Reading about my options
I've been reading lately about all the potential changes Yahoo 360 might go through,
and like many, I'm looking around,
trying to find a comfortable place to land just in case I have to move.
I do think I am liking this blogging format though...
I am not particularly fond of HTML with my intimate thoughts.

Art Sunday, Jeepneys
The Photo is from Godofredo Stuart's Photo/Essay on the Philippine Jeepney,
a recent "Yahoo Pick."
I of course, now I have some diabolical plans
for sprucing up my old Cherokee Sport.
From Wikipedia...
"The word jeepney is usually believed to come from the words "jeep" and "knee" because of the crowded seating, passengers must sit knee to knee.
"When American troops began to leave the Philippines at the end of World War II, hundreds of surplus jeeps were sold or given to local Filipinos. Locals stripped down the jeeps to accommodate several passengers, added metal roofs for shade, and decorated the vehicles with vibrant colors and bright chrome hood ornaments.
"Although the original jeepneys were simply refurbished military jeeps (Willys), modern jeepneys are now produced by independently owned workshops and factories within the Philippines. In the central Philippine island of Cebu, the bulk of jeepneys are built from second-hand Japanese trucks, originally intended for hauling cargo rather than passengers. These are euphemistically known as "surplus" trucks."
I'll just say that I consider them rolling canvases,
and a fine example of folk art.

I do want 360 to stay...so I left the following comment on this page...

I'm also a 360 user, my homepage is Yahoo's home page,
my default search engine is Yahoo, I use the Yahoo tool bar,
I'm in over 20 groups on Yahoo Groops, and I use the "My Web" feature daily.
I'm 50, I'm one of the babies in the Baby Boomer Generation.
There are many of us out here, and I'd hope your "senior" leaders will keep us in mind
. When it comes to the 360 sites, many of us are there for the content,
and not the toys. Mash seems to be a lot about toys and gimmicks,
and not about substance.
Please keep us in mind when you go through your changes, and we go through ours.
We are more settled about who we are, and what we are comfortable doing.
I think that's an asset. Work with us, answer our questions, fix the problems with 360,
and don't roll your eyes when we want to stay with something
that's working perfectly well for those of us who know
what we need and why we need it.

Tarot reading
From Astrology.com
Today, it felt like it was right on the money.The Temperance card suggests that my alter ego today is the Mediator, whose superpower for negotiation lies in my innate ability to create the right chemistry within a particular situation. I am a continual work in progress. I strive for equality, balance and compatibility -- driven by my innate sense of fairness. This provides a certain degree of predictability in my actions, and is my recipe for success. As in all things truly worthwhile in life, love is an art, sketched and painted atop a canvas of mutual respect. Such a foundation allows only for the occasional brush stroke to cover a mixed message or misunderstanding, and avoid use of the paint roller. Take it one day at a time, valuing all things with such an openness as to provide not only the proper balance, but to allow for proper action when needed.
