This blog is powered by the Typo blogging software written using Ruby on Rails. It is hosted by the fine folks at Dash Systems. They take pretty darn good care of me there!

The look and feel is a slightly modified version of the Qwerty theme for Typo, written by Greg Pierce.

I added the photograph, 40th Street Shop: 1942, by Frank Delano, from the wonderful classic photo blog, Shorpy. My understanding is that all Shorpy photographs are in the public domain so I may freely use one here. If I am mistaken, however, I hope someone will let me know (info@hickorywind.org), and I’ll take it down.
