Good morning, Netizens...

Before I wade into the pile of wildly-unpredictable material referred to as PENDING this morning, I need to make a few comments about some changes that are coming on in the next few days at Community Comment. Boy, do I have a load of stuff in the pending pile this week!

First, the picture that has adorned A Word A Day's Daily Word since this Blog began is truly going to change. My biggest problem with finding the right picture is simply one of a durable copyright for the picture, and also finding the right picture. I believe I have several good candidates, but just in case someone has a better idea, please feel free to forward your ideas my way. I hope to have something ready to deploy by the beginning of next week, as A Word A Day list server does not run on weekends which may buy me some time.

If you are in Coeur d'Alene this morning, don't be surprised it if rains, at least for awhile. I have been tracking an impertinent little rain squall since it first appeared on the NEXRAD radar shortly after dawn, and as of five minutes ago, it appears to be destined to hit Coeur d'Alene dead on the nose. However, do not expect any grilled specialties sandwiched between the weather forecasts. However, this weekend we in the Spokane region are going to cook, with expected temperatures near or past the century mark. Time to close the curtains, get nekkid and hug the air conditioner vent.

So, we march forward. Thank God it's Friday!

Dave
