For my friend Alan. I saw this T2 Pinball Machine about a block from where we live. The tennis club was closing…and unfortunately, I don’t know how much it was to play.

Sky over Cacak
Sky over Cacak in November. When I took this, it had been a month or so over just overcast. No sun.
Sled
When it snowed, we had a hard time pushing Lydia’s stroller through the snow. So, we bought her a sled. She loved it! We even went to the park and let her sled a bit. Great fun!

First Snow of the Year
Shortly after Jan 1, we had some snow. It was great! First snow of the year. Here are some pictures I took. By the way, it started while a friend and I were in Belgrade. We had to drive back in it. Even though the pictures don’t look like it, they do plow the roads here.

Ice Storm
On Serbian New Year, we had an ice storm. We had freezing rain…all day long. By the time midnight rolled around and I headed to the center to see what was going on, I could have ice skated. Here are a few pictures I took on my way home.

Minnie Pearl
Minnie Pearl doesn’t have anything on me! (Actually, I didn’t realize there was a tag on the hat until Lydia and I were leaving.)
Epiphany
Monday was the Epiphany (on the Orthodox Calendar). Cyndi, Lydia, and I went to the river to watch. Part of the activities included a bunch of guys jumping in the river and chasing a cross made of ice. Here is a picture of the guy who “won
While we were there, Lydia also had a good time throwing ice into the river.
Vonage VTech 8100 Problems and Fix
Cyndi andI brought a Vonage VTech 8100 phone with us to Serbia. At the beginning, everything worked great; however, we started having problems after a few months. Sometimes we would get real bad breakups, at other times, people would only hear clicks and pops, and at other times, they would hear simply dead air.
Well, we traced some of the problems to our internet connection; however, that left quite a few unexplained problems (dead air, clicks, etc….). We ended up and ordered a new battery from Amazon . We received it the other day, put it in the phone, charged it, and waited. Since then, we have made a few calls and haven’t had any problems. It looks like the battery was the cause of more problems than was obvious.
By the way, I still think what I think about Vonage and wish I had made a different choice in coming overseas. Although, I wouldn’t do it without having a voip phone…the convience is too nice.

New Virus…Are You Protected?
Just in case you hadn’t heard, there is a new virus in the wild spreading like wildfire. As always, this wouldn’t be an issue if peple kept their machines up-to-date with patches.
Are you protected?
I haven’t seen any ideas about cleaning the virus. Anyone have any ideas on things to look for? Ho do you remove it out of the services.exe executable?
