We survived the cold snap. The weather warmed up again but then tonight we are expecting another cold one. This one is expected to be short lived.
We are now in Abilene. No not Texas, but Kansas. It is about 80 miles west of Topeka. It is famous for one of its sons, President Dwight Eisenhower. We will be exploring his Library tomorrow and probably a couple other museums also. We have learned the Kansas can be windy. Arcturus was a real handful with gusty north winds blowing across I-70 today.
We got our mail-in ballots into the post office today. I have to admit there are some things that are a real pain-in-the-neck with full-timing. Getting “snail-mail” is one of them. You must predict where you will be about a week into the future. Sometimes that is hard to do. We still like to wake up in the morning and say, “well which way should we go today?” We get lots of ideas at the visitor center when we cross into a new state.
You probably noticed that this e-mail has an entirely new look. My web-site provider offered me the free use of a mail list service. The way it works; I send my blog to the mail list service and it forwards it directly to each of you. My regular e-mail list chokes up when I have more than 30 addresses on it. I have about 90 regular readers and I must send each e-mail four times to keep it under thirty. The address header must contain all of the addresses in your group and that is a pain. Now you will each get an individual e-mail. In addition there are three url’s/mailto addresses that allow you to do the following three things:
1. Unsubscribe from the list. Either the url or the mailto will get you off the list.
2. Subscribe to the list. You can set up your spouse to get their own copy of our blog.
3. The Help option gets you an email of instructions that you don’t really want to readÂ… Trust me!
I welcome feedback on the new process. Those of you with permissive-spam filters may have to re-authorize this new sender. Be sure and let me know if you don’t get the blog at all. đŸ˜‰
Good Bye again from Kansas
