No, not christmas, though I am<\/em> looking forward to that, because we have this tradition of reenacting giving birth in a rickety food trough full of hay while curious sheep keep nosing around, and it’s hilarious<\/em> – it takes talent to adequately produce Joseph’s expression of being cuckolded by a deity. No, not winter season, because fuck that. No, not even the eventual effective rebuilding of the Walkabout Studios computer suite – well, no, yes, I really am looking forward to that, if only for the cessation of time-consuming, headache-inducing actions (you<\/em> try formatting drives and copying 800+Gb of information, repeatedly because there’s an intentional amount of redundancy among drives, only to find that something isn’t working again. Repeatedly.)<\/p>\n

Instead, I’m referring to the next post, and let me tell you about that. Whatever follows will tie me for the record number of posts that I’ve made in a year, and the next photo<\/em> you see here will be the 1,000th photo for the year (blowing the previous record so far out of the water it enters orbit.)<\/p>\n

Now, this amazing coincidence could only take place if, uh, this interim post existed, which only demonstrates extremely bad planning on my part;<\/strong> next year I will endeavor to know exactly what will post and when, the photos I will obtain throughout the year and the topics that will present themselves. According to all scientific principles, there is nothing truly random so this is<\/em> possible if I try hard enough. For instance, this year I was remiss in not investigating how many new parking lots were being produced across the country, so I wasn’t up-to-date on the air-mass heating this would produce and thus the affect on the rain storms and subsequent affect on the development of the autumn color change. Slack, I know.<\/p>\n

This lack of foresight extends to not even knowing what that photo will be, though I have several candidates, but this means I can’t even drop hints if I wanted to. Will it be old? Will it be brand new? Will it even be mine? I can’t say! Isn’t it delicious?<\/p>\n

And of course, I milked a post out of an upcoming post, which demonstrates my amateur status as a blogger, but so does my not getting a goddamn cent for any of this, so…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
