so now you’ve started with the hearts and flowers already! you’re as bad as walmart. i’ll say one thing for that holiday though, at least the days are noticeably longer by then.

I had to replace the NODWISH banner with something, and this was ready to go. Stores have been displaying this stuff for over a week, so I’m late to the party. I need to put together an inter-holiday banner, but I haven’t decided what.

i guess i’ve missed the party [almost] entirely then. i stocked up on cat litter before christmas, so i haven’t been back to walmart yet [note to self: down to one bag of cat litter].

i could do without the santas and elves and so forth, but i’m going to miss the lights when people have taken them all down. i had one neighbor years ago who left their icicle lights up year round [and turned them on most nights too]. pretty cool.

The woman who rented the first place I lived in down here had different strings of lights on the house all year and turned on the color for the next holiday, i.e. red for VD, green for St Pat, orange for Halloween, red, white, & blue for the 4th, multicolor for Xmas. She didn’t take them down until she left, and always had something on.

Sort of off-topic:

“… red for VD,”

LOL. A friend whose initials were VD used to end her memos, “To contact VD, call xnnnn.” Of course, when her initials changed to VC, being approximately our age, she did not continue the practice…

BTW, I’m impressed that your script can extract a title from my highly nonstandard blog post format… or is it from the RSS feed, which is a very old standard?

Hmm… if you preview a post, you lose the last-blog-post line.

It reads the feed, Steve, and the Preview is a separate plug-in, so the two aren’t playing well together, probably global vs. local variable problems. If a choice had to be made, preview is more important.
