We had our first frost here within the last few days, and it sure is frosty this morning... won't be long before we're having snowball fights in these parts. I have to point out the fun-sounding aspects of this for those of you in tropical climes... saying pretty soon now we're going to have to be shoveling doesn't get any more pleasant knowing there are people out there tanning and surfing.

A bunch of the tweaks here yesterday were to clear up HTML compliance issues (thanks again Frans), so theoretically there should be fewer issues today, rather than more, but again, if we've broken something on your browser, please drop a line with some details about what's happening.
