You may have noticed my blog links have been updated and reorganized. And it's already in need of updating. I split may old Illinois Blogroll into Springfield and (other) Illinois blogs.
I had previously left off Rich Miller's The Capitol Fax Blog for some reason. Not sure why considering I look at CFB daily and occasionally link to it here. Although based here in Springfield, I included Rich in the Illinois Blogs section because he deals primarily with State government/politics and stays away from local Springfield items
Amy Allen's Obiter Dictum is deserving of a link simply because Amy is way too dedicated to blogging. It also serves as a balance to all the commie liberals I'm otherwise inclined to link to.
Quad Cities blogger The Inside Dope was added to my Illinois Blogs just cuz I like the site. Mr. Dope feels it's good to post a weather radar shot. Know anyone else like that?
Glad you like the site, um... Eleventh...
ReplyDeleteI think the posting of the weather radar shot would perhaps be more understandable if you realized that we've been under drought conditions in our area for a couple months now. The rain last night was a pretty welcome sight.
I stood on my porch in the middle of the night and enjoyed it for a while, and then figured others might be just as glad to see it as I was. The area is starting to look like a dust bowl, with brown grass and shriveling plants, not to mention stunted crops. Evidently, the rainfall during this summer is quite a bit lower than even the dustbowl days of the '30s.
And let's face it, there isn't always a lot of juicy material out there. Sometimes you go with what you've got. ha!
