Word of the Day
beneficence \buh-NEFF-i-suhns\, noun:
The practice of doing good; active goodness, kindness, or charity; bounty springing from purity and goodness
From my grandfather Verus I learned good morals and the government of my temper. From the reputation and remembrance of my father, modesty and a manly character. From my mother, piety and beneficence and abstinence.
--Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

[S]he had disseminated around her what seemed an involuntary aura of beneficence and goodwill.
--John Bayley, Elegy for Iris

On this Day in History 1781 British General Lord Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown,
effectively bringing an end to the American Revolution. Pleading illness, Cornwallis did not attend the surrender ceremony; his second-in-command, General Charles O'Hara, carried Cornwallis' sword to the American and French commanders. As the British troops marched out to surrender, the British bands played the song "The World Turned Upside Down."

On this Day in History 1812 One month after Napoleon Bonaparte's massive invading force entered a burning and deserted Moscow, the starving French army was forced to begin a hasty retreat out of Russia

As resourceful as you are, can you fashion mud guards?

I might be able to do that, given time and some scrap metal.

The satellite Web dish is defeating me, for various reasons.

Groan and I are looking hard at Florida - Hurricane ilma may hit our families again. Demented Sis is near Tampa, and Groan's people are in the Keys. This is getting a little scary...

Ugh...it seems I have a new computer challenge.

Getting my Rush podcast files to automatically download into my mp3 player when I hook it up.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I've noticed the "push this" stuff, and the "automatically". Good luck....I have not a clue.
