I was telling my boss (you'll read MUCH about him and he's one of my followers) yesterday that I feel blogging is for people who love to write. None of our young techie staffers does it. They're neither readers nor writers. I agree with you about those other forums, and I think younger people who have grown up surrounded by all the technology don't know how to do a lot of things, like getting to know someone more deeply than 140 characters allows. Oh, and I secretly detest "LOL". Can't stand it. If you laugh at me that way, I'd rather not get the laugh. I'll try to get a laugh some other time rather than get the LOL.Leslie Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15702472429383639709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195616894993495285.post-62427114170115764902009-05-30T09:42:45.483-07:002009-05-30T09:42:45.483-07:00Wheel, welcome to the bus.

His blog is about his cycling passion, but the Badger is remarkable with a camera, too. He's been kind enough to let me use some of his shots.Leslie Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15702472429383639709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195616894993495285.post-34348438424915556572009-05-30T09:05:27.301-07:002009-05-30T09:05:27.301-07:00Hey LimesNow, a wonderful first post!
Likewise, ...Hey LimesNow, a wonderful first post! <br /><br />Likewise, I've read articles about the social "issues" within our computerized world (especially when it comes to kids and technology, which may be a separate issue) ...to me, blogging and the like are similar to milling around at a party. We access snips of each others' lives, and know enough about one another to be able to spend some time conversing. I'm always amazed when I meet a blogger in the flesh...there's enough background to have some meaningful conversation. And isn't that where it all begins?<br /><br />On the other hand, I started blogging because I hadn't done any writing since college and this is a fun avenue. The social aspect has been a nice aside.<br /><br />For me, the jury is still out on Twitter and FB. I've reconnected with old classmates via FB, but the snips seem short and frenetic, almost. But I do get a kick out of some of it. Maybe the challenge from a writer's perspective is to learn how to concentrate a meaningful message into clips and bites. <br /><br />We've had a dry spring as well...my grass out front is already brown. One day, I hope to have it landscaped away with some native prairie plants!The Old Baghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08102309231670261719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195616894993495285.post-53163717595682406492009-05-30T08:27:06.022-07:002009-05-30T08:27:06.022-07:00Sweet, welcome to the blogosphere!

I took some great cactus flower pics on my last trip to Phoenix and there really is something cool about such beauty standing out in a harsh environment.WheelDancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15219805760534549996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195616894993495285.post-632546744810920972009-05-29T14:49:10.342-07:002009-05-29T14:49:10.342-07:00Almost as good as seeing the real thing!

A great camera and a skilled photographer are beautiful things to have along in the desert, right next to backpack, hiking boots and sunscreen.Leslie Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15702472429383639709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195616894993495285.post-38973231093725647512009-05-29T14:01:19.428-07:002009-05-29T14:01:19.428-07:00A great start!

On a side note, even though the photo has reduced size and resolution from the original, it's remarkable how much detail there is in that photo, it just pops out!Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11938379025774754317noreply@blogger.com
