An amazing convergence of education, coffee and omelette

Joy of joys! Regular readers know how I delight in taking photographs of chance encounters with schoolbuses and how I like to have my breakfast at Abby's Home Cooking. So you can imagine how thrilled I was just now to turn into the parking lot of Abby's and see this schoolbus right out front, just leaving. I barely had time to get a shot off.

Note: 9:46 AM: "Just now" was actually over one hour ago. Due to unrelenting technical glitches and bugs in the Squarespace app I use to make these Instagram posts, I was unable to post this image from my iPhone. The text posted, but not the image. After many, many, tries I gave up and emailed the picture to myself. Now that I am back home in my office, I downloaded the picture and posted it the old-fashioned way. This has been a problem with this app from the beginning, but usually after two to four tries, it would finally post the image. No more. It has just gotten worse and worse and worse. Ten tries, 20 tries, 40... sometimes it will ultimately post the image and sometimes I just have to give up. I am certain some readers will want to suggest things like deleting the app, then downloading it anew.

Trust me, I have done all these things and over the past three days or so have spent literally hours communicating with Squarespace support and finally they concluded they have a major problem in their system. They have promised me they will fix it and let me know. Squarespace has made similar promises to me about other, less critical, issues, without ever following through. Hopefully, this one is serious enough that they soon will.

Until they do, I am going to have suspend this method of blogging. It had appeared to be the dream to simplify everything and save me time but has evolved into a time-devouring nightmare that I can no longer tolerate. I will make one more post later in the day to better explain. I will also see if I can come up with an alternate plan of action by then.
