Puzzle Description:

Of a new member to the family which is on the way. Well everyone,we ended up buying a new 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan. With a baby on the way,we now need room for 6 passengers. The one we bought is not red,but we don't have silver in webpbn,so I made a red one like on the brochure. That's one of those large wind generators at top left. We see these on the highway all the time,so I thought I would add one to the image just to make it more interesting.

Hello Aldege,
I have been having trouble loading puzzles for several days. I don't know how to figure this out, but the system seems to let me in the comment section at least. Could you or someone else advise on what may be causing this problem, please? I click to open a puzzle, then nothing - bupkus! Aack.. Thank you, -kjh

I'm having the same problem...

Grats... for the baby and the car, too!
If I see well it's a Mitsubishi VAN?

I'm happy for you Aldege

Kim & Alison: After upgrading to Internet Explorer 10 I was also having problems loading puzzles here but I tried the following and now they load fine:

1- Click the "Settings" for WebPBN (on left side of screen)
2- Open the "Options" tab at the top of the settings page
3- Scroll down to "Drawing Mode" and select "Use SVG mode"
4- Make sure to scroll to the bottom and "Save Your Changes"

I don't exactly know why this worked but it did. As a matter of fact, I can now go back to HTML mode and puzzles load and solve without any issues. I would have tried Tom's suggestion about downloading Chrome but I have a strong aversion to anything to do with Google.

Hopefully one of these fixes will work for you and others.

AL: Really nice image - I want one now! (Dodge should pay you and Jan for advertising for them)
In Kansas, we see those windmill blades all the time - not just on wind farms scattered about but being transported on our highways. The big blades are each 102 feet long and require specialized towing rigs, escorts, and specific routes of travel - they take up a lot of real estate when they go down the road.

Thx Thomas,I'm happy to see there are no hard feelings between us and I want to apologize to you for my comments that I made to you on your puzzle. It was not good behavior on my part and I am sorry. Actually it is suppose to be a Dodge van,but it was hard to make accurately.:)
#7: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on May 4, 2013 [SPOILER]
Thx Dave. It sure is a lot roomier than our old Caliber was,lol. Those windmills are awful big and a little freaky looking when you drive by them at close range.:)

Dave: it worked...I asked back in January for advice and was told only about Chrome. thank you, I have issues with google also :)

Wonderful puzzle and wonderful solve, Aldege.
#10: Claudia (clau_bolson) on May 4, 2013
Aldege, ditto #9 and congrats too.
About the browser discusion, I have issues with both Google and Microsoft. I use nothing but Firefox. It works great here.
#11: Jota (jota) on May 4, 2013
Excellent image Al! Love it!
#12: Dave Oas (khpdave) on May 4, 2013
Hey Tom, I'm glad (and a little amazed) that one of my recommendations actually worked!

Claudia, I tried Firefox several years ago and had some compatibility issues with a project I was working on but it may be time for me to retry it.
#13: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on May 4, 2013
Thx Norma,Claudia,and Jota.:)
#14: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on May 6, 2013
I downloaded Chrome, and that worked for me.

Al, you *do* know where babies come from, right? ;)
#15: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on May 6, 2013
Sort of Kristen.:)
#16: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on May 12, 2013 [SPOILER]

Thx Brian.:)

Al, I see the wind turbines all the time, also. I just wish that there were more, we could cut down on some of the emissions that the human race creates. When I was in the Mojave Desert a couple of years ago we saw hundreds of them on the mountains. There were turbines of all sizes, from 10 feet to 30 feet tall. It was great.
