WordPress Blogging Public Service Announcement:

Anthony3 Comments

For the list 4 days now, I have had, sporadic at best, ability to “like” other blogs and posts. Please know, every day I try hard (to “like”) as many posts as I can. 

I am not ignoring your work or wanting your numbers to be any lower. I hope that they (WordPress) get their act together and correct whatever issues they are having as I’m positive I’m not alone in these issues. 

Please return to your regular scheduled program… 😜

What alternative career paths have you considered or are interested in?

I feel this question is redundant as it has been asked in many other forms and most of my readers know I’d be a writer/musician, which to a degree I already am.

Hopefully we’ll have a better Daily Question, tomorrow.

As always thank you for reading… 😊

What food would you say is your specialty?

I have a few cooking specialties, I think. I am half Italian and remember a lot of my Nana’s recipes from watching her cook so I make a lot of different pasta sauces from scratch.

I’m also pretty adept at making marinades and grilling meats on the barbecue.

I’m also not too shabby at making quesadillas, especially when I have a quesadilla maker to cook them on.

As always, thank you for reading…

Can Anybody “Like” Blogs in WordPress?

Anthony58 Comments

WordPress is broken

It’s not letting us “like”

Hurting our numbers.

–

Please, fix this

Our blogs are our life

This is unacceptable.

–

I have “liked”

The same posts, five times

They’re not showing.

–

What’s going on

I wish that I knew

It’s very frustrating.

–

I have cleared

All my web browsing cache

But nothing changed.

–

I have tried

On my iPhone and laptop

Still no dice.

–

Are we all 

having these same issues, or

am I alone???

What major historical events do you remember?

There’s so many, and they really are not good, unfortunately.

As far as health or terrorist related disasters:

Persian Gulf War 1991

Persian Gulf War 2001

The COVID 19 Pandemic.

The January 6th, 2021 Attacks on the US Capital.

The September 11th Terrorist Attacks.

Also living in Southern California, I’ve been through several significant earthquakes:

1987 Whittier Earthquake (5.9)

1992 Landers Earthquake (7.3)

1992 Big Bear Earthquake (same day) (6.5)

1994 Northridge Earthquake (6.7)

1999 Hector Mine Earthquake (7.1).

We also had some very significant flooding and very heavy rains and other inclement weather during significant El Niños that I also experienced here in Southern California, California.

1982 El Niño event (previous all-time record for most rain in and southern and northern California going as far back as were kept.)

1993 El Niño event

1997 El Niño event (all-time most rain in most of California going as far back as records were kept).

I also happen to be living in Texas (Irving) in 2015 for what was at the time, the wettest rain season in the history of the state. I recall getting flash flood warnings on my phone for six months straight because the Trinity River was way over its banks.



As always, thank you for reading…

The Clash Police and Thieves

Anthony3 Comments

I have come to appreciate many forms and off-shoots of Punk Rock. Protopunk, bands like the Flaming Groovies, Television, The Who, and Velvet Underground. Pioneer Punk bands like: The New York Dolls, The Stooges, The Ramones, and many others. These led to a movement in the late 1970s in England to bands like the Sex Pistols, The Damned, and The Clash. Will save hard-core punk bands from the early 80s for another discussion, but I love them too, as well as the modern Punk Rock bands of the 90s and beyond.

A truly remarkable cover of the Junior Murvin reggae classic.  This is my favorite song by The Clash and it’s off of their self titled debut album.

Released in 1977, I love how this song starts, I love the beat, and I love the bass line on the bottom.  The guitar riffs on 2s and 4s with syncopated drums. Something very different and interesting. Joe Strummer with his cool vocals that would become the standard for many of their albums to come. 

Great political lyrics just like many clash songs have.

Very unique and different and I think you’ll get a kick out of this cover like I do. Be sure to play it loud and put on some headphones for this bad boy!! 

And as always, thank you for reading and listening…
