Blog housekeeping notes

If you read this blog on a desktop or a tablet, you'll notice some changes to these pages. I decided that it was time to clean things up a bit.

The photo above shows what may get lost during the upcoming campaign season: Reno, Nevada is a beautiful place, when you get away from the casinos and when the air is clean. We'll be there through mid-November, duking it out for the Dems. Campaigns coincide with fire season, so clean air is not a given. But early in the morning and at sunset, the skies and surroundings can be breathtaking. Maybe by November, I'll have photos of the same duck pond and surrounding peaks after the first snow ...

Erudite Partner and I report for campaign duty in Reno at the end of the first week of July.

In the right sidebar, I've added links to summary posts about what's at stake in the 2022 midterm elections: governors, Senators, and Secretaries of State. After all, that's what we'll be focused on.

And here's a link for anyone who might want to get paid to dip deeply into the electoral fray this fall in several locations with UniteHERE, the national hospitality workers' union.

I've shortened the blog list at the right, cutting back to odd web outposts you might not encounter -- or, some of them, even want to encounter. I like a lot of variety. Makes me think.

Will I post every day during the campaign? Maybe not. This round will be a test of my aging body and stamina. But I've posted regularly if not deeply through campaigns before, so we'll see. I post to focus my own thinking, oftentimes, as well as share with others.

This very week will be a test of how much I'm driven to post. If it seems burdensome, I won't. The Erudite Partner and I are taking three days away at a hot springs to mark some significant birthdays. "Significant birthdays" are ones divisible by five -- and these qualify. Imagine I'll put up a few things here, if only pictures of relaxation before the storm.

On into campaign season ...

Hope you have great Major Birthday(s) and I'm so happy that you're off to Reno to do the work on the ground. Love your new, cleaned-up design, and glad Civic Center made the Blogroll cut. Que te vaya bien.

Happy Bdays to the nth degree! Damm, it's a bitch to keep on cleaning up, after somebody else, for decades and decades. Hell on our knees, back and souls. But who else has the foresight and ovaries to do it?

It was so nice to see you and Rebecca from afar and sad we didn't get to say hello properly. Glad I can follow you here.

My it is fresh in here! I'm on a desktop.

My thanks to you and your partner for digging in to fight. If It's OK I'll send up a prayer for safe travels, not sure God pays attention to campaigns. :-)

Now I need to go back and finish browsing the new look.

Happy birthday to you both, and thank you for continuing the good fight in these highly discouraging times. ❤️
