Testicle, Testing, Juan Tooth Ray

The blogger app is still worthless. At least in all of the recent reviews that address the same problems I always had .
You would think, since this is a Google owned site and app, and I have a Google Pixel XL, this would be easy peazy.
So anyway, I tried just going directly to the site. I know, so hard, right? Actually, kinda, yeah. I took awhile going between phone version and computer version to even find the button to blog with. I found it by turning the phone sideways. (It was invisible before then.) Anyway, here I am now, and it sucks typing on my phone. It's so itsy bitsy. I've got crampers in my fingers! Let's just see if the pic will post. That's all I want this for anyway.
This pic is from a couple days ago on a typical bad hair day with the Michigan spring in the background.
And I may as well introduce Munchy to the page. Page, Munchy. Munchy, page.

Also, finding the pics was hard on my phone as I could only scroll through a couple at a time. Not very user friendly, so. This is not winning any votes from me while I still have instagram. (Also Google)

Both Sides Now

For the sake of getting this posted after the smarty pants phone app failures, I emailed the pics to myself to get them to my lap top so I could post them here from there. Take that, technology!
Without further hoodoo, this is the wall that separates my kitchen and living room.

The Wall of Hoodoo
 

Failure

I've been trying to post on blogger from my phone app but I keep getting fails. (and why are those words underlined? Another mystery,) Maybe my pics are too big. I will play with my camera settings sometime and try to resolve this problem. If you are reading this, then the app works without pics. I can't help it if I'm larger than life.
Stay tuned. Mondo Dandy Loves You!

Happy 75th Birthday Mom

I put together a CD of country songs she sang for me  back in 1985.
It was my 27th birthday and she wanted me to have a cassette of her voice.
(She also wanted to make sure I had some country music.)
I'm so glad she did.
I made this little album cover yesterday. 
I wish I would have done this years ago. A person always thinks they have plenty of time. 
She went to country music heaven January 25th 2016.

Son of the Return of The Blogger

Just a note about what I've been up to.

Not too damn much.
Well maybe I have, it's just hard too tell when everything ends up on face page to the point I want nothing on face page, but then where are the pics that were evidence that I did stuff while I was avoiding having a presence on face page. (Also, my good cameras have all been broken, so everything has been on my Android and it all just seems unimportant because no matter how convenient it is, it's still just a phone.) At least you always have it with you.

I guess the idea was that you can take your phone to a concert but they won't let you take cameras. That still baffles me but doesn't bother me. Now I can just do some hashtag searches after a concert and download everyone elses pics and videos from the shows that I attend, and they are usually better. Sometimes they are taken from behind me and I can see myself enjoying the show.

OK, I meant to keep this short but, another reason I need to get back to The Blog is that many times I think I have a great crystal clear pic and post it from my phone only to see it later on a pc and find out that it's blurry.

One last reason of not blogging was that after my beloved cat Cayo died, I had a really bad very sad year of not taking almost any pictures because nothing seemed to matter anyway. ( Except for the ones that I put on face page to fake some happiness and keep a presence on the internet.)

So...now I am back to focus on life with my new cat Yokai. She is almost a year old so there is some catching up to do. Her life so far has been regularly documented on my instagram. (A site that I do not have any problems with.) It seems more like a private art gallery with just pictures, no words. Just like I always meant for this one. Instagram is just so damn easy to use with your phone. You can do all the cool photo enhancing tricks in seconds.
I should add that link to my side bar. For now you can get there from here. INSTAGRAM LINK

Thank you. I'm Jim Dandy and I approve this Blog!
