I found this on Facebook and thought it funny. I have seen videos of people experimenting with water to see if it freezes in mid-air, so this has the same feeling. It has been icy and cold where I live, but we are thawing out a little. I hope you are staying warm and comfortable wherever this post finds you.
It’s hard to believe it’s the final Friday of 2023. Time is a weird thing you know. Let’s finish the week, month and year strong, or something like that. The new year is close at hand my good people. Have a great day everyone.
I think I have been blogging consistently for 15 years or so. In that time I have never had any post get more than the number of likes I got on this post on the Threads platform which is run by the folks of Instagram/Meta. This post about celebrating Hanukkah has gotten 928 plus likes and 44 replies That is what I call a viral response.
No blog post on any of the blogging platforms I have used has even come close to that number. I even use tags on my blog posts to reach a wider audience. I am just wondering if I have become stale to my blogging audience? This is just something I am wondering about.
Right now Republicans are incompetent and incapable of leadership as long as they bow down to Donald Trump and his base. They are not serious people who want to do what is best for the country. It’s frustrating to know that they are making America a horrible place to be in.
Both Democrats and Republicans have a responsibility to do government and governing. They almost put the United States in peril because they couldn’t pass a spending bill due to infighting. Putting people before a political party is vital.
Law and order should mean something here. Accountability is something Republicans used to believe in. Honoring the military with more than just lip service is important.
I do miss the Republicans of my childhood. Where did they go? I don’t mind some fiscal conservatism as long as it’s not harmful to those on the fringes.
Once again I’m going on record as saying that I hate Donald Trump for what he has done to good people in this country.
Dr. Jill Biden the First Lady of the United States has COVID again. It seems like the “Rona” is making another appearance with some new strains of the virus. I know of others who are unfortunately getting it again or for the first time.
No one wants the pandemic thing again so taking the necessary precautions is the order of the day. Vaccine boosters and masks when needed along with proper hygiene are important. My friends stay vigilant and healthy.
I blog because it’s a fun and creative outlet for me. The cool thing about blogging is that you can make connections with people from all over the world. We get to share a little of our corner of the world and what we think about stuff. Blogs are a digital extension of our real-world lives. Every post is a snapshot to borrow a photography term of what is going on at any moment.
Those posts can be crafted into a series where you have the opportunity to share thoughts about a universe of things. I love to blog and it’s cool to know that I have a potential audience of billions of people. My official slogan is “Keep on blogging” and I say that because the community needs your voice.
