I do have some topics stored up

infrastructural welfare-buying cows not milk.

The bike pipe.

Tracking the elevator to space.

vertucal gardening revisited.

etc.

but today I want to talk about just nothing.

I mean that is a thing I've got from the blogs I've been following.
Sometimes all there is is a mood or a line of text.
A textural photograph, some wind sounds...

I have to go for that today. The zen blog.

One of the first things I have to prove to myself is that it doesn't have to be earth changing. A day's
journal entry can be a walk to the river and back with the dog. There can be a special light, or wind, that
you may remark on.  

A song, a photo, it all gets checked into the archives...

blogs are deeply impersonal in that you are talking to a machine, but deeply human in that you get a reaction,
an impression in numbers...where people read, what paths they follow.

The sentence I am typing is the sentence you are reading, and that transmission might have taken hours or days or weeks or (decades or centuries?) go out for a long pass I'll throw it.

blog on.
