Rain, rain….go away.

Michael Anthony is featured in this morning’s San Jose Mercury News. I read him the online version over the phone this morning…he laughed a bit about the quotes the reporter picked up for the article….they make him sound just like he’s from California.

I’m gonna go tromp around in the rain today, and see if I can find Michael a real newspaper. There is supposed to be a photo in it.

Ok…my plane leaves in two hours. Any e-mail, and/or corrections to unruly typos (which are no doubt planted front and center on my webpage) will have to wait ’til I get back next week. I’m not taking my laptop. I think I’m gonna be stopped by airport security anyway, I always am….but this time I have a small stuffed alligator in my carry-on bag. It’s been handed down, and back-n-forth, through 3 generations of women in my family….I’m gonna try and pass it off to someone else. I always have something wacky in my luggage… completely harmless, but wacky.

Well, I could blame the rolling blackouts here in California for not letting me get my web page updated….only I live next to a hospital so my 6-socket power strip’s exempt. I could blame the weather, since I had to drive through a wacky Oakland snowstorm to get to work today…but the snow really didn’t lie there on the ground for very long…it was gone by the time I headed home. Anyway, tonight I updated pieces of the list of custom bootmakers. I’m not quite done, but I’m close. Those with a keen eye will notice changes in lists for Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, and Oklahoma (Blucher Boot Company’s changed hands again).

I’ve got my page update just about done. I hope to get it posted in the next day or two.
