Gorgeous.

You actually made me feel a little sorry for those stinky ladybugs.

David – Well, fingers crossed on that escape! Those Russian hackers are pretty smart.

miguel – And some of that blows clear across the Pacific, too, I hear. But I didn’t realize how grim it was in Japan. Damn.

Allan – Not to worry. That’s my new favicon, which I made in Photoshop by manipulating Firefox’s exclamation-point symbol. My cousin tells me that some browsers are quite aggressive in caching favicons, so most IE users are probably still seeing the old favicon (which was a “falling rocks ahead” warning sign – a legacy from my original Blogspot blog, where a larger and more legible version of the sign was displayed at the top of the header).

With the comment blackout solved , this morning a little question mark appeared in the yellow triangular cartouche for Via Negativa so I expected trouble, but it seems ok. Is it?

We’ve been getting dust from China over hear, lots of it. Often wake up to a yellow sky and drying laundry turned brown. Even with the windows closed I have to sweep and vacuum the floor every day. The dust comes from the Gobi desert and is called “Kosa” in Japan. It’s always been here, but has been getting much worse lately and kills many people every year. Korea had to close down for a day last week to protect people. Hasn’t really felt much like winter this year.

Congratulations on escaping the Valley of BSOD! ;-)

Down south in VA, there’s been little snow, and a significant amount of green even in the “depths” of winter. But I just found wild garlic shoots growing out of my local hiking trail!

dale – Yep, comments and chants both are back in season!

Jarrett – Well, you know, I’m told that some men (not me, necessarily) find a blank stare sensuous…

Given how sensuously you can blog deep winter, it’s refreshing to hear that you still consider winter “blank.”
