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'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.

Ah... to be orange amidst the blue,
in search of moisture, a sip of salt,
a spot of warmth among the dark;
light upon the fluttering breeze, a
mote to please the wandering eye
that alights on me settled here, or
as I float against the celestial sky.
Ah, to be orange and not ignored.

I sat with Bill, Phil and Nancy (who I don't know). Didn't eat there but a bologna sandwich and cottage cheese with pear sufficed later. My feet swelled yesterday so I'm going to have to consider salt as a culprit. I seldom add salt but it's in most everything.

I'm a bit dissapointed with activity here on WDC so, once again, I need to reassess my reasons for being active here and how much effort is too much or too little.





I have made 13 trinkets. An assessment:

1. Easily collected. A total of 644.

120 Lanterns (Taiwan)
118 Monkees (Taiwan)
124 Umbrellas (Japan)
124 Man at Work (Slovkia)
158 Moon (Hungary)

2. Attached to a blog. A total of 174.

63 Porto (Portugal)
20 Out of the book (Sweden)
17 Blue butterfly and me (Costa Rica)
16 Bees on a rose (Norway)
17 Volcano (Costa Rica)
17 Boat houses on the fjord (Norway)
24 Cat (Taiwan)

3. To be given out.

42 Vultures clean up messes (Costa Rica)

A grand total of 860. Folks want trinkets but don't want to go looking. I've put group 1 on the Newsfeed. Group 2 is mostly hidden but available on my blogs. 3? I give out vultures when I review (very seldom).

I should make trinkets for every country I've visited. Perhaps someday.

Copied from my friend Azir on fb: "Honorable Sultan! When confusion and corruption spreads in the country, when everyone who sees and hears this cruelty and corruption says: "What do I need" focusing on their own troubles, when the shepherds tear the nest and those who see this silence, when you rise up in the sky scream, the complaint and weeping of the poor and the needy whom no one hears except the stone trees, then the state is at the edge of the pile. In such cases, the state treasures are emptied, the people lose faith and respect for the state and the sense of obedience to the state authority is minimized. In this case, collapse and destruction is the only option for such a state."

Well Georgia wins 38-18 over Alabama and now has bragging rights.

If only they would stand on the side of universal enfranchisement of voting rights.

President Biden will speak in Georgia today.

An interesting juxtaposition of sports and politics. MLK Day is the 17th... and that too makes it significant.

Regardless of what Pres. Biden says about voting rights it will be attacked for going too far or not far enough. The US populace is so divided on simple human rights issues.
