It's day one of Independence Day weekend: so there'll be more folks coming and going on motorcycles, hauling boats, or parked in front of friends' or relatives' houses.
I grilled lunch - but that's on the other side of the house.
In the spirit of Public Service Announcements: have a fun and safe holiday weekend.

Webcam's Back! - After a Really Simple Fix
About five minutes ago, the webcam came online again. Finally.
I'd spent hours over the last 13 days, going from obvious fix-it procedures like rebooting the computer to spelunking through the digital depths of the system, trying to figure out what had happened, and how to correct it.
Our schedules finally left us free at the same time, so my son and I got together after lunch. He's 13.
He read the email I got from USTREAM, sat down at the keyboard, looked at the user interface, said something like 'I see what the problem is: You don't have "Video Broadcast" selected.' He clicked the checkoff box, and this webcam was back online.
That's why the better trouble-shooting guides start with questions like 'is the unit plugged in?' and 'is the power switch set to the "on" position?'
There's already been a hummingbird at the feeder, since that shazam! moment. They're generally just blurs on the screen: but there's the traffic and trees to see.
School opens next week: There'll be quite a bit of activity then, around 8:00 and 3:00.

Harvester Waiting at the Corner
"Nothing runs like a Deere."
"Harvester on the Street"

Not every farm in this area uses John Deere equipment, but quite a few do. This harvester - a combine without the header equipment, I think - is the sort of rig that drives by from time to time. I live on one of the more logical routes into town, from anywhere south and east of town.
