As you might know, we had an ice storm hit Oregon and Washington.  This knocked out electrical energy for a number of hours and there are parts of Oregon that still do not have EE.  I lost Internet access for an even longer period.  It was up a short time last night and has been down all day.  Moments ago we picked up the Internet and then it went down again.  Hope the e-mail gets through.

Then the blog had a hacker choke up the system with excessive use.  The tech folks blocked that IP address so the site is up and running.  When it is down, know that I am doing my best to bring it up again.  Sorry for the down time this week.
