A milestone of sorts...

Welcome to my 201st blog entry. That's right! If you had a cake and lit a candle for every one of them the cake would be inedibly covered with wax by the time you lit the last one.

So with this, I thought I might answer a few questions posed over the course of the two hundred posts, submitted by readers like you (or by me pretending to be you):

Farmer Ted - Where did you get the name "Farmer Ted" and why did you choose it? - Curious in Catalina
Dear Catty, Farmer Ted was the character played by Anthony Michael Hall in that coming-of-age classic "Sixteen Candles". As I liked the way he grew up and got a bit wiser over the course of the film, I thought the same might happen for me writing this blog. Rather, I've just grown older and a bit more sharp tongued. Luckily, I still have a crush on Molly Ringwald.

Farmer Ted - What is that view from your front porch, anyway? - (no name)
Dear Lazy Signer, this is a view from the porch at Paxton Winery in McLaren Vale, South Australia. While it may look quite bucolic, it is hella hot and dry for most of the year. I took the picture in the "About me.." during the summer, meaning the view from the porch is really through the window near the porch while I stand in the air conditioning inside. So sue me.

Guess that's it for now. Keep reading and thanks for the encouragement!

- Farmer Ted
