Dead Image Links

Update (01/06/2018)

Happy 2018, one of my New Year's resolutions is to  do a better job with my blogging efforts.  This blog has been in existence for over 11 years and I'm embarrassed to say many of the original 700+ postings were missing images, had broken links and trival content. I've done some serious pruning and deleted about 300 posts with more to review.

The image management has always been a issue on the blogger platform. The images in posts aren't stored directly but are linked to another location. It the address of that location changes, the reader is presented with a exclamation graphic (seen below). The actual location of the images has been a mystery until today when I found my Photos from Blogger albums. Each blog has it's own photo album and they are out of sync the photos will not be displayed properly. It is work in progress, thanks for reading.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>> My Original Posting below<<<<<<<<<<<<<<


Good morning readers,

This blog will be 10 years old in December. Over that time I've added over 800 postings and most of those had embedded photos, at least I thought they did. Over time the underlying hosting addresses for the photos have changed and as a result it is not uncommon to find a post with an exclamation mark instead of a photo. It's embarrassing for me to know someone went to the effort to search my blog for something that interested them and instead found chaos.

As I find them, I will either fix them or delete them. Thanks for your continued readership and patronage. If you see a problem, please leave a comment and I'll do my best to correct it.

Dude, where is my Photo?

I've Moved On

  Forwarding Address I used Blogger as my first foray into the world of online writing in December 2006. Over the years I created several other blogs and a few websites. I finally settled down a bit and decided to put my energy into a self-hosted Wordpress site named My Strange Life . The Orphans What was to become of these sites after I stopped adding content? Nothing at all. Everything on the internet seems to last forever, or at least in the span of a lifetime. There are multiple orphans and WebCrawlers dutifully work their way through the internet finding links and keywords. I won't delete this blog but want want to freshen it up a bit with new information. My Strange Life Below is a RSS "ticker tape" of my latest postings on my website My Strange Life. This are recent postings.https://poltrack.net/feed

Snow Squall

  ALERT! At 3:00 PM I received a text alert on my phone about a a snow squall. I didn't pay much attention because these things are only a problem if you are on the road.  I remember a time when I was working in Acton, MA, I left work in the afternoon traveling along Route 119. The sun was out and the roads were clear. All at once the snow came. Visibility was down to nothing, the roads became slick. I creeped along following the tracks of the car in front of me. Thankfully I am now retired, so I can look out at the chaos without being part of the story. It is eerie how fast this came on, One minute the sun was out and then it was a white out. The birds didn't care, they are tough. Fifteen minutes later the sun returned. I'll be happy when Spring is here.

Caturday (Analog Edition)

Saturday is Caturday Saturday is Caturday , a time to post photos and videos of our feline companions. While reviewing some of my scanned slides and negatives I found this purr-fect collection to share. Our old friend Mojo didn't mind being dressed up. He was a gentle soul who could actually play catch with corks We had a black and white cat when we lived in an apartment in 1973. This cat was hit by a car and I now suspect he suffered from congenital sensorineural deafness which is common with blue eyed white cats. In the Navy I was stationed in California. I spotted this guy in a flower bed. In the 1960s my sister found a kitten which she called Andrew, Eventually that became Fat Andrew. Fat Andrew wasn't fat she was pregnant. Like all cats she did her best to disrupt any desktop activity I was involved with. In this photo I was working on a Linocut  for a Christmas card. My mom had a Siamese she named Abigail, a beautiful creature with deadly claws
