But that is pretty cool! if that in length thing applies here up North today, i can use it today.

I have many single digit posts (mostly about coffee roasting). I write for myself and when I'm in the mood. A lot of young people barely read anything longer than a paragraph for pleasure. The world is going to hell, and get off of my lawn. :-)Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05423298540561933647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1719803707314253077.post-90662864956589225572022-12-21T14:32:04.901-06:002022-12-21T14:32:04.901-06:00That's what I tell myself as well. It's a ...That's what I tell myself as well. It's a memory bank for the future me. But when I'm being darkly realistic, you know, at 2 - 3 in the morning while waiting - forever - for sunrise, I realize that if I forgot to that extent I'm not likely to enjoy being reminded just how far gone my memory really is.<br /><br />So sometimes, in those dark moments - and I'm writing this on the longest day of the year (because of the earth's elliptical orbit, in terms of solar days, today is a full minute longer than June 21 will be) with the least amount of daylight of the year, which seems kinda appropriate - I think that writing this blog is just another form of raging at the ravages of time. And really, I don't have time to rage. I'm too busy making the most out of the ride.greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15960238893013776630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1719803707314253077.post-66482753828672741862022-12-21T14:19:32.342-06:002022-12-21T14:19:32.342-06:00Well, I know that if I'm reading a post that g...Well, I know that if I'm reading a post that goes on and on about a mildly interesting subject I tend to start speed-reading (Remember Evelyn Wood speed reading course? Yep, took that when I was in Junior High) rather than enjoying and I don't want my posts to be responsible for speeding!<br /><br />The printers, general store, and doctor's office were pretty generic and generated limited interest so they as well as the agriculture area didn't make the cut. But you didn't miss anything. No real surprises in the doctor's office that could have lead to enhanced experiences.greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15960238893013776630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1719803707314253077.post-65617016467142950762022-12-21T10:04:44.942-06:002022-12-21T10:04:44.942-06:00Indeed, i too not so interested in this.

Those people need to stay with FB. Expletive!<br /><br />I wanna see the other buildings and stuff. Those early doctors' offices harbor all kinds of interesting "pervertibles" (a jargon term in the BDSM Community for everyday items that can be repurposed).MFHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14495926455768090923noreply@blogger.com
