The blog has been given a bit of a redesign in honor of the National Day of Mourning in response to former President Ronald Reagan's death. This is going to only be a one day thing, so enjoy it while you can. Incidentally, the American flag used in the background of the banner on the top of the page comes from a picture I took of the flag at the Veterans’ Memorial next to the courthouse in Brainerd. The picture has been titivated, however, in order for it to be more aesthetically pleasing. I have a feeling you'll be seeing this flag on the blog in a month or so as well...
