and don’t believe the counter on this site.

It *is* correct, but it increments every time the page is loaded, even if it’s the same person over and over again…

So, it’s not about *unique* visits, but how many times the page is loaded.

I’m glad that’s all clear now.

It’s all over the news, topping the links on both Drudge Report and Google News.

I could put link after link showing the devastation from the tsunamis that slammed Indonesia and surrounding countries. I even got an email this morning with pictures, some showing bodies lining the beach.

A few days ago, news reports were saying that the death toll could top 30,000. That’s a lot of people. The next day it jumped to a possible 60,000 people. Last night it jumped to 80,000+ people. Jake & Maggie posted about it yesterday, providing some good links about how you can get involved in the relief effort.

This morning a news report is stating that the death toll has risen above 120,000.

Videos and more. This is probably your best bet for visuals on the damage.

May God provide comfort to a broken world.

So this morning on the way to work it ended up being a caravan of friends.

I passed Heather on 24 on the way down here, and she was right behind me on 114. I rolled to a stop at a red light, and she was right behind me. I gave her a little wave, letting her know that she was not alone in going to work on this tired morning. It’s not the first time this has happened, and I’m sure it won’t be the last.

When the light turned green and we started moving once again, I noticed that right behind her was another friend who works right down the hall from me. He also lives right down the road from me in Swansea, so I’ve seen him plenty of times on my way to work.

But this time, I saw both of them. What are the chances that the three of us would all be caught in a row at the same red light on the way to work? Me, Heather, and Dan.

Made for an interesting drive into work.

So you’re standing on a ledge,
It looks like you might fall
So far down, or maybe you were thinking about jumping
And you could have it all,
If you learned a little patience
For though I cannot fly,
I’m not content to crawl
So give me a little credit,
Have in me a little faith
I wanna be with you forever,
If tomorrow’s not too late
But it’s always too late when you’ve got nothing,
So you say
And you should never let the sun set on tomorrow,
Before the sun rises today

I will never leave you
I will not let you down
I will never leave you
I will not let you down…

I’ve been following the news on the earthquake that happened off the coast of Indonesia a couple days ago, keeping up on the impact it’s had on that part of the world.

The earthquake was rated at 8.9, and is the worst one in 40 years. It caused 30 foot waves to hit the coastline of 11 different countries - with almost no warning. People out sunbathing. Others playing soccer. And then water.

Right now the count is over 50,000 people killed, and estimates say the toll could go above 60,000.

The power of water is incredible.

I found this on a friend’s blog, and it’s pretty cool. Really makes you think about things.

Well, I guess I’d rather have Google win than M$.

Welcome to the new home of my blog!

I now have *total* control over it as I’m not using blogger. I lost all the comments in the transfer, but I’m still gonna try to recover them. Also, I managed to break blogger in the process, so I can’t post to where it was anymore. Once that’s fixed I’ll let everyone know to come over here from now on.

Isn’t blogging fun???

(and yes, I still need to do some stuff over here, but as far as I know everything is functional)

… Winter Storm Warning extended until 10 am EST this morning…

A Winter Storm Warning has been extended until 10 am this
morning for all of eastern Massachusetts and all of Rhode
Island. Snowfall amounts will exceed one foot in several
locations of extreme southeastern Massachusetts. The
warning area includes Worcester… Boston… Providence as
well as Cape Cod and the islands.

Bands of snow continued to shift eastward across the warning
area early this morning. Thus far snowfall amounts have generally
ranged from 8 to 15 inches… with the highest amounts approaching
Plymouth and the Cape Cod canal.

The steadiest snow will continue through the morning rush hour…
then taper off to scattered snow showers and flurries by
early afternoon.

Total accumulations should range from 8 to 16 inches across the
warning area by early afternoon. The least amounts will be found
across Worcester County with higher totals east to Boston and
Plymouth and south to Providence… Fall River and New Bedford.
The exception will be across the Cape Cod canal to Hyannis… where
lingering ocean effect wrap around snows will push storm totals
near 20 inches.

Strong northeast to east winds along the coast have resulted in wind
advisories for east coastal Massachusetts and a High Wind Warning for
Cape Cod and Nantucket. Locations across Cape Cod will see near
blizzard conditions at times this morning as the combination
of falling and blowing snow reduces the visibility to below 1/2 mile.

Power outages have occurred on Cape Cod and the islands with
numerous reports of wires and trees down. Wind speeds have
peaked to 59 mph at Nantucket Island… 55 mph at Marstons Mills
and 54 mph at Provincetown.

Travel is not recommended this morning in the warning area.

Hope it was a great day for everyone!

Jesus Christ is LORD.

If at first you don’t succeed,

    No use being a damn fool about it.

It’s taken a lot of time, but I’m starting to learn.
