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.

... you can depend on it.

But I will.

No more keeping track of blogs I visited and commented on!

I'm free of the angst of being ignored.

This month I'll have other goals.

What did I accomplish in May?

Not much at home. I did get out more.
I wrote pieces for 11 contests.
I wrote a bunch of other poems, mostly serenades.
I visited and commented on 261 blog entries.
I received 6 in return on this blog... from the same person. One on "L'aura del Campo", my plog. Two on "Hoarfosts..." None on the others. A grand total of 9 comments by 3 people.
As of May 31st I had 4450 views on my main blog. On May 1st it was 4343. That's 107 views in 30 days.
In other words... I've been ignored.

It hurts.

Some folks did send e-mails instead of leaving comments. What's up with that? And mostly in response to comments I made to them, but still... visit me? *crickets*

60 warm degrees at midnight.

68 warmer degrees at 11:16. It's gonna be a very warm day.

75 warm degrees at 1:22.

Eating a taco Laxmi gave me. She's vegan so I end up with the meat. Saw Willie. Her mother Maxine is 93 today. Also Dalton, Bill, Phil and Don. Don is the oldest at 80.

If I'm smart I'll eat now and not later. I'm eating too heavy too late and paying the price overnight.

Now finishing avocado on a toasted english muffin.
