They’ve broken it. This happens from time to time; this time, I think I will clone my other blog here.

Yeah, robot crotch.  What?

That About Sums It Up

(Of course, with B1ogger all semi-crashy, I can’t.  Is it time to just drop it and start over, way smaller?)

>No more commenting for awhile. Spot of bother. Hope to have it cleared up before you can say “Heath Robinson.”

>Mom X

>I had not mentioned that my Mom had scheduled some heart surgery. It was going to be tomorrow; she slipped and fell today, scary but producing only minor injuries, and now the docs haven’t decided if they’ll proceed or wait.

We’ll find out in the morning.

>I slept in. Need to get the latest on family. (Thinking about making an omlette if all is well. Bacon-Swiss, maybe? Or I’ve got bangers and tatties for mash. Or my fave, hash & eggs….but that gets old for anyone except me.)

Update I: Mom okay, wants to put off thinking too much about matters medical until after the three-day weekend and has been, so far, successful.

Update II: a 5-egg omlette containing bacon, Swiss cheese and a slice of Lebanon bologna; the eggs seasoned with a little bit of paprika, cumin and dill. And a dash of Cholula on it. Yum! And yes, I can fold a five-egg omlette. There isn’t even a trick to it. (Firefox thinks it should be “omelet.” Best two outta three?)

>…Is undergoing heart catheteization this morning. She had some blood pressure problems overnight. She would appreciate your good wishes and prayers — and so would I.

>Googling Google

11 Aug

>Holy cow, there’s an old data mine in the middle of the Google complex! Old, rusty trucks, bare, chewed-up dirt an’ all.

I was looking for this,* but it’s not on the Google Maps photo, or not very full of camera cars if it is. Old picture, just as they do down Oak Ridge way? Maybe.

(PS: Sure is California!)

Okay, Here’s The Plan

8 Jun

I am keeping this as a backup site.  May/may not do some mirroring.

Moving, Possibly

7 Jun

It looks like the other place has died the death of a zillion tweaks.  Oh, it’s preserved like a fly in amber, or at least the top page is.  I can read it and so can you.  I just can’t add to it or change it.

I may import to here.

I may not.  I mean, who knows what they may’ve left under the carpet?

So, this is for now.  I’m home sick today, having come down with the all-over dizzy/fatigued/achey annoyance.

>High blood pressure — way high, 180 — and hyperthyroid. The vet’s got our local compounding pharmacy working on the meds and it’ll be ready tomorrow. He starts with the thyroid stuff first and his BP med a few days later.

The patient himself bore up well under his trip for super-accurate BP check today. He’s been eating and is getting around fairly well. Still has unsteady moments but I think he’s better.

Thank you for all your good wishes!

>Merry Christmas!

>Nothing much to report this morning, just sending whatever holiday wishes may suit, to you and yours!
