Note for Typepad Users:
Typepad continues to behave similar to Haloscan for trackbacks. I been able to get trackbacks to most, if not all, Typepad based boarders. I have to do it one at a time and wait a while in between pings but Typepad does not go into semi-permanent rejection mode like Haloscan.

Friday Walkingstick
This pretty creature visited the porch the other day, and happily walked all over my hands. If only macro shots of my hands were more flattering I’d post one here. Instead, here it is walking on the edge of the arm of a Muskoka chair (called south of t…

Another creature (besides all the birds I’ve been featuring lately) I saw when I was in Florida earlier this summer was this little family of manatees (look closely — it’s an adult surrounded by two juveniles). There’s a little marina…

Feline Friday: Brave Miss Lyra and The Boys

Ask the Agony Cats
