Ten years ago I was writing several blogs on various subjects - F1 motor racing, Music, Classic Cars, Great Romances and, most crushingly, a personal journal that included my thoughts on America, memories of England and Africa, opinion, humour, writing and anything else that occurred. It all became too much (I was attempting to update the journal every day) and I collapsed, exhausted and thoroughly disillusioned in the end.
So this blog is indeed a Toe in the Water, a place to document my thoughts in and on WdC but with a determination not to get sucked into the blog whirlpool ever again. Here's hoping.
The XX beer? I hate seeing those trucks driving by because the double X's is supposed to be the Straight Edge symbol. It's like a subversion. And alcohol is the last thing one should consume when one is "thirsty." Don't let Robert Waltz hear me
In the USA political scene there is a tendency to focus on what doesn't matter. I really don't care about hair-don'ts and what a family member three times removed did or didn't do in 1992.
Same as pop music, sirā¦ usually written in the first person to an imaginary āyouā¦ā in my childhood and my early years of learning to appreciate music, I applied all the āyousā to myself
My father, a history professor used to say a board of regents could spend $10 million on a building in a matter of minutes with no real discussion. If you wanted to tie them up all day just ask if they wanted bar or liquid soap in the bathrooms. So yes, I think you may be on to something!
I thought for a while that I was beginning to understand the strange logic of the stats. Having been through a period of record-breaking numbers, I narrowed the cause down to a poem I had written entitled Jordan Peterson. It must be the use of a currently important name, I thought. All the bots see it and bring in the searches on the name. Which seemed a reasonable explanation for a while.
Then the stats began to wither away and I figured that the unintended trick had played itself out. So I tried an experiment to test the theory. I wrote something including the word ātrumpā as a verb.
Nothing happened.
So, either I should have capitalised the word to mislead, or itās not the cause of the wild fluctuations of the stats at all. And, of the two possibilities, Iām inclined to believe the second. It just seems to me to be more natural that stats should be inexplicable and disobedient to all logic.
Which is not to say that I will give up trying to understand them.
