I love the sound of my voice, so...
It only took about eight hours to re-post a picture of my fine self. I have wasted an entire Sunday afternoon, and worked my blood pressure dangerously towards stroke level. I don't believe what I'm going through trying to re-estabish United Possums...and I keep flashing back to Robert Duval at the end of the shoot-out in "Free Range"..."and for what...more cows?"
A constant reader who holds her silence reminded me today that I started this as a fun enterprise. Having done the journalism thing, I have not been unaware of the power of the written word. As The Grateful Dead say, it's been a long, strange road. Gerry Garcia is dead, and I don't feel too good.
This was fun when it first started. I thought I was leaving an online lgacy for my daughters, so they might understand me better. I have tried to leave footprints in the past, but the impermancy of computers defeats this at every turn. A commercial enity named Google™ has destroyed the last of my efforts. Unless I find a new, painless web host, I won't be back online.
Thank you, Google™. I am a capitalist, but you have killed me. Free speech subordinates to whatever you charge by the click. My website is dead. It was fun while it lasted.

Maybe we should see about that "beta" version...
A quick search (doesn't have to be Google...) will unearth a ton of free blog hosting platforms. If Blogger has disappointed you, start a new page at another blog site and post away! Many of them will capture your archived Blogger posts and insert them into your new blog, as well. It could be as if this never happened (except for the new website/address).
Take heart, my friend. All is not lost. Your voice MUST be heard!
