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.
A spider’s work is never done
While we were having breakfast early morning, so was this European garden spider (x3), AKA Cross Spider (Araneus diadematus). She was just finishing up the arachnid version of Jimmy Dean Pancakes Sausage on a Stick — prey nabbed earlier and

Friday Cat: She did it!
We’ve been remodeling the den, which makes for some rather strange things popping up in other parts of the house. This fish, for example, normally hangs in the den – but had to find a new home for a while.

Consider this a quick smack upon the brow of Saturday’s journey to the family farm.
While there, we visited a neighbor (in the rural sense, meaning someone quite a distance away). Her grandson has saved some local wildlife from certain doom…
