it's a convoluted mess
It’s August. July is the worst and it’s finally over, but then there’s still August and that’s just pouring isopropyl in an open wound. Anyway. I have written a lot of expletive-laden tirades about technology and software and I had another rant started and then I had EVEN MORE website problems and the draft got deleted, and I’m not rewriting that so, you’re welcome. Can I write this post, save it, and publish it? Or… Keep reading…Blacking out again…

When the door opened, she straightened up, darted away from the tree, looked around in a panic, and started booking it across the street. From there she flew up onto the eve over the garage of one of the houses and ran across, flying up to the roof… Keep reading…Higher now…
I started writing a different post and it quickly devolved into an extensive tirade about software and while extensive tirades are kind of the norm around here, I was annoying even myself, so…delete. In short: I Do. Not. Like. Windows 11 and I Really. Do. Not. Like. how every MF software is moving to the subscription-based model. Just let me buy a program once so I can run it into the ground until I am… Keep reading…Keep it undercover…
