 |   A terminal for all blogs coming in or going out. A view into my life. |
Started July 1st 2019 for contests, etc. as other blogs are filling up and have other purposes.  I'm starting a new blog because
I'll be linking to
I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.
I needed to start a folder for contests as there are so many deadlines and details to remember.

One of many places I 'come from'. July 26: Moment (restaurant) in Taichung was one of the most interesting places I've visited. July 27: I'm pulling my weight with commenting. Not as good as two weeks ago though. I try. July 28: I wrote a perfectly rational blog after ranting earlier ... it felt good. July 29: I'm not really into robots. I use technology but I don't want to be used by it. July 30: I really need to get a grip on myself. Just keep plugging away. July 31: Wanting to be normal, or perceived as such in order to be accepted, creates problems.  WEATHER July 25: 18° going up to 29; 21° in Mariannelund, Sweden, going down to 11.

Pine shade, breeze. July 26: Crush of cosmos, waxing crescent moon, quiet except for traffic, peanut butter. July 27: Orange jello with peaches, peach crisp. July 28: Orange jello with peaches (finished!). Empty table-top (been months). Stayed in. July 29: Dark glowering skies with huge thunderheads and 0% chance of rain? Puh-leeze. July 30: A yearling in the middle of 4th Street. Love orange cloud sunset. July 31: Sparse shade under the aging trees. Pulled pork. Cherries.
