Small Town America: Minnesota

Small Town America: Minnesota

http://smalltownamericaminnesota.blogspot.com…

From the heart of darkest Minnesota: my view of small town America.
And, the first view-on-the-street webcam in Sauk Centre, Minnesota.
Now displaying two new pictures a second during the day.
At the corner of Ash and South 9th in Sauk Centre, sometimes this webcam catches more than two cars at a time!

  • Halloween, and Another Glitch

    Posted on Saturday October 31st, 2009 at 19:54 in technical issues

    Another day, another glitch. Shortly after sunset this webcam went offline. I think it was a simple matter of a loose connection - which has been fixed.It's a good thing I'm not superstitious....

  • Webcam\'s Back! - After an Overnight Delay

    Posted on Friday October 30th, 2009 at 11:54 in weather, technical issues

    Sorry about that! The last reliable log data I've got for this webcam is from about 13 hours ago. (About 10:30 last night, Central time.) Somewhere along the line, the software I use to keep the video going became unstable - in the 'opinion' of the o...

  • Webcam's Back! - After a Really Long Delay

    Posted on Monday October 12th, 2009 at 22:01 in technical issues

    As nearly as I can tell, about 11:45 Friday morning, October 9, 2009, this webcam went offline. It wasn't my idea: I'm still trying to figure out what knocked it off the Web - most likely my browser asking for help, and not getting any response from ...

  • A Slight Adjustment, and the New Feeder's Ready to Go

    Posted on Tuesday September 22nd, 2009 at 17:26 in feeders, technical issues

    I noticed that the new feeder's chain is a bit too long - or the webcam's pointed a bit to high - and I wasn't going to change the webcam's angle. Most of the time, the view of south Ash Street is the main attraction here. So, a few minutes ago, I we...

  • New Season, New Feeding Gadget

    Posted on Tuesday September 22nd, 2009 at 14:39 in winter, birds, Autumn, feeders, seasons

    Or, winterizing the bird feeder.Since there's been no activity at the feeder since I last filled it - apart from a few insects and a curious chickadee - I'm assuming that the last of the hummingbirds have headed south. They'll be welcome back, in May...

  • Whaddaya Mean, 'It's Unplugged?!'

    Posted on Monday September 21st, 2009 at 18:40 in webcam, technical issues

    Last night, around 10:00, I discovered that my computer couldn't find my webcam - which meant that I couldn't 'broadcast' anything on Ustream. Quite a long time time, and several reboots, later I discovered that the webcam's power source had gotten u...

I love driving down to small towns whenever I can find the time. It helps me to leave the hectic and meaningless rush out of my life even if only for a brief time. I enjoy the view from your webcam. It gives me small doses of calmness every time I look at the idyllic scene.
