Mauna Loa Mashup

Mauna Loa

Mauna Loa on the Big Island is erupting in a small way. Nothing at all like Mount St. Helens. Too bad. A lot of riff-raff could have been incinerated. Baha! Ha! Ha! Haaa!

Well, anyway, a big-ass can of Corona® cerveza was procured at the overpriced ABC Store in celebration of the volcanic festivities. So far, there have been no effects felt on O’ahu, not even any vog.

There were incidents of blocked access to the Blogger and Google consolidated account yesterday. Even attempts using ProtonVPN failed initially. Finally, though, access was achieved using the VPN. Being a “tech savvy” old codger does pay off.

Effort is still being made to find another on-line venue similar to Blogger. So far, nada. Other options such as Instagram or something similar is being considered, too. The reason being that the extended commentaries in Notes  are tedious and not conducive to a fragile mental state.

The situation on Planet Earth has changed drastically for the worse, thanks to the Fascists. For senior citizens, this bullshit is not exactly desirable prior to making the “big exit.” However, discussing the cesspool is neither therapeutic or constructive. Heck, even the opposition is in a state of chaos.

Well, that’s neither here or there. The point is simple … move on to a more idyllic setting. The iPhone 14 Pro (after removal of questionable “apps”) has a great camera system. Perhaps the saga in Notes, the exodus as it were, can be expressed in photographs with very limited commentary. Well, that’s the plan for now.

Addendum: After an exhaustive search for an alternative to Blogger, nothing adequate was found. There are no easily accessible venues (i.e., not requiring membership for viewing).

Miscellany: Once those troubling system “apps” are “deleted,” the iPhone is a pretty good device.
