First I would like to say thanks for bearing with me on this slow posting week. I left Fargo on Monday and headed to northern California to stay with and help some family. I will be in California for about another week until I depart for Washington state. I am making the most out of this trip and visiting my mom in Ephrata, WA, for a couple days on my way back to Fargo.
HOT!
Everyone knows California gets a lot of sun (at least in most areas), but 94 degrees in the middle of May? Due to the lack of air conditioning where I’m staying, not much gets accomplished in that kind of heat. I did manage to build a shelving unit before noon and called it quits. The temperature is dropping slowly, so the next week should be nice. Here are a couple of pictures.

RSS Feed
Last week I did a blog review of Marcus Hochstadt and mentioned how he doesn’t rely on FeedBurner because at any moment they could delete your RSS feed and all of those who were subscribed. About two days later my FeedBurner wasn’t showing the email subscribers I have. So my number for a couple days was down below 100 :(. I was about to get worried and then the email numbers kicked back in and were much higher than before :). After last months unsuccessful attempt of acquiring a specific number of subscribers, I lowered my expectations for this month to 170. Then yesterday I was at 173 with a lot of May left to go. Serves me right. I try and meet my goals right at the end of the month knowing they were just high enough for me to reach.
Also if you subscribed to my RSS feed by email and want the 300 Entrecard credits I advertised, you need to tell me either by message at Entrecard or email me at: Josh@JoshWhitford.com so that I can get you your credits. Otherwise I have no way of knowing you subscribed.

Robert’s last blog post..Expanding Broadband Access and Allocating Spectrum More Efficiently
Beautiful view. I myself just got back from a wonderful vacation on the shores of Lake Superior.
@LUCKYLADY I actually am not from Weed but I have a lot of family here and do spend some time here each year.
@Robert I’ll do a review of your site this week.
@Cash Boy I hear we are having some nice weather in the Minnesota area, the North Shore is a very beautiful place to visit.
94? Is that it? I am in Red Bluff and we were hitting around 105 here. I would have killed for 94.
Rachel’s last blog post..Photoshop gone bad
@Rachel I am sure the nick name Dead Bluff fits and it is not even August yet. But compared to Minnesota where we had snow two weeks ago this is really hot, haven’t the time to adjust to the heat.
What an incredible view, and to think your Grandparents are blessed to see that everyday, when most people need to take a vacation for such a privilege! Thanks for sharing…. (and yes, it’s been HOT for May)
Janet’s last blog post..A Welcomed Weekend
I have come across your page several times today while surfing from Entrecard and so I have to say hello. The scenery pics are amazing! I lived in the mountains of BC for 30+yrs and have moved away and I get real homesick for them so I love to at least look at pictures. The heat well all I can say is I wish we had a little of it here in Manitoba.
Jeannine’s last blog post..In the midst of unproductiveness
Those are awesome pictures. I went to Lake Tahoe skiing last January and have some great pictures of the mountains and seven or so feet of snow that fell while I was there. You can beat seeing something like that everyday. Nice Blog

Great pics. Your grandparents wouldn’t want to trade houses with my dad and I in the suburbs of Atlanta would they? I mean who wouldn’t want traffic, cars, and noise rather than water, trees, mountains, and serenity.
And we would love for you to review our blog if you get the opportunity.
BlueWorkhorse’s last blog post..Fantasy: Rang Report - Buy Low
Some how I doubt that they would want to switch, my grandpa built the house and out building from hand about 45 years ago. I would be honored to review your blog sometime this week, I look forward to it.
