The End?

It's pretty obvious that I'm not blogging here. I don't plan on doing much more than posting pictures here for a while (at some point). I will, however, continue to twitter, and linkblog.

I have delisted this page from search engines, but it's still open for all to read.

Can anyone tell me what this antenna thing on my townhouse is? I don't know who put it up there.
