Bugs, redux
The problem with spending quite a bit of time in doctors’ offices and hospitals is that these places are more often than not filled with sick people. While this is not entirely surprising – after all, how often do well … Continue reading
Bugs, bugs, bugs. And I’m not talking coding here.

The good ache, part one
It had rained – a lot – but we had a break in the weather and it was time to do some layouts and cleanup, as well as check the progress of some of the things growing out in the … Continue reading
Death and life and death and life
It isn’t just animals that die, of course. People can (and do) die both suddenly and not so suddenly. Case in point: one of our customers, who had been with us since almost the very first, died unexpectedly early in … Continue reading
