A few tidbits (again)

I was going to start out by saying that there hasn't been a whole lot new or different to write about, but now that I started, there are a few items to mention --

• Our pickup is now officially Alaskan after the DMV office computer here came back on-line after a few weeks out with the flu (i.e., computer virus). The joys of being in a very small town with no outside connections.
• It continues to be bitterly cold, so I haven't ventured out for walks or anything like that during the last few days.
• The low temperature recorded yesterday was indeed 0-degrees F. Today was a few degrees warmer.
• Some of you may have received my quick e-mail earlier today, but for the benefit of everyone reading this -- our house in Tigard had a showing today! In this housing market, any showing is a good thing. If you can, we ask for your prayers that God's will be done in this matter. We really do want the actual transaction to go smoothly as possible, so if this isn't the right buyer, we can wait for another.
• If you take a look at the left sidebar on this blog page, you might notice a new section of links to Petersburg-relevant information. Feel free to click on through and explore some of the aspects of our city.
