The War on Guns

For some damn reason, Outlook is rejecting some emails and deleting others. I’ve restored ones I need, checked the filters, and changed my passkey but still don’t know if there are problems, and if so, what’s causing them. The rejected emails aren’t even showing up in my junk file– they’re just blocked from the get-go.

For the time being, if you try to email me at [email protected] and get a rejected notice, an alternative email is [email protected]. You can also message me on X or Facebook.

And it’s not a storage issue:

At least notices I accept from MoveOn and The Washington Post are getting through, as are Junk emails…

That’s right, if you’re going to be hiking, camping, or carrying a pick-a-nick basket into Yosemite or one of the other four national parks in Cali, don’t bring bear spray with you. It’s against the law. [More]

And, naturally, Yellowstone Rules also apply to guns there.

I’m glad I didn’t have to find out in my bear encounter (that happened technically in a National Forest, but still, California). I was just happy that when I screamed in surprise it sounded more like a roar and less like a girl.

I see the site was producing “Too many requests” errors again today. As noted before, this site is not a revenue generator and unless I want to spend the money to get off the shared server that’s going to be something I have to live with — unless and until I change that, all I can suggest is to give it an hour or so and try later. Sorry.

Also, I’ve been told my Hotmail account has been rejecting some emails– and they’re not showing up in the Junk folder, so I have no idea from who and how many unless you tell me. If you can’t get through by email, leave a comment here or message me on FB or X.

Looks like I’m not gonna be a tech billionaire after all.

I see the point.

I also think it tells us much when we’re urged to be afraid to express ourselves lest it be used against us in a court of law.

My sign simply says “RUN!”
