I have been making music in a way by taking some of our CD’s and ripping them to my digital collection on my laptop. I have been using the Linux program Rhythmbox to import the music and then visually organizing the albums on Gnome Music where I will play them from.

Furthermore, I am saving them in the open source Ogg Vorbis format and tagging them so they can have the album art can be found online and embedded to each title. They won’t be going online for sharing just so that people with power will know it will be for personal use only. This is a retro way of doing things I would imagine, but it is fun.
As a reminder, I love Jesus and I cuss a little. Lately I have been cussing more because of the way things are. Righteous anger is good anger and the expression of it is important.
It’s time to “spring forward” again. That means setting your clocks ahead one hour before going to bed tonight as Daylight Savings Time begins at 2:00 AM on March 8, 2026. I hate time change like this because it messes with mood and other things. Some places have decided to no longer change time. They are smart in my book.
Once again, don’t forget to make that change tonight.
Tonight on the TV show Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage there is a storyline where Mandy says God could be a woman on air during her weather report from the towns Baptist church festival. Needless to say the reaction was very bad for Mandy. I have to say this can provide some food for thought. If we are created in God’s image both feminine and masculine traits must be considered and presented. Don’t come quoting scripture at me just use your imagination and open your mind and spirit because it can impact the way women and others are treated in the church and elsewhere.
It’s interesting to hear a K-pop song you have on a CD playing as background music in a fast food restaurant you are having lunch in. Life is fun that way.
It’s now the month of March in the year 2026. February seemed to drag on a little toward the end though. Let’s see what March orders up for us. Make it a great month or something like that. Peace and love and luck good people. Remember time does march on.
