The Big Picture

By -
Brian sent us a link to this site last year, so when I saw preview of the Best of 2008 was posted I took a look. You can go to this link to see some amazing shots http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2008/12/the_year_2008_in_photographs_p.html. If I was as savy as Brian this link could have been just described as "here". Very good brother.

How to make a link

In order to make a link you have to use a little HTML. The markup for links looks like this:

<a href="http://URL_TO_LINK_TO">YOUR LINK MESSAGE</a>

This is called an "anchor" tag with an "href" attribute that contains the url of the place you want to link to. You just have to be careful that you have the an opening "a" tag and a closing "/a" tag with the pointy brackets and make sure that they match.

This will create a blue under-lined link like the one below.

How to make a link if you're composing a new message

When you are in the main editor (not adding comment, you add a link by :

* typing the text for the link that you want to show up like "click here";

* selecting that text;

* click on the 3rd button from the left (it kind of looks like a knot) in the menu bar at the top;

* paste the URL into the box that pops up.

You will now have a link to your desired site that says "click here".

Family Contacts

 Carey called me and asked if I could find the listing of contacts for our family that he created years ago.  I did have a file copy and Carey and I updated it.  I have attached this here in Word and Pages that can be edited for new entries and updates.  There is also a PDF copy.  I added sections for Aunts & Uncles and Cousins.  These sections are missing people and dates, but perhaps I can work with Kristin to fill in some of this.

 When watching the evening news today, I saw an image of coal barges lined up at the docks at the USS Mon Valley Steel Plant.  Of course the news segment was about the White House blocking the sale of USS to Nippon Steel.  My mind wandered to to dad's career at the Robena Prep Plant.  I didn't think that it was still in operation but I searched for more information.  I found that the Robena deep mines closed in 1983, but plant continued to operate until 2017 processing coal from surface mining for Consol Mining.  It seems that reclamation of the site began many years before 2017, most likely mandated by local concerns about environmental damage from seepage from the three large slurry ponds and other surface contamination.  Dad took me out one Sunday afternoon to inspect the dikes and berms around the ponds.  We had to hop into one of the big company trucks to traverse the dirt roads around the site. I read a couple of articles about the ongoing l...
