I have sadly neglected the WordPress reader where I can connect with fellow bloggers. Lately I have been constantly doomscrolling on Threads and BlueSky. Those sites are proving to be a constant stream of bad news. My lack of attention here is something I do regret. Your blogs are important, and I should do better by you this wonderful community of creative authors and thinkers and contemplative writers.

Something About My Future Posts
My future posts will be respectful, but more of what’s going on in my head. Some of it will make sense, some of it won’t. Like many of you, I am trying to figure out what’s going on. Know this, my heart and head are wired differently and that’s awesome, I feel. I am not up for debating stuff, all I want to do is blow off some steam when I want to. Thanks for putting up with my rantings. There are more to come.
That’s Right, It’s Groundhog Day!
Today in Gobblers Knob of Punxsutawney, PA its resident weather prognosticator and most famous groundhog Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow and that means six more weeks of winter. Somehow that seems on brand with this year so far. So I guess we gotta keep bundled up and be ready for more cold weather ahead. Thanks a lot, Phil.
Later today, we will most certainly watch the classic movie Groundhog Day with Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell. It’s only right to do so.
It’s Finally February
Rumor has it that it’s finally February. January seemed to last entirely too long. With the USA in turmoil, with a horrible president, fires, aircraft crashes, and trade wars with Canada and Mexico, it’s going to be another long month, I fear. Let’s do the best we can, good people.
Something About Internet Opinions
Hey, guess what???? The Internet is full of opinions and commentary. Like noses, we all have opinions about one thing or another. Some opinions are informed and helpful, while others are not. I don’t believe everyone feels the same way about everything. You look at what people are saying and it comes from a place of one’s experiences and values. No matter where you go on the Interweb someone has something to say. It’s OK to have opinions, just try not to be hurtful or personal in expressing them. I am certain that whoever reads this will have some feedback for me.
Linux Mint 22.1 Upgrades Weekend
I run Linux Mint as my desktop and laptop operating system. It is free, open-source, and runs well on older hardware like mine. They released a terrific upgrade with some new and updated features so I have installed it on both of my machines and they run very well. I can do everything on Linux that I can do on Microsoft Windows without the bloat and slowdown.
Among the many things I like is when Linux Mint does an upgrade it doesn’t take forever to set up. I use Linux Mint 22.1 for web browsing, media, word processing, and playing games like Tetris and Solitaire and much more. So, It’s been fun setting things up and customizing the look on both machines.
Many machines are going to be without support from Microsoft as Windows 10 support ceases soon. I suggest Linux Mint for anyone who needs a fresh, modern operating system to keep their older machines running. There is a lot of support out there to help you get it running and use it for everyday tasks and the like.
