Outside trucks inside trucks and one hand not quite on the wheel (Update, 11:39 AM: single picture post altered to become "Three Studies of Kalib at Abby's")

Kalib and I are at Abby's. Yes there have been trains rolling about the house since he arrived, but here are at Abby's there are trucks. Inside trucks outside trucks.

Perhaps it is a foolish quest, I am going to try to post this from here. Well, the text will post. Will have to see about the picture. There will be a school bus later today.*

*Yes, Squarespace did strip the picture and I am only now - two hours later - finally able to add it back in. In the meantime, this sat here as a picture less post. An interesting thing did happen, though. I expain below, under what will now be the third picture in this post.

Well, all those Mormon church leaders who raised me and my extended family members who remain faithful would or will be horrified to see this. "What kind of example are you setting for your young grandson?!" I can hear them exclaim.

I am content with it The coffee is good. My day begins better because of it.

Ok. This is what happened. I took this last two pictures after I had attempted to post the first picture remotely from Abby's but failed after the Squarespace app stripped it out of the picture. I then decided not to bother trying to post these last two from Abby's but just to email them to myself and combine them with the first in one post which would then become "Three Studies of Kalib at Abby's."

When I post remotely, I cannot post more than one picture at a time, whether I use the app or the mail workaround, but of course when I sit down at my computer I can put as many pictures in a post as I desire.

Interestingly, when I first tried to email this bottom picture to myself, I somehow inadvertantly used the address Squarespace gave me to do the email workaround. I did not realize I had done this. All I knew was the picture I had emailed to myself was not showing up. So I tried again. Again, it did not show up.

Then, when I got to this computer and opened up Logbook I was surprised to see two posts I had not intended to put. Both were of this picture standing completely alone. No text. Not a single word.

This causes me to wonder if maybe the Squarespace failing is that, most often, is less that it strips the picture out, but that it cannot properly handle both picture and text together, but handle either one alone. So, as a test, I will post my Daily School Bus this afternoon from Metro Cafe. It will be a wordless post. Picture only, but I will try a headline.

Then I will see if it successfully posts the picture, and add words in later.
