That doesn't work either.

I'm chatting with tech support at Comcast to try to find out what the problem might be The first level contact opined, naturally, that the problem was with the software here. I pointed out that every other host serves up pages to IE browsers without any problem - it's only Comcast that seems to have problems.

[update]
I blew past the second level technician and am being sent higher yet.

[next update]
Ticket written and supposed response in 48-72. I'm not holding my breath.

Meanwhile I've added the direct URLs to my previous post.

Steve, comcast is my provider also. Pics do not show. However, when I control click and select new window, they show up. I am Mac user - Safari is my browser.

Just noticed that the pics now do show up!

This structure is left over from the old copper mining days. Ore was sent down from the mines above to mill below on a cable and big bucket type thing.

This is around the corner and I decided that it was too steep and narrow of a trail for me to go any farther. DW decided to continue to the top of the trail. She does not have the respect of height that I do.

Hwy20 approximately five miles east of I35 in Iowa:

and someone who didn't make it to work today on time:

I should talk, however. After seeing the whiteout conditions from the blowing of YESTERDAY'S snow in Iowa, I turned around and went home. I'll try to get to Milwaukee tomorrow.
Are we spoiled weather-wise in southern CA. :p

Hey Geo, somebody had to take the pictures of her, right? ;)

The riderless horse in these pictures actually belong to a young girl of 14 or 15. She was mesmerized by Andi's camera and Andi let her do the picture taking. She was the only one who had the energy to scamper around, up and down, and catch up with the trail riders. We never slowed down for her. She and the guide were the only 2 that went to the top with Andi.

At the top. Amazing to see all of this copper ore. A side note on all of this is that the copper that was processed at the Kennecot mill was shipped by train and boat to Tacoma, WA.
