Probably too late for it to matter for you, but I transcribed that weather.csv file into the comments above.

Re: SVG Viewport and viewBox (For Complete Beginners)

Thank you!

I'm not sure I've found a resource yet who has used the concept of panning rather than cropping. Panning made so much more sense to me (not sure why the "cropping and scaling" stuff I had been reading never sunk in).

I think I can finally move to the next level.

I know what I'm reading this afternoon! Thanks, Ian. Thanks, Kezz!

Wonderful! Now where do I click to find your similarly illuminating explanation of the wackiness that is viewbox and viewport?

Thanks for the name check, Kevin. You picked one of my better days too!

1. No idea about Sat, but I've had luck with Wireless services elsewhere. I'd not rule them out as there seem to be a few options in OK.

3. None that stand out regarding traffic, but you can't buy beer on Sundays or holidays or cold if you want it over 3.2.

4. LOL, no.

5. Assuming Tulsa-area is similar to OKC then your best bet is Best Buy. :(

#6 yes, maybe, yes, yes, not likely, canned, when there a perfectly good cows for the grinding?

You're not likely to find a carneciaria (sp) in Tulsa, but maybe.

#3 More likely to assume you have a 'church home'; If they don't just tell them you do and move along.

Sadly, I'm useless for the rest.

Re: Introducing Jasper at 1000 Days

Glad you stopped by David. I'm always fond of kudos like this--more so from the person who's work inspired me in the first place.

Normally I try to capture the action and emotion of a piece of art. You illustrators can make it tough to translate a scene literally. I enjoyed figuring out how to write this one so close to the original.

Jasper is a character I'll be returning to in the future. Soon I hope. The good ones I like to let simmer a little after I first get them out there. I'll shoot you a note when I do.

If I can offer any reverse inspiration you'd most likely find it under one of these tags: pilgrim, solex, wasp, or maquette. The first three are the different thread of 'shanty' the last are overt character sketches.

Again thanks,
Douglas

"None of the above is new"

A good portion of that is copy and pasted to avoid you having to look around for it to define my context.

I'll probably play around with this one a bit. Initially I figured the firs one to get killed off in an accident. But clearly my subconscious is interested in playing up the more sinister angle somehow.

Thank you right back.

Glad to know that a little bit of morning brain clearing might get someone else to thinkin'.

Not looking for inspiration in these prompts. Looking pretend to work for 'the man'.

Not on topic?

The project plan and his body both told him he'd die before the project was complete. His mind and heart disagreed.

I'm trying to be a chef not a short-order cook.

Yep. I just mean to point out to me mostly that learning to write better isn't just about putting the Beginning before the Middle and the End after the Middle.

Sometimes it's the nuts and bolts of language that need learnin'

Re: Giants are to Elephants as Humans are to:

Sure a a cow at 4x consumption provides plenty of resources. I underestimated a bit there. They scale more like deer for a ratio than chickens.

As for the trees I realize that plenty of trees exceed 30 feet. But plenty of bushes and shrubs exceed my height as well. I wouldn't call them majestic or worthy of awe. Which is more what I was going for. As a human, I look at a 30 footer from well below the lowest branches and think, "That's a thing!" An 8 foot bush in my back yard or in my trail with branches starting at my knees makes me think, "That's a thing in my way!" instead.

These giants would dig the Pacific NW.

@fred I like thinking constructively too. However, you're falling into the same trap I do everyday. Writing about not writing is still writing. Even when I not-write write I still pause to punch up the verbs. I still think may way around my passive voice. I still double check my commas.

It's not interesting content, but I try to make it correctly not interesting.

Let's see how this week goes. And thanks. It's nice to know there are folks out there taking the time to read this at all.
