Lance Mindheim website down?

[faraway]

I have two of his sites in my bookmarks and both are working fine (OSX Safari browser) but somewhat slow. Both sides start with a large black area that loads with a large photo after about 15 - 30 seconds.

I noticed he offers a 2016 wall calendar with photos of his Florida layout..... I could not resist :o
