Kite Flight

We'll be there for the third year. It is an awesome event. Their are kites on sale for reasonable pricesat the kite flight if you don't already have one. Also they have food too. We usually just pack our own picnic. I'm not sure about this year but in the past they have had a "Grand Launch" at noon. There are also demonstations of stunt kites and a huge variety of different kites available. I hope to see everyone there. Jammie and I think it is the best city sponsored event of the summer.

a TIP for Posting Images :

I think you will find what works best is if the largest size you use is
540 pixels wide by 360 pixels tall. That is 7.5 inches wide by 5 inches tall.
Please try to keep the KB as low as possible with out getting "MOSQUITO" vision.
This will help viewers who use dial up internet connections.
-THANK YOU

The Case of the missing Bears?

Some of the Bears were out of hibernation and on display in downtown Racine but most were inside because we went after 4PM on Sunday.

Randy Johnson pitched a GREAT game but in the end lack of DBACK run support and a spotty bull pen cost him the game.

Update on updating Orths.com

Please sign the new guestbook and try out the guestmap as well (buttons are on the right hand side). Any comments on the redesign would be appreciated. Also when posting pictures please try to limit the width to a maximum of 600 pixels. Blogger has changed as well, which should make posting even easier, however it seems like they still have a few bugs to work out as well. If you have any questions send me an email.
