Now let's try this

"Cowboys and Indians" by Mark Francis

Sorry, just a test of the system. I am trying to see what I can or can not accomplish in terms of programming with this blog. Right now I am trying to see what it would take to link to another site to run a piece of code I've found. Uncle Jim might be interested in this link, or perhaps cousin Patrick, it's a neat little snippet of code for creating jigsaw puzzles and you can try out the puzzle by clicking here.

I know I said I was finished with the Francis family's websites but the revision keep on coming. I'm off to have a city hike - very boring compared to a walk through big meadow but my butt is starting to approach the size of a medium sized draft horse and I must get mobile. When I get back, I'll put the finishing touches on Mark's Website, add an exciting new original by Tim, and update some pricing on Dorothy's prints.

I would like to mention that the code for the puzzle was created by a company called "somefrogs" and they have been great to work with. I'd downloaded their free code, had some problems installing it, and when contacted they had a fix to me in no time. You seldom get support like that, even for expensive software. When the time comes for me to purchase the components I need for my next project you can be assured that I will check with them first to see what they have to offer in terms of commercial software. You can check out their site by going to www.somefrogs.com

Please feel free to leave a comment. Ever since old Rebel rolled on me and I've been strapped to this old hospital bed I've enjoyed whatever posts come my way.

Please read the disclaimer

I am a highly trained athlete with years of living in the wilds of northern Canada. I was raised by wolves. I've wrestled Grizzlies with my bare hands - twice I was killed by them and twice I killed them. I rode with Gabriel Dumont. I was lead oarsman when our ship landed at L'anse aux meadows. I poured Sir John A. his last scotch and held the spike at Craigellachie.

In short, I've been around and I would feel real bad if someone with less experience went out on one of my adventures and ended up like, well, like me. If I say it's a tough go, it's a tough go and maybe you should think twice about doing it.

I'll tell the story one day about the ill fated ski trip to Pyramid Lake where I saw a grown man cry at the prospect of death. He didn't believe me when I told him about what was required of a participant in what we liked to call the Cursed Black Trail of All encompassing Evil and Death. Don't you be like that fellow.

But on a lighter note! Please leave a comment, good bad or indifferent as it is the only payment we writers receive. Unless of course you count that big advance royalty cheque that Rocky Mountain Press will be cutting me for my soon to be released book "101 ways to die in the wilds of Canada"
