If you uses this tsingtao-nights.blogspot.com address make the switch to www.tsingtao-nights.com. It's the new and improved Tsingtao Nights. With the new sites I have more leeway in creating pages, changing the look-and-feel of the site, among other things. So check it out. The USS Alaska Project is back with force. Tsingtao-Nights.com
SECOND UPDATE: The process of moving a domain from one server to the next is apparently a slow one. The transfer should be complete any day now. Then: a new feel, a new look, a new Tsingtao Nights. Keep checking back.
UPDATE: Hit a snag, so by "this weekend" read "next weekend." All the best, --Mike

Big changes are coming to Tsingtao Nights over the next month. And keep your eyes on another exciting venture:
