So, I'm a brand new blogger. Whoo hoo. Except my blog is blocked. Because it could be spam. Only it isn't. There's some algorithm for determining what is and isn't the s- word. (I figure repeating a word is one of the ways the bots decide what's a real post and what's (you-know-what). So, I did something the bot-thingys did not like that triggered an alert.
So much of life is clutter these days that even the useful - or potentially useful - stuff is now being screened out.
At one point in life I gave up on network television shows because of the volume of the commercials that run during them. I get sucked in now and then when someone else is watching one - read my lovely wife.
Although I sometimes DVR a show and feel good about fast forwarding through the commercials, I'm just consuming them at a quicker pace without the sound.
I hate billboards that detract from a lovely drive in the country. The worst are billboards that advertise the use of billboards to advertise products. Whenever I read a billboard touting the great benefits of using billboards to get the word out, I want to puke. How do I get those two seconds I just lost back.
On the other hand, when I play the ABC driving game with my son and we're trying to take letters from billboards to get from A to Z I suddenly realize the problem with billboards isn't that there's too many of them.
There's simply not enough with qs and zs.
