I really hope that when they built up the waterworks, they went far enough. Amazing storm/flood photos from the Corning area, too. Jeeze, I hope the weather lets up on you guys soon!

Hard to believe it has only been a week since the new look for Bookish Dark. I'm lovin' it. Ver-r-r-a nice. For those of you who remember the "once in a hundred year's floods of '93" - check out fifteen years later.....channel 13, 8 or 5 out of DM or - www.eiaphoto.com for Corning's flood and tornado.

I won't let things get so crufty in the future! Hidden links for pharmaceuticals were placed on a single post and the comments for that post were turned off. I know this happened pre-upgrade because I saw the comments were off before I got to work on the site. I've now also taken some other precautions, including a security plugin that informs me I've done several smart things to protect you already, but that there were a couple small things left to do... which I've now done. There's another, more drastic, step we can still take should we feel it necessary (and I don't at the moment). So the long and short of it is--tempest in a teapot averted!

So glad you noticed that!! We appear to be ok. They just got that one post and it's been corrected. All hail the household technogod.

Fond childhood memories--maybe I'll dig up some photos of us playing on/around it and scan them in. LOVE the mental image of you and Betty going a-skulking in the night. OK, it's not so much a 'cloud' as a 'list' of tags on the right-hand side of the main page. Trying clicking on one--especially a big one--and see where it takes you. :-) Stay safe, sweetie!

There is a certain panache that goes along with owning a cellar. It is one of the things I will miss about the farm. Kai can tell stories about sliding down the cellar door and "going to the cave" during storms. During my childhood, the shelves were lined with jars and jars of yummy (and some not so yummy) things to eat. My sis and I used to go on midnight raids for a jar of grapejuice to drink with the crackers we snitched from the kitchen. It was a "can we get out of the house, down to the cave and back in without waking up the folks?" Sounds like we could be visiting the shelter again tonight. Storms last night missed us by just two miles. Lots of roofs torn off, trees down and some outbuildings down. Plus, the flooding Kai alluded to. I am getting used to the new format and like it but am still looking for the cloud you spoke of. Almost finished with E George's 'Careless in Red' and still don't know whodunnit. That is one of the things I love about her books.

I mean, I'm sure it isn't as much fun when you actually need to use it, but it's still pretty cool that you have one. Also, very glad you are safe and sound.
