the dance craze of tyrants

---------------------

The 100Mhz Non-Parity SDRAM Small Outline DIMM (memory chip) stopped working on my notebook PC.  I've ordered a replacement, crossing my fingers that it might be here by Friday.  Without the extended memory, I'm limping along with the remaining 64MB of memory.  We field-tripped to Munising today and I snapped a photo of the Munising Bakery.  We are enjoying a break from single digit temperatures as the mercury climbed into the 20s today.  We installed a new furnace in Cabin 2 today to go along with the R38 insulation we installed a few days ago.

And though the association between the goose-step and authoritarian regimes is permanently sealed in the collective cultural consciousness, the march today is mostly viewed as an obsolescent remnant of a maniacal past.
