Photo - 1943. Truck with a load of logs

via lakemac.infohunt.nsw.gov.au

This is a work truck from 1943, used to haul logs to the lumber mill. I imagine that it was similar to the truck my granddaddy "Lud Givens" was driving when he accidentally backed over his grandson, my brother, James Richard Winters, fondly remembered as "Pelo".

Collecting postcards is a hobby that I wish I had started as a child. This one is a flash back to the past when Destin was just "the luckiest fishing village in the world."

I think this charity is very worthwhile. The military put their lives on the line and the families do their part.

What to do when the printer's out of ink

Some web sites in beta format, (familysearch beta, for example), will not allow you to post a reference via e-mail or facebook or whatever, (see "Share").  Probably because it's still in beta or whatever.  These same sites will, however, allow you to print the document.  I found a possible ancestor at the new beta familysearch and I'm out of ink, so what to do, what to do?

Here is a couple of options that my very non-geek brain came up with.  Click on the little box "print" command on the web site page at issue.  When your printer options box opens, you see a variety of "printers"; at least on my printer options box, you do.  Some of those options include your regular ink-driven printer; I for one, had not installed a new cartridge and it's the early hours of the a.m., so I'm feeling kind of lazy.  Also offered to me is a Notes feature that comes with the Microsoft package (I'm running on Vista, here);  however, when I opened the document, it had only captured one of two pages.

I should have tried to capture the web site page with a "screen print" command; I even have a utility in my Firefox Browser to capture and save a web page in picture format.  I forgot to use that method.  What I finally did was use the Microsoft XPS document writer option in my printer options box.  Anything saved in that format can be opened by Internet Explorer, (not my default browser, by the way).  So, that was my answer to the problem.  This time.

I could also have gone to file and saved it as a web page (html) document; would that have worked?

Daily Jigsaw Puzzle - Puzzle of the Day

I still enjoy the jigzone puzzles; sometimes I think it was more fun when I was still learning how to do the various types. Nowadays, I don't feel as challenged or I get kind of bored. My favorite is 70 bulbs, but it takes a really colorful puzzle to enjoy that type.
