Blogsam and Jetsam

Flotsam is the part of the wreckage of a ship or its cargo found floating on the water. Jetsam is cargo or parts of a ship that are deliberately thrown overboard, as to lighten the ship in an emergency, and that subsequently either sinks or is washed ashore. This is my personal blog version of the above. Loot freely.

I'm annoyed that the world is going crazier faster than it used to be. But it's interesting to watch.

The Knitting Meme

Every damned time I swear I'm NEVER doing another meme something compelling comes along. Since this blog enterprise started life as a(nother) knitting blog I figured I might as well play along....
