Walking The Plank.......

Yes, I am aware what I am inviting for furthur by posting the last blog here as well, but this is my first priority as a place to write and share. I suppose I will find out where I stand over there, huh? I always enjoyed posting and commenting over there, but it was allowed to devolve into a hatefest/dorkfest, and I railed against that and it cost me. I still disapprove of the direction the Advocate has gone, and I would like to see some changes in both the print an online versions, but I think my days of engaging a few of the goofballs that blog and comment there, are finished. I will hope for some changes, and lobby for them when I have an audience, but my days of head butting with them are over. Nothing to be gained from that, but incurring more petty and aggravating management censorship, which is counter-productive. If they ban "further", I will just assume that to be the result of a personal grudge and a death sentence on their part, and let it go. If not, I'll dabble on the hometown site from time to time, and try to bite my tongue when the urge to throw spears tugs at me. Besides, I always have this site to organize protests, rant, and piss and moan, free of meddling moderation, should I be so inclined.

I think you were doing fine until coolgranny semi-outted you!

Well, you'll find out if they are reading your blog over here...

By the way, I love the avatar on the Advocate. Reminds me of the time my older sister and her friend painted the friend's car with psychedelic flowers. The old 50's car was yellow, as I recall, and the flowers were every color you can imagine. This must have been about 1967 or 68. Someone took a picture for the local paper, and they ended up in the yearbook.

I'll have to ring Nancy up and remind her about Gloria's car.
