Dreary-cold and rainy here…

 …but maybe more pleasant where you are—whatever the momentary conditions, happy Thanksgiving to all.

On a slightly less momentary note, somebody on Twitter this morning inquired how many of us have been on the internet since the long-ago year of 1993 (when the internet was still spelled with a capital I). I was.

I also, for the faded record, had a blog before the word "blog" was invented, and it was not that much different from this one in spirit, if not in execution. According to the internet (which, of course, knows everything now) "blog" became a word in 1998. I have no tangible record of a blog before that year, but I do have one from that year—November 11, 1998, to be exact. Its skeleton still exists on the Wayback Machine, here. (None of its links work, of course—link rot carried to its ultimate conclusion.)
