  2. Good point. Hey, on another note, I think you once provided a link (a graphic) to bird kills associated with wind turbines and other man made stuff. I tried to locate in the comments but couldn't find it.

    Do you have that handy? Thx.

  3. Bob,

    searching comments on this site is pretty hopeless anyway. Is there anything in the config you could change?

  4. Ah, I did see one of your comments where I responded with "Purrrfect". I think that was it, but I didn't recognize it when going hastily through the comment list.

    There isn't any config change I can make. I think there is an upgrade that costs money which might allow more config options. Maybe one day I'll do so or just get my own website.

    However, the timing is bad right now as last week I was called out of retirement to do some consulting. Not sure how much time I'll have for future blogging.

    P.S. In going through the comments I noticed that you've been around for over year. Thanks for your company, my friend.
