House Keeping

I took a little time (hours!) to go through the blog roll of the blogs I follow on here.  I was up to almost 650 blogs!  A good majority of them have not posted in years, but I am keeping them on as they have some good reference things and information on them.  I deleted over 200!  Many of them were either deleted from Blogger themselves by the creator or had been hacked by foreign bullshit sites.  What task that was!!!  I did keep some that were "empty" for now, in hopes that the bloggers will return.  Though I might revisit the list in a few months and see what else to clean up.

I'm a little sad to see that Google+ is going away.  Like others have said, if you commented via that you might want to repost a comment.  When G+ goes, so do the comments.  I've used it myself as an archive of sorts for websites/blogs that I wanted to keep revisiting or had an interesting post so I could easily find it again.  I had to go through that too and save/bookmark any sites I didn't want to lose. 

Times are changing I suppose.  Not always for the better.  I look at the world around us, the news, and some days I just can't believe the times we are living in.  I often wonder if my grandma would think it's a repeat of things she witnessed only with a modern day twist.  I can only hope things will get better before shit gets crazy.  But it seems more likely things will get worse before anything else.  Hopefully one day sanity and reason will return to this country of ours.

Speaking of housekeeping, I guess I should get back to the dishes before the water gets cold.
