Hey Jer.... I logon from L.A. and had no problem browsing the PD Webring just now. By the way, I found the existing 3 sites to be as unique as their 3 site owners, and each was very interesting. Your commentary 'bout life on the ranch and why ya moved there, plus what you and your family have gained by living a more bucolic lifestyle was intensely moving to me - especially as we had 3 horses while my 2 girls were in their early teens - so I REALLY related. While our horses went in the divorce, rather than due to PD, the girls (now women of 32 and 20 AND their mom STILL miss the time spent ridin' and rakin' and just plain ol puttering around our equine threesome.

I put out a plea for folks to come by my site - and the internet crashes. The section my server is on hass been down since around 11:30am CDST. The page for the PWP WebRing is missing because I was doing an upload when it crashed. The last time this happened a construction crew in St. Louis, MO sliced through a mass of Sprint cables, which cut off the whole west coast for about three hours. My connection is routed through Boston, then to AZ. When you click on the link to my site, that's the path it takes to get back to your screen, and Boston is offline. As soon as it comes back online, I'll get the page up again. -- Jerry Finch The Official PWP Dumpster Gang Hideout http://www.newcountry.nu/pd/
