This location on the Tandy Hills, with a fork in the trail, forcing a choice to be made as to which direction to go, was a perfect metaphor, today, for how I'm feeling.
As I get evermore elderly I find I don't like change. I also don't like to learn new things. I used to like change and learning new things.
Just a little thing changing can vex me these days. For instance Google has been "updating" what Google calls their products.
For a couple months now Google has been trying to get its AdSense users to switch to the new interface, telling users the new interface will be activated in mid-November. And so it was. On November 15. I don't like it. I was used to the old interface. I liked the old interface. The new interface faces you with way too much information.
Google is also updating the Google product I am using right now, the one Google calls Blogger. Right now I am looking at a message at the top of the screen that says, "Try the updated Blogger interface."
I tried the updated Blogger interface. It looks way different than the old Blogger interface. Eventually I was able to figure out the new Blogger interface, but I'm continuing to use the old Blogger interface til Google doesn't let me.
Changing the subject to my favorite one, the temperature.
I did not go swimming this morning. It is only 54 degrees, currently, at my location.
Changing the subject from the not hot temperature to Elsie Hotpepper, who has been being cryptic lately. For instance, minutes ago I got an email from Elsie Hotpeppr that said "I do not understand Lucy." Who is Lucy and why can't Elsie understand her, I sat here and wondered.
And then there is Beale who is unhappy with me because I said I thought his French girl friend was awful. In my defense I did not realize this was Beale's new girl friend when I said I thought she was awful. I feel darn bad about this.
I have not heard from Betty Jo Bouvier at all this week. The last I heard from Betty Jo she told me she was heading to Seattle on, I think, Saturday. I do not know if Betty Jo made it back to the Skagit Valley from Seattle.
And then there is Carlotta Camano who has also gone missing. Usually Carlotta checks in with me regarding the Reality TV Shows we both watch. This week's Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was particularly comment worthy, as was Top Chef, with no commentary from Carlotta Camano.
I wish I was constitutionally able to take a nap and momentarily not think about anything vexing me. Sleep really is the only peace I get. And I get very little of it.

Google's Blogger Has Had A Major Meltdown But Is Now Back Working
On the left is the message being seen all over the world ever since yesterday. Google's Blogger program suffered a major meltdown.
Apparently the problem arose during some routine maintenance. Others are saying the problem occurred during the rollout of an upgrade to Blogger.
To fix the problem Google removed all posts and comments made from some point in time on Wednesday. The status message from Google has been saying those posts and comments are being restored.
I have a big blog backlog
If you are reading this it means Blogger is back is blog mode. I won't know til I hit the publish button. I'm going to do that and then go on a walk.
And take care of my big blog backlog later.

Today's Hot, Sweaty, Smoggy Tandy Hills View Of Downtown Fort Worth

Orange, Red. Or Purple.
But, I do know I don't recollect seeing it this smoggy before, or looking at the stunning skyline of beautiful downtown Fort Worth through such a thick dirty filter, as what I was looking through today.
I was feeling the best, this morning, when I got up, that I've felt in well over a week. The miracle of a really good night's sleep. And a clear conscience, strong body, good heart and kind nature.
I stayed in the pool a very long time this morning, just enjoying feeling so good. And enjoying how good the place was smelling due to all the blooming Magnolia blossoms.
I knew well before I hit the pool that Google was having a serious problem with its Blogger system. I figured it would be quickly fixed. At that point in time I did not know the problem had already been going on for over 7 hours. Or realize that the problem would continue for another 7 or more hours.
With no Blogger to blog on I had to find other things to do that needed doing. So, I updated several of my Eyes on Texas webpages. This turned out to be a good thing. I did not realize I was a bit out of date on some stuff. Like who is going to be at the WinStar Resort Casino in Oklahoma. Or at Billy Bob's Texas in the Fort Worth Stockyards.
I went over to Miss Puerto Rico's to take a picture of the smoggy view of her place, thinking I would blog it, forgetting I could not blog due to the Blogger malfunction. It's moments like these that give me pause to wonder and worry about the quality of my cerebral blood flow.
Around noon I got out of here, got gas, called my mom, like I always do when I get gas, but my phone was acting screwy, so I didn't get to tell my mom I got gas.
It was not all that HOT when I got to the Tandy Hills, high 80s, maybe. But very very humid. I do not recollect ever getting so drenched on the Tandy Hills, not even when it's 110. When it is 110, it usually is not very humid. But, today it was like a big, hot, wet cotton, smoggy blanket out there.
When I was done, with my steam bath, I decided, though I'd not previously planned to, to go to Town Talk, just to spend some quality time in their very refreshing walk in cooler. I spent my time in the cooler and then left Town Talk, without buying anything, and headed to Super Wal-Mart where I needed to get milk.
And then back here for lunch, after which, the Blogger thing was back working.
For now.
