The temperature is rising and sunny days are forecasted ahead. Since Spring is finally here, I’ve decided to do some spring cleaning around here. Changed some things around, aesthetically, that I have been wanting to do for a little while. Sure it’s not much that anyone will notice.
Also, starting today, you will be seeing this as a new feature on the site: “Express Lane: 10 items or less” will be a near-daily collection of links to news stories and websites that I am finding interesting but may not get a chance to really write about.

For today:
