I accidentally published a page and wrote the draft for another one here before I realized that I had logged into the wrong blog.

I’ve removed those pages.

For a few days, a message has been appearing on my screen telling me that I’m almost out of space for pictures on this blog.

I’ve created another WordPress blog, “thiswinteralso.”  I haven’t put anything there yet except for the title.

I’ve taken more liberties with written and spoken language everywhere that I’ve published things on the Internet than I would if I were in a situation in which formal language were always as important as what I was saying and writing or if time weren’t of the essence almost all of the time.

Having talent as a writer isn’t the same thing as having good writing skills.  I have talent for a lot of things; most people do.  My best language skills developed because my family and my teachers emphasized the importance of language.

You can be talented and, never having learned what to do with it, you can’t access that talent because you don’t have the training to do so.

People shouldn’t use my blogs as a guide for things such as grammar or spelling in place of real guides for those things.

It takes up a lot of time to do that.

Central Square is where a lot of buses stop in Cambridge.  There are also T stops there.

I didn’t take a lot of pictures on the bus.  I wasn’t sure that anyone was harassing me in person, and I didn’t watch out the windows to see if there were stalking vehicles.  There were probably fewer stalking vehicles than there usually are because of the weather.

There were stalking vehicles in Waltham this morning.  However, I didn’t take pictures of them, because it was raining out and because I didn’t have a lot of memory left on my camera.  While I was on the bus, I decided to erase pictures that I had taken from a couple of days at the beginning of my camera, so that I’d have more memory to take pictures.

Later, I did a search on the term “rapists killers child molesters” several times, until a message appeared on my phone that there wasn’t enough memory to do the search again.

I don’t want to encourage hackers to take searches that I do from my phone personally most of the time; I have systems for doing Internet searches that I’ve written about.

Sometimes, the merciless, gloating evil of the conglomerate gets to me and I’ll do something like those searches.

Not that it mattered to whoever found out or heard that I’d done them; it didn’t seem to, not at all.

I took out a laptop computer at the Watertown Public Library for a while, hoping that I’d be able to get more done if I could work by myself for a while.

I couldn’t get it to upload anything.  I probably lost half an hour that way.

That’s what happens when you are broke and dependent on free equipment.

All of the computers here still have the “VLC Media Player” Caution cone on icon on the screen, there have been a few people who have coughed at me here, one woman in particular being very horrible about it, and I don’t seem to be able to walk into this library without the janitor walking by me with a mop bucket.
