Joeuser was inaccesible for a few days. So, I wasn't
posting. I just realized it is back up. One bit of
advice. If anyone wants to start a serious blog, they should
either use a paid site, or use one like Blogspot. Blogspot
automaticay e-mails a copy of all of your posts back to you. That
way, if the site goes belly up, you still have a copy of all your
work. It the interim, after the Joeuser site came on line again,
and I didnt know it yet, my ranking fell from 58 to 60. Sixty out
of what I don't know. I paged through the ranking and got bored
after reaching 1,100. So it is 60 out of more than a
thousand. However, after 600 or so, they all have 15
points. That corresponds to one post and no comments.
Still, it seems strange that a blog that is only of interest to a very
small group would have such a high rankng. I think it is because
I had been posting almost every day. I suspect also that there
are many people who just flip though the pages, aimlessly. Every
time someone views one of my pages, I get a few points. Another
factor is my infamous
Monday (with
explicit pictures) post. I investigated this with the site
tools and found out that people run searches on Google and Netscape
etc., with the search phrase 'explict pictures.' My post comes
up, and people check it out. Really, folks, the title was just
for fun; I was not trying to get a higher ranking. If anyone
wants to look at anatomical diagrams of avulsion injuries, there are
better places to do it.
Yvonne and I managed to be fairly active during the snow days.
Yvonne's ribs came out of place again, so she's back to being flat on
her back. Before that happened, though, we hauled four bales of
hay, a bunch of sweet feed, and filled the water buckets. We also
swept the barn and ran a few errands. We make a good pair, since
she can't use her left leg, and I can't use my right arm.
Tuesday and Wednesday, I couldn't get to work. I had to wait
until they plowed the road in front of the driveway. The truck
was able to get out of the driveway, but there is a drop-off on the
other side of the road. Since the end of the driveway is fairly
steep, there would have been a chance that the truck would start
sliding, go right across the road, through the fence, and down into the
Jensen's llama field. Then there would be llamas
everywhere. No, not something I want to see.
Last summer, one of them did get out. Tasha went nuts and herded
it into a corner of the yard. Being a Shetland Sheepdog, it was
natural for her to do so. But I would not want to see her trying
to herd 50 llamas all at once.
