(0856) Morning all on this stormless, snowless day. (0930)

 

Housekeeping and op ed of sorts

It’s about time, as there’ve been some things happening:

a. This Storm Garotti thingy

There’s seriously nowt here, nor in part of North Yorks, as Isilme wrote … we both want the snow to play in. Obviously not in Bama.

b. So pleased our boys respond to Toods and also Isilme.

I explained to Toods that British men of our curmudgeonly kind are not effusive, it’s like getting blood from a stone at times … yet I’m sure we appreciate the chatty tavern when it surfaces.

c. The 1st, 6th and 11th post items of the day

These are the logical ones to run as standalones, should there be more substantial content now and then. Also, I like to run 10 and 19 as Moosh corners. As for Steve’s late afternoon posts … it depends.

The most difficult for me are X urls, usually three or four of them … the worst time to process them is late afternoon because my mental capacity drops right off by then. Can’t do all the reading late afternoon/evening … next morning is fine. Steve posting then is fine, they stay there overnight for those on X … it’s just that my reading/processing is better and more on the ball next morning.

Which means it’s time to say how much I appreciate the amount coming through, with Andy, Dearieme, Microdave input too … it gives the UHC complex its rude health.

d. Now down to business … X and Blgr

Some toerag reading Orphans has done it again … another post removed. Julia’s aware, we have another Orphans site ready to roll if necessary … I need to tell her that another post of mine was deleted just now by the Wokerati techies. Par for the course.

So Orphans is one thing. Now to another:

All right … we need to adjust to this possibility. Readers know I heavily rely on X, esp. for sshots. Should that be closed down, as Gab was and they’re trying to do it with the rum platform too, hence my cautiousness … it would throw a spanner in the works but there are “workarounds”.

We’ll meet that one as and when it hits us.

e. And please keep praying for Iran’s ordinary people, ditto Venezuela etc. And obviously ours.
