Fragments From Floyd

I'd Call KEN -- for odd jobs well done. Our neighbor Ken is ready to let it be known he is available to get up and do what needs to be done at your place in Floyd and nearby parts. We are recent customers, and I have no reservations telling you that you'll be more than satisfied with Kens' beyond-the-call-of-duty service. He'll come when he says he will, do what he tells you, charge what he told you, and leave you happy.

Well, while you're here, let's see what we have in the Friday grab-bag of websites...

Roanoke Sierra Club * In case you were thinking about coming next week for my "Personal Ecology of Place" photographic memoir, this link has the details.

Give a Listen * My buddy Jim Minick does today's WVTF radio essay, worth a listen. You can scroll down for a couple more of Jim's essays, two of mine, and several by Michael Chitwood, also highly recommended.

Keeping up the Pace / Frail Elderly * Move it, move it faster, and be positive. This is a great article for folks in mid-life who want to know what they can do to remain active of body and mind in the seventies and beyond.

New Dark Crystal * The original back in the early eighties was one of our kids (and their dad's) favorites. Now, the technologically-enhanced next installment of the story is about to come to light.

Dinosaur Soft Tissue Preserved * This is the kind of gee-whiz stuff I'd love to have run across when I was teaching. Even some FRESHMEN would sit up and take notice (before going back to their instant messaging in class.)

AccuRadio * For those with radio reception (we get ONE channel) this won't be such a great find. But for us, this custom music channel selector was a great find yesterday.

Festival of Trees at Hoarded Ordinaries * If you find topics of interest at Fragments, you'll find lots of kindred spirits each month at the Festival of Trees, this month hosted by my buddy Lorianne at Hoarded Ordinaries. Take a look.

SnakeTracks * For those who can't get enough snake. Here's the "World's Largest Snake Enthusiast" website, recently new to the web.

ERRATA: The Pace/Frail Elderly link has been fixed. Thanks for the prompts. My Control-V isn't working consistently of late. Think it might be the effects of spilled or spewed coffee on the keyboard.
