Housekeeping

 

After a review of some earlier work, I've set out to do some editing.
Both in the text and layout of certain posts, some of it just awful, including the addition of some new labels. You may notice them beneath some of the prose, set as indicators of topic as well as access to similar postings.

Most consisted of seasonal markers, amidst the newer, haphazard rantings and mad verse that sprang up on this site in the wake of our ever more haphazard, and dare I say questionable, existence.

Before I came to some of the more lugubrious postings, however, circa early 2020, my efforts failed to induce a response. A quick check of the network connection found nothing amiss. Could it be the JavaScript? Facebook is notorious for its piece meal patchwork of coding (never mind those awkward pop-up notices of "glitches" that occur when one posts something too sensitive). I'm not sure. After all, Meta has a business to run, as well as user numbers to puff up for latent advertisers.

Then, of course, there's the EU, with its hodgepodge of blatant laws restricting certain speech, especially that critical of policy. I can't say. I do know, with a 20th century eye sharpened in passage to a new millennia, there are no coincidences. Perhaps I should include censorship as one of the new labels I'm suggesting.

It's not important, really. At least, until one decides it is. That's a personal choice. In the meantime, I humbly ask your patience with this mad poet's vision. Your comments are always welcome.

It sure is good to hear from you, John!
I'm a little slow on the uptake at the moment, using a borrowed laptop that discourages editing, or even staying logged on. I'm still using Windows 7, despite their return to "updating", which is code for scanning all one's browsing habits. I had to remove the ability deep in the core ...

I've been adding to the reading links, filling out some haiku sites but mostly financial and
"alternative" format that describe some real states of political affairs. Haven't watched TV (but for movies) in over a decade, lol!

Just about to add another - NukeMap - where you can dial in any location to see the effects of a nuclear explosion. Sounds like a fun time! Tahoe isn't on a list of potential strikes, however.
I live downwind of those. I'm not going anywhere though. I got two beautiful grand daughter's close by.

And *nobody* is gonna mess with them.

Cheers, mate!
