Something about the feeling of chalk dust on my hands, settling into the creases and the pores, just never felt right. <br /><br />But that's a minor difference in opinion. This is lovely, and so true, and I was very relieved that the boots (and the feet in them, and your hands,and your brain) got to make their way out to the garden Contingent Cassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08161652083031423415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883226237165701608.post-24492907453965884982016-09-18T10:32:11.986-04:002016-09-18T10:32:11.986-04:00I was wondering where my avatar was as well, but I...I was wondering where my avatar was as well, but I'm not one to grouse about it. Here it is for you, Froderick. *smooch*<br /><br />And I find it interesting that studies are coming out to support exactly what you said here about technologies, Froderick. At LD3C, technology is king.

Have you noticed that a symptom of faster technologies is that they make their users ignorant and stupid? They promise to be learning tools, but they go too fast for use by humans.Froderick Frankenstien from Fresnohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11653942918068535424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883226237165701608.post-35923983911533834182016-09-18T00:18:41.960-04:002016-09-18T00:18:41.960-04:00Where's the picture of the woman Greta used to...Where's the picture of the woman Greta used to use as an avatar?

What beauty. <br /><br />We've been blessed with people like Greta and Yaro, and there are dozens more who mean as much to others.<br /><br />It all means something.
