I had posted enough pictures for one day and wasn't going to post anymore…

Oh, hell! I am a man of little willpower. I have posted enough photos for one day. Yet, I just peeked in at Lynxton before I soon go to bed myself. I guess I will post one more. Well, his mom, who is in Kodiak, will appreciate it.

No! You can't go!

I am trying to take advantage of the Alaska Airlines Permanent Fund Dividend Sale and book Margie and me tickets to Arizona, so we can return to White Mountain Apache country and visit family."No! Dammit!" Jim snarls. "No! You're not going to go off and leave me here alone again!" And there I thought he just wanted to help me book my tickets!

Update, 1053 PM: The email workaround with picture-only worked this time. Then I added the text in my computer.

Jobe is wide-awake now, full of energy, going strong - bedtime.

Update, 9:42 PM: Well, every time I think some sort of solution, however imperfect, to this Squarespace nightmare has arisen, solution fades into illusion. As earlier described, I did use the email workaround method to post this image, without text, from my iPhone. It had worked the previous six times, including the accidents, tests and real posts, but it failed this time. The only thing it posted was the title. So I had to email the picture from my iPhone to my computer, upload the picture in the old, tedious manner AND add this text. Still, I will try this method again tomorrow and see what happens.

Jobe's still happy, though. He is having fun. "Look at this, Grampa!" he shouts. "Did you see that, grampa?"

Jobe slept on the drive out

Sent from my iPhone

Update, 8:38 PM: Jobe just arrived from Anchorage with his dad. He slept in the car coming out. He is walking around the house, but he hasn't woken up yet.

The Daily School Bus: one passed by The Metro Cafe

Sent from my iPhone

Update, 4:49 PM: Exactly one hour has passed since I posted this with no text using the email workaround method Squarespace provided me due to the collapse of their once functionable iPhone app. Including accidents and tests, the workaround method has now successfully posted a picture when entered without text five times in a row. I am cautiously beginning to believe that this just how it works. For some reason, the workaround method cannot reliably post text and image together. When they are posted together, Squarespace favors the text and so most often strips out the picture. At least, this is how it appears.

I think I am going to try a new method of blogging. Most days, I will post maybe five pictures, sometimes fewer, occasionally more, without text throughout the day. Then at the end of the day, I will come back and fill in the text. I will continue this until Squarespace fixes their app or until I give up on them entirely - which I should have done years ago. It would have been easier on me before I had built so much content into their troublesome framework.
