The mek.highcroft.com site has fallen into serious disrepair and neglect. The blog is fine (needs some design help) but the main MEK site is woefully outdated and needs a full refresh.
Not that anyone besides me really cares, but I think of it like my house or my car; it needs to be well maintained or ultimately someone will say something nasty. My site is as unkempt as the exterior of my car currently, and I'm expecting someone to scrawl something like WASH ME in the electronic dust.
Well, the exterior of the house is now clean (I still need to clean the windows). The car is going through the carwash today. The web site, however, will take a bit longer. If you only read my blog, the changes will be minimal. If you have explored other parts of my site, you will hopefully see some great improvements over the next few weeks.
I want the web site to be fresh, not just one of the sites that turns the WWWeb into the WWcobWeb.
Potholes are a way of life anywhere there are seasons, but about 50 feet from our driveway, there is a BIG pothole. I mean, big enough that you could hide several ducks in there. Our Lab Hershey could likely lay down in it and be comfortably below the level of the surrounding road. How is this? I don't know, but I've only hit it once... I do NOT want to hit it again.
The pizza man (one of many), however, hits it almost every time he goes by. The poor Saturn he's driving must hate it. You can hear the suspension bottoming out every time, just before the front bumper scrapes hideously on the pavement. It's the automotive equivalent of fingernails on a chalkboard, I guess, but I fear that sooner or later, someone will disappear in this pothole... only to emerge on the other side of the planet.
The problem is, the more that people hit it, the bigger it gets. Not just deeper, but wider. Longer. The next door neighbor and I talked about it today, noting that the weather (below freezing at night, 60s during the day) is perfect for making and growing potholes here in Minnesota... especially since any asphalt fix on the part of the city would likely not be very longstanding. So, we;ll wait a month or so before the pothole gets fixed.
My guess is, the city will not have a very big hole to fill by then... since there will likely be a car in the bottom.
