Perhaps you can post on a new book you're reading, a new hobby you're taking up or about random finds as you finally get around to cleaning out the..., or your most recent adventure?

Anything to keep your windmill alive.

Please keep comments polite.

This week we're recognizing archae86.

Archae86 regularly shares clear and thoughtful posts in the discussion forums, sometimes including a story from his firsthand experience to help illuminate a topic. For example, I really enjoyed his story of having phone calls back in the 1980s that bounced through two satellites to make the trip between California and Israel.

Thanks for sharing!
