Thought I Was Done With Blogger

How long until I come back to Here?



 There is a reason I made this pic small and placed it left.
It has a lot to do with how Google coders dedicated their
time to Smart Phone formatting and didn't consider the long time
bloggers that were using Blogger before there were smart
phones.
















There. That should do it. From this point, I should be able to post full sized images
without worrying about the information on the right becoming mixed into the post.



Okay, it took a few extra clicks and wiggles to get the text back over to where it belongs, but now it seems to be okay. We shall see when I publish this.


Now I am stuck with text centering its self. Whoopee.

My purpose in adding this post, is to see if, and what Google has done with this venerable blogging arena. It may be consigned to the dustbin so the phone app, (which no longer exists), is forgotten completely.

Much has happened since I last posted.
Nearly all the government agencies have been gutted and there are no more employees answering phones or showing up for jobs that no longer exist.

Steve Bannon and Robert Mercer have used their usual misinformation tactics to get Boris Johnson elected to the position of; "Donald Trump of the U.K." 

Hey, it worked to make Brexit an actual thing before they used Facebook in the U.S. to get a narcissist serial liar squeezed into the White House.

I read an article today that blamed our problems on the Citizen United supreme court decision to let the rich manage our elections. They, as well as most of America, didn't realize that Citizens United is a Robert Mercer corporation that was founded during the Clinton administration to smear Hillary Clinton in the media.

We all know how that worked out after 2 generations of Hillary smearing and right wing extreme media, (like Fox news and Talk radio), turned members of your own families into spittle spewing, hate hollering, raging racists. "Joy", vanished from our world and we are left with the cold comfort of hope that what is left of our democracy will prevail after the next election.


This was the moon tonight as seen from the top of my Echo, once I parked in front of my Treehouse Apartment. The Winter Festivities have begun and I am almost ready to print my Christmas cards. Tomorrow morning might be clear, in which case I will take some pics of Mount Shasta, Lassen Park and the Sacramento river for those cards I forgot after printing the first batch.

Here is a video that may, or may not apply to today's post.


In 1967, I used to play in a bar located under the KFWB studios. They would call to complain that the bass was bouncing the needle on their turntables. It's a small world after all.

Merry Holidays
