Blogging Reconsidered

Today is just one of those days. I set here looking at this blog and wonder why I still do it? I started blogging to figure out how to implement it to help a friend. This friend (and another) only kept up their blogs for a month or so. Now here I sit wondering why I am still doing this.

I have conversed with some interesting people. I few via email. There are a couple of bloggers that I think I know – cyber wise that is. Obviously, cyber friendships are not the same as in person ones. They also have some interesting twists. I mean how do you really know who the person on the other side of a keyboard is. Most of us do not use our real names for numerous reasons. Blogging should be fun in my opinion. I like playing with bits and bytes and trying to learn different things. I also like to go fishing, ride motorcycles, taking hikes with my dogs and building models.

The anonyimity of blogging has left the farm. Oh gasp! I believe some members of my family have located my blog! Major malfunction due to oversite on my part. Who wuhd  o thunk . .. So now for my own reason I am presented with new options. To change my domain name and move my stuff there, to remove all references in this blog that I do not want them to read/see, keep this domain and get another one and put the blog there, or just bite the bullet and muddle on with the consequences. Decision time.

So, to my regular readers: if this goes away I have your emails and you have mine.

A Funny Fishing with Bill Dance YouTube Video

I am not really a big user of YouTube but I do poke around on the site when I am – emmm – bored? But if you fish enough this video will remind you of something. If not – laugh anyway.

Annie Dog Ate All The Chicken

Annie is my two year old lab. Quite the character she has a garbage gut. Her moto is if it is there eat it! Leave a papertowel unattended – shredded and digested. Drop some people food – gone in seconds – gulp. The only exception as been (until now), she has never ever taken anything off the kitchen counter. I have seen with her front feet up on the counter drooling while looking at some form of food on a platter. She never took the next step – eating that food.

Last night she took the leap. While I was in the living room brushing out Catfish d dog she tasted the forbidden fruit. She ate the fried chicken. Not just one piece, not two, no! – eight pieces. Oh my! Bones and all. A dog eatin chicken bones is not a good thing. A dog the barfs when she gets too much grease that eats eight pieces of bacon grease fried chicken is really not a good thing.

There she lay stuffed to the max.

Of course, it once again is panic time. What do you watch for? Will it be a really bad thing? So, a call to the vet just to find out and hopefully gets some piece of mind. Apparently, this could be no big deal or a really big deal. We wait to see how it all comes out.
