Well, there's a problem with the e-mail change. If I change the main e-mail address, I also change the URL of our website (not the domain, but still...). So I'm rather stymied, but still sick of the spam.

The title is appropriate because we just finished watching Horatio's Ride, the delightful Ken Burns' documentary for PBS about Horatio Nelson Jackson, who in 1903, with a mechanic and a "bulldog" (looks more like a Staffy or a pit bull) named Bud, drove cross-country in 1903 in a Winton motorcar, back when paved roads in the wilderness were just a pipe dream and parts for the oft-broken machine had to be shipped in by rail and in several cases by stagecoach. Tom Hanks provided Jackson's voice and the narrative was supported by recreated hardships in a real Winton car, photographs taken on the journey, and vintage music.

Simply delightful!
