Not So Smoothie

The common household blender is an often overlooked household appliance. But to a gremlin, the lowly blender is the paintbrush of chaos.

I am please to say the all of software upgrades have been completed successfully and most of the bugs that come with a change like that have been found and squashed.  I found a big one recently when I discovered my most used fonts were missing.  Luckily that is an easy fix.  I have a few new models to finish up and then a new story will begin.

War of the Worlds Tripods

For Halloween day, Slim selected something to remember the 1938 Orson Welles broadcast of H. G. Wells’s War of the Worlds.
