If you have or are considering getting a paid account....

...then go read this. (Note that it doesn't apply to permanent accounts.)

I'm not sure why they're showing more love for people who sign up now than for people who already showed faith and signed up, though. People who already signed up can extend to get more time reimbursement, but, um, what if they just bought a year or two? Come on! Of course, I have a permie account anyway, but...it just seems backwards/kind of unfair to make the bonus for new signups so much larger than the compensation for people who had paid before the mess...there's probably a business sense in it somewhere, it just seems unfair.

Photos!

I posted my photos tonight instead of this morning, but I did post them. Only 8 photos today - one of a windmill, one of the bird at the office that gets on the windowsill (crappy photo, but the best one so far I've gottne of the bird), three from my parents' house (two more with birds!), and three random pics from the drive to my parents house (barns and one really creatively-decorated fence).

Tomorrow, assuming I do not forget, more farmland pics. I could post the first two tonight, but I want to do them as a group.

Frog Pond is not being industrialized in this round. The final vote was taken and the Frog Pond area stayed off the list. (One of the photos will go into that folder along with this note, tomorrow.)
