As the
Seattle PI notes "Paul Allen's '
Flying Heritage Collection' of 15 planes, mostly dating from the 1930s and '40s, is noteworthy both because of its rarity -- several are the only models of their kind remaining -- and its condition -- almost all of them have been refurbished so that they can be flown."

Instant Agility: Build Your Own Dog Agility Equipment
How to build cheap-and-cheerful dog agility equipment using materials found in your local hardware store, along with some training tips from Mrs. Maxwelton. There are a number of other sites that do this, but not that many have clear step-by-step instructions.
So far we've only had time to add a few obstacles, but hope to add a few more over the course of the summer...

Moo: Our local farmer, who raises beef cattle organically (no antibiotics, no fertilizers on their home-grown feed, etc., etc.), keeps all of his cows with new calves in a plowed (dirt) field for about two months after the little ones are born. Why?

Need a PERLexpert to help me figure out why a canned script I use to FTP from one server to another has suddenly stopped being 100% reliable. My host upgraded my PERL version and that may be what has caused it to puke.
The script is running on a freeBSD web host on Apache.
I think the script is generally solid, it worked fine for years, and I haven't changed it. The original author is no longer supporting it, I don't think.
I can budget a couple of hours at $100/per for this. If it takes longer than that to fix, I will need to approach my client to pay for this, which would be a joy and make me look even more incompetent than I already do. I'm hoping for a bubblegum and bailing wire solution.

The "Google Custom Search" box on the blue is causing a horizontal scroll bar to appear in Firefox/Windows. The input box is just too darn large. I'd guess 100 pixels or so too wide?

Disentangling from the neighbors: If we pay (or pay part), can we "force" our neighbor to drill their own well? We have a shared well which is on our property.

One man appeared more often than any other on the sports anthology
ABC's Wide World of Sports: Yugoslavian ski jumper
Vinko Bogataj, whose spectacular 1970 crash was shown in the show's opening montage to the words "and the agony of defeat." (Despite the brutality of the crash, he suffered only a concussion.) He still lives in his hometown of Lesce, Slovenia, and since retiring from his factory job in 2005 has devoted himself to
critically acclaimed painting. Charmingly enough, he had no idea of his celebrity status until he was asked to appear during a special to mark the
show's 20th anniversary in 1981.
