Christmas break/Vacation is almost done. :-(
I got a bunch of great stuff done this trip, including getting this blog software semi-operational. I've been busy the last couple of days; I need to finish my reading about how to use CSS to position elements on the page.
I did learn a few things about transitional html. I've done some reading about xhtml, and I think one of its precepts is that all tags must be closed. However, apparently, a lot of html tags CANNOT be closed. The way I found this out was using the w3c's (world-wide-web consortium's) web page validator.
I ran into a much more immediate physical last night (new-year's eve). On the way home driving (I was stone sober, for the record) I must have hit a freak rock because all of a sudden I got low tire pressure warning (the yellow thing in the lower left corner):
Then the car started beeping at me. My right rear tire was severly leaking. I parked the car and walked the rest of hte way home (1/2 a mile, maybe).
This morning I drove out and the spare on the right rear.
It turns out that 1) my car has a full-sized spare (which is nice); and 2) all the parts of the tire change kit are there and they work. So I will head back home, via another stop, and get the spare fixed when it's convenient.
Here's the car with the replacement on the right rear. It looks a lot different but it really is the same size.
My friend Henry, who also vacations in this area, has a vintage army jeep that he drives around this area. I think I knew he had it but I didn't realize that it was that old or that it was that type. He let me drive it around Thursday (he was with me the whole time) which was really fun. It's called a "Willy's Jeep" or an M38. It's just the sort of jeep that they drive in M*A*S*H.
The last paragraph and this one typed on a Frogpad keypad.
