FYI

I haven't made a big deal of it publicly, but several of you are aware my sites and this blog are being manipulated in oblique manners by outside elements.

I have not been able to update my non-blog sites in several days.  

This blog has been experiencing several 'new' peculiarities since Thursday as well.  Some of you know Thursday was relevant for our local Tribe.

Just so you know.

**About the Buddy Teams poll and post**  Please keep adding to the comments on the thread, and clicking the poll if you have not already done so.  We are working on a few ideas to help facilitate those of you who are in reasonable proximity of one another to hook-up and see if growing your local capabilities is possible.  The III Society will probably be a factor, though you don't necessarily need to be a member to take advantage of whatever we come up with to help your local circumstances.  (But joining does aid us all in many ways.)
