State of the Blog: Another Aborted Twitter Adventure

@RodneysSaga – active briefly, inactive once again. @RodneySagaBlog – active, for now. Post alerts, except for weekends [Weekends Off]. Aside from a set of horse show tweets [Nationals], I had not Twittered since January of 2016. Then came Rolex 2017. I followed anyone who was posting on websites, Facebook, or Instagram. I even resurrected myContinue reading “State of the Blog: Another Aborted Twitter Adventure”

Foto Friday: Finding Fotos

No photos, more photo discussion [last week, Distance Problems]. A while back [Self-Improvement], I resolved to have more visuals. What should I do if I didn’t take a photo at the time? For example, yesterday’s post could’ve used a picture of Mr. Whizbang [Driving]. Reenaact If it’s at home, I can recreate the event [Bratitude].Continue reading “Foto Friday: Finding Fotos”

I walk for exercise and for sanity [Field Walks]. I usually take a dog or a horse with me [By George]. While IContinue reading “Proper Walk Protocol”

By George, I Think He’s Got It

Since our riding supervisor has been occupied keeping the ship afloat, Rodney and I have been going on handwalks most of last week & weekend. This simple exercise has been the scene of some of his worst come-aparts [Explosion]. When I say simple, I mean s-i-m-p-l-e. I am asking him to stroll once or twiceContinue reading “By George, I Think He’s Got It”

Letter Art, AlphaBooks: J is for Journal

The Brayer Journal of the American Donkey and Mule Society Vol. 33 No. 6 Nov/Dec 2000 Found at Process note: I admit, this one’s a stretch. It’s a last-minute replacement when I decided not to read what I had scheduled for J. Still need help with U, X, & Z. ~~~ This Year [IContinue reading “Letter Art, AlphaBooks: J is for Journal”
