Hey,,for those who have been stopping in and not finding anything new,,I apologize.
I know that there have been 2512 look ats across this site,,62 yesterday,,so I know someone is at least a little dissapointed.Maybe.
I have to say I haven't been goofing off. I have been working on stuff and things for those other sites,,in part.And there is a whole off line world that keeps right on rolling along that can't be ignored or put off.
I've been playing with the templates,,making graphics to fit into them,,adjusting text,,and the hardest part..plotting,planning and producing pages and their content.
And somedays,,I just don't seem to have it in me to do much at all.(lingering effects from mold *see 'FIFOII' )
Those bees are being cool,,no problems at all with them.I am still waiting to find out if I can borrow a beesuit and move them myself.Allthough,,the more I think about it,,the more I think I could make one myself.
If I do,,I will make sure I get a pic or two with my web cam to post here.I haven't finished that disposables roll yet so I don't have the shots of the bees or the ones of the eclipse available.
And NO,,I haven't wrote any more of Wee!Gee! but I am just as soon as I get done posting this.
As regards the ATT/BS problems.I can't find our mailboxes.But the service is up and humming,,the phones fine and all the names are correct.
I don't really use the 'mail service' they provide much anyway so,,right now,,I ain't poking nothing.
Here's an aside,,did you know about the swapping of analogue television signals to digital transmissions is set to go into effect in 2 years?
For the massive majority of folks that doesn't mean anything at all.I may as well have said,,'womp-wompwa-wah-wawah'.
It means,,for those without cable or satellite television signal services that their tv's won't pick up local broadcast signals with out a converter box.
A boatload of old tv's will be deemed obsolete.
But there is supposed to be a converter box available for those unable to or undesirous of going to cable or satellite.
Now,,since there is as yet NO one announcing plans for making and selling the needed converter apparatus I am curious as to what happens to our Civil Alert System.
Not to mention,,,I am a life long advocate of broadcast tv and prefer it to the other services available.
Why?
Well,,for one,,it's local.Two,,it's free after the cost of the set and aerial.No recurring bill after purchase.
Three,,even if the signal isn't clear,,you still get signal.
I ain't super picky regarding tv quality when it's balanced by superior cost benefits.
I don't mind some snow,,or a little fade out here and there.And finding the signal can be fun,,or rather funnily frustrating occasionally.
If it's digital it operates on a 'threshold' concept which means that if there is a certain amount of signal degradation the screen 'blanks out'.
Sometimes,,I watch when all I can do is hear.And that is no different than if I am sitting here lookaing at the pc screen while 'listening' to the tube,,which is on right now.
I know,,I know,,that ain't good enough for most other folks,,but it's no cost and keeps me in touch to local events,news and businesses as well as those Citizen Alert aspects.
And I see this change as something that could be a set up for potentially devasting,,or at least depressing occurances of 'lack of communication' contributing to lost lives.
I could have talked about politics as an aside,,but everybody seems to do that these days.
And does it ever really change?
The only thing that really concerns me is the idea that America seems to be under a multilevel set of attacks against the core set of basic values and concepts that made it great.
Or at least any part that has any thing to do with the tradional cultural elements generally regarded as those relating to conservative mores,religious parity,and individual self determination.
Maybe I should say it like this,,the attacks,,from many different elements,,not all or even many acting in true concert or collusion with any others,,seem directed at the historical culture concept of the American white christians,,with an emphasis against males,,straight ones at that.
All under the 'umbrella' of that group having been responsible for all the other groups ills,woes and trobles.All down through the entire history of the planet.
Look around,,if ya can't see it,,,then later,,after I get them laid out built and decorated,,I'll make it so you can walk down some logic trails and take a look for yourself.
That's what those two sites are going to be for.
And,,btw,,if anyone has anything they may wish to contribute,,and yes,,I decide if it's worthwhile for inclusion,,concerning the history of the dutch,english,native american or german peoples,,particularily during the formation of or after coming to America please feel free to submit it for consideration.Previous periods are fine too.
It could be for,against,personal or institutional oriented.As long as it's clean,,fairly reasonably thought out and does not require editing for spleen ventiong vitriol or obscene vendectives,,I will be glad and pleased to include it.
You can either use your real name or a chosen 'nom de plume' or I wil make one up for you,,but I do need your real name for my own use as regards 'publishing/posting rights'.
I assure you of your anonymity from the web surfing public.
And no,,I won't send you spam or sell your addy.
So,,now I'm gonna go write some more of 'Wee!Gee!',,I even want to get past the 'back story' and back to the house and see what happens next.(And I heard from my wife that a little Kane might get raised if I don't write more soon.~smirk~wink~)
But,,what's up with the 'crude' board that came from a 'witch doctor'?
And how can it be pertinent or relevant years later?
Ummm,,let's see,,,,,,,,,
(wow!I just seen that I need to add links to the parts after part 7,,I am sorry guys.It will get fixed first)
Ya'll come back now,y'hear?!
