ANY ONE ELSE?
When I adjusted my settings to accommodate friends who did not have blogs of their own and were having trouble leaving comments, I started getting the same 'anonymous' troll, sometimes with the same obviously not relevant comment as on a previous post, but I've still got 'approval first' so it's not a problem. I mark it spam but it doesn't quit. Interesting but not that interesting. Tedious is more like it, similar to robo-calls on the telephone. Previously I had a 'no approval' status and then I got hundreds of 'google' spams unrelated to whatever my post was about. Just sayin' and wondering if any of my real blog friends get similar comment anomalies? Do you ever wonder if there are real people behind the phenomenon?

Real life continues with a Sunday afternoon haircut from Marla when Helen was unavailable. She was slightly shocked when I asked for a dual selfie, but she complied and I forgot to turn the flash off.

This an extreme closeup of my hair, each strand of which is capable of providing a complete picture of my DNA, a fascinating subject:

I am a crime fiction fan with a particular interest in psychological profiles and well conceived detectives. Currently "Unforgotten" is running on Channel 13 Sunday nights at 9PM in Manhattan, wherein Nicola Walker leads the crime-fighting duo on MASTERPIECE Mystery! But the series’ complicated cold-case investigations surprise even her as they unfold week after week for a total of seven episodes. The first episode was superb. You can watch it here:

On my way home I waited to catch the sun going down behind this church on East 14th Street.

A beautiful day all together and in the evening I ran into our 'leader' on my way to the regular writing group downtown. A truly nice man and quite a wonderful writer as well. He is a volunteer and provides us with some of the best two hours of creative freedom on record.
