Dear Jute,

Have another pheasant waiting for you. You can do another one of your fantastic Saturday Suppers. As I say, Dad talks about it. He has totally dismissed me as a pheasant cooker.

Talked to Nance last night and she said ma is between mellow and grumpy. That's pretty good. The one problem now is that she sometimes won't sleep at night because she doesn't know who dad is and won't sleep with a strange man. Gets fatiguing. I'll talk to you about it briefly Sat. --She does sometimes take naps with him now in the afternoon. That's excellent because in general she doesn't get enough sleep. The problem there is that when she wakes up she tends to be pretty disoriented for a few hours.

Been working on Blogger basics. I'm not a natural at this computer stuff but I am making progress.

See you, --Myron

Will this work?

Ha, I am brilliant!!!

So, I know how to upload images now, the real trick being how to get the url, and how to copy/paste it easily and accurately, and I now have that down.

I still have to figure out how to wrap the text. I did it last night, but have forgotten how, and anyway don't think I did it perfectly.

Actually, the text is wrapping?

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Usama bin Laden may no longer have operational control of his terrorist network, the U.S. ambassador to Pakistan said Monday.

Ryan Crocker said bin Laden cannot communicate with his followers because he likely is hiding in a remote area, Pakistan's Geo Television and state-run PTV reported after the ambassador met with local journalists.

U.S. Embassy spokesman Peter Kovach, who was at the gathering, confirmed the substance of the reports. He said the comments were made at a lunch for senior Pakistani journalists.

Neither station broadcast a tape of the remarks, and Kovach said he had no recording, either.

According to Geo, Crocker also doubted suggestions that bin Laden's deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, had effective control of Al Qaeda, saying the fact that he issues occasional video and audiotaped statements does not prove anything.

The Al Qaeda No. 2 was last heard from on a tape that surfaced Sunday, urging all Muslims to take up arms and saying a refusal to join the fight against Jews and Christians would lead to the defeat of militant Islam.

He said the global Islamic community had "no hope for victory" until all Muslims signed on to the Al Qaeda-led jihad. His comments were contained in a 48-minute tape entitled "Impediments to Jihad."

The video portion of the tape was a still photo of a white-turbaned al-Zawahiri with English subtitles running under it. The audio appeared to be his voice speaking Arabic.

It was impossible to verify the authenticity of the tape.

Okay, the text wrapped just fine without my doing anything. Now to see if it wraps at all where I just used the image url and the aligh right command.

Okay, it does. I again assert I am brilliant. At least I am pleased.

Will The Smart Guy Remain...?

One last post, just to see if the profile picture will remain in future posts. If so I'm done for awhile with the mechanical messing I'm going to do.

Smart One

(And this is my try at typing. will have to see if it wraps around the mouse. I will say that I am delighted that I do now know how to upload photos, but I can also see now that I can't wrap around. This is a pain. There is an Html command for this, but it's getting late, I'm not going to bother looking it up just now. (Did look itu p but what I have doesn't seem quite appropriate. So I'm done for tonight.)

Will give this a try from desktop.




Worked, now I'm trying to get it to appear as my photo above mouse.
----------------

I've successfully moved the photo where I want it, now to see if it will appear without my profile.
----------------

Nope. Have to show my profile, this is anoying. Possibly sometime later I can go into the template.
-------------

And now am going to try one more photo (I've been working at this for five hours on Three Day Post), I think I either now know how to do it, or Blogger is just feeling better than before. Have no idea where the picture will appear.

Okay, it appears the image always appears at the top, either positioned left, center or right, but I have an idea the text can be moved around it. Will try.

Okay, it appears the image always appears at the top, either positioned left, center or right, but I have an idea the text can be moved around it. Will try. ...Okay, I moved this text, but couldn't move it around the images. Will try just typing.

Will These Pictures Upload

Ging to try uploading pictures for the first time. Have to put in some text...Forget the text, I just want to see if this works.

My Blog Is

So, my blog has reappeared. Will have to delete these last three post in a bit.

My Blog Still Isn't

FOXNews.com - Science - Insects Trained to Sniff Out Poisons, Explosives:

My blog still is disappeared. This is just to see if BlogThis! will work.


"Through the years, Lewis and a USDA colleague, J.H. Tumlinson, discovered that a tiny, predatory wasp known as microplitis croceipes had relied on odors to locate nectar for food and hosts for its eggs — caterpillars that damage crops.

The scientists also discovered that plants being attacked by the caterpillars give off SOS scents to attract the all-black wasps and that the quarter-inch-long insects could be trained to associate other odors with food and prey.

Rains said the wasps can be trained to detect a specific odor very quickly. The researchers expose hungry wasps to the target odor, then let them feed on sugar water for 10 seconds and then give them a one-minute break. After three repetitions of sniffing and feeding, the wasps associate the odor with feeding.

Enter the Wasp Hound — a 10-inch-long plastic cylinder made of PVC pipe with a hole in one end and a small fan on the other. Inside is a Web camera that connects to a laptop computer for monitoring the behavior of five wasps housed in a transparent, ventilated capsule.

When the wasps detect a target odor, they converge around the vent, creating a mass of dark pixels on the computer screen. Otherwise, they just hang out inside the capsule."

My Blog Has Disappeared

I can not get my blog to come up on Mozilla or Compuserve. I can log in, and I can bring up Edit, but I can not view the blog, and nothing comes up on Google Search. I get a "no such adrees" type of response or "This document contains no information."

Right now I'm going to see if I can post.

The time posting clocks have disappeared too. That happened last week.
