I suppose this will do for internet out at the coast. Had to get away from the excessive heat in the Seattle area and found a great little campground near the beach in Grayland, WA. #JHawq #UnplannedTrip

Been looking at alternatives for publishing on the web. Static sites appear to be a great way to publish. So far, Hugo, Jekyll, Eleventy, and Publii are what caught my eye. Anyone that follows using any of these? Understand that I am infra geek and not coder. Willing to learn tho

Well, finally through security in Terminal 7 at JFK and I am now going to start looking for a new airline to base my flights with. Alaska staff on ground at JFK were so slow, only one poor person working all the lines while 3 others stood around. Add that to no real TSAPre here and I am done.
Finally heading home from my time in New York with mom and my sister and her family. Got a couple of bags to take home...

One is family pictures that I am taking home to start scanning.

The trends I am seeing in regards to Threads is leading me to not even download the app and connect it to my Instagram account as you cannot get rid of your Threads account without deleting your Instagram. If someone else out there is seeing more with it from the inside, tell me I am wrong.

Been looking through the "skeets" and notice that people are not using hashtags or at least not very often. Is this now verboten?

I am absolutely reminded why I live where I live as the temps are in the mid-80's and the humidity is also there too ...
