Swamped
I awoke to the sound of a thunderstorm trying to push my roof in. There was so much standing water in the backyard I thought it might get in the house before I left for work!
Good thing I decided not to take the bike to work today.
I finally figured out the avatar thing. If anyone is interested in the tech details ... I was using Photoshop for all my imaging needs and had the preferences set for automatic creation of thumbnails and previews. Well, it attaches a thumbnail of the image to the file and increases the file size. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but when the file itself is about the size of a thumbnail, another version of that would just about double the file size. Also, it was saving TWO thumbnails - one for Mac and one for Windoze.
Once I cleared those preferences the file was way under the 20K limit and here we are!
I think I'm going to go easy on the picture posting tonight. I have way too many things to do around the house.
