Deja blog

Six years and eighteen days ago I began on Blogging Network, nee Blogit, as a guest in a mobile home approximately eighty feet from where I sit now, using a WEB-TV console, with a blog called "Uncle Chromedome's Emporium", with the misguided concept of running it like a magazine.

To apologize for not replying to blogs etc.

Sometimes one has to sort of quarantine oneself for a bit until there's something worthwhile to say. Reminds me of when I WAS in quarantine. I forgot! Wow... At any rate, thanks for dropping by, but the Maje isn't up for it right now. Sign in to see full entry.

I remember the birdfeeder one night...

We had received four inches of fresh snow the previous evening while I was on duty, and when I came home around midnight I saw in the headlights that our distant impromptu bird feeder, a pie tin nailed to a fencepost bordering on a wooded and wild ravine,looked as though it held meringue.
