I don't know who it was, but last year someone said we ought to put POND

that there are such vindictive people out there, that love negative
attention/vibes. ~ jan

It really has no value. Don't you that think anyone who can flood the
newsgroup can do it with POND in the subject line? He managed to add a
bogus "Koi-lo" header (in fact, I'm surprised my newsserver even accepted
it, but it was the easy way to prevent them coming in future).

snipped Roy's oooooooooooooooold comments

You know, that just wasn't necessary. I didn't see Roy, as I had to
killfilter that nym in all forms since it would have required reading
headers which I wasn't about to do. I figure if he has something pond
related to say, he'll switch his nym. To whom it may concern (Clancy & Tim,
yeah riiight): Stay on topic for goodness sake. ~ jan

You're replying to someone's bot.

If they read this I would like them to *PLEASE REMOVE* my name from those
disgusting ravings.

You know, I wouldn't have been surprised to hear a spring peeper a few weeks
ago here on the coast of Nova Scotia (OK, I would, but not _very_!) but
it's back to hard freeze this week. It's been a weird, weird, winter. Our
salt-water lagoon didn't really freeze until last week - other years we'd
skate on it in December. We've only had the road plowed half a dozen
times, and we've gone through more freeze-thaw cycles so far than we would
usually get in the next two months (which is when we usually face
freeze-thaw).

That is the nice thing about being in Texas; don't have to wait for a season
for the weather to change. Winter last week, 80°F today. Gotta love it!

Well, there's that. What with the mild winter, this summer will probably be
a scorcher. I predict multiple 100+ degree days. 'Course I work for a
utility so that isn't all bad.

Yep. Last summer was especially bad, with
high heat and sun almost without break. I
did so much less in the yard this summer than
usual (of course, getting older is part of it).

Fortunately nothing much seems to bother
the ponds, but I have them all shaded - enough
to keep the water from overheating and reduce
algae, but letting enough light in for healthy
plant growth.
