Did any of you ever read the old Mother Earth News in the way back times? Well, I did, faithfully. It was full of useful information and a lot of left wing agricultural attitude.
But, on about the last page they ran a purportedly old timey humor story each month.
Here I include a sample for you.
It has occurred to me that this sort of thing could be considered a type of proto-blogging. Mebbe. The urge to post up with a bunch of like-minded citizens and spin some yarn, is there, even though that was just a simulacrum of such.
On the subject of proto-blogging, yes I am guilty. I guess the urge to connect must come packaged with some types. I managed to get some of my poems published in magazines. That doesn't happen every day. There were other attempts to communicate in a general way with the world.
The internet, access to the world, if you can pull it off, appealed greatly to a fool such as I. I say fool because it's mostly an illusion, but it sure can be fun!
None of you would be reading this if you didn't share some of that impulse! I mean, here you are! Communicating electronically! Neat trick!
