Hello, Shaine,

Well, your big adventure is about to begin, and I mean that in a positive sense. I look forward to reading how your perspectives change as the session goes on, when your legislation advances, and when your legislation is killed. No one gets everything they want, so don't get dismayed when some measures don't get too far. You will have other victories to make up those disappointments.

Of particular interest down here, I believe, is what the Mexican American Legislative Caucus does this session. Perhaps you and Aaron can place links to their websites. Many people don't even know that such an important alliance exists.

Perhaps you can report, from your persectives, on the meetings of the MALC. No one else in the Capitol press corps seems to care at all about that organization (don't take my word, see if you can find more than a handful of news stories about them). You will do a lot of your constituents a favor by illuminating the existence of this group.

Sorry you had to rough it at an RV park, but good for you that you are about to get settled into an apartment. Remember my advice: Whenever constituents come to visit you in Austin, take all of them to the swanky receptions that will fill the Capitol calendars for the first 90 days. You don't have to promise anything to the (usually rich) groups that sponsor those receptions, and your constituents will love you for a great time at no cost.

Thanks for sending me your e-mails.

Blogger blocks excessive posting

A while ago, I tried uploading a blog post via Android App. The upload kept failing. Not to be deterred, I deleted the app and reinstalled, to find no better success. I thought that perhaps I could email the post to Blogger. That did not work either. The email bounced back with the following: Technical details of permanent failure: You have exceeded the the allowable number of posts without solving a captcha. This happened because I imported quite a few blog posts from another blog I discontinued just yesterday. It has been less than 24 hours since the import. It makes sense. I'm rather certain the captcha speedbump is also why the mobile app refused to publish my posts. The problem can be circumvented if you post directly on the Blogger site and solve the captcha. This problem will likely resolve in the next few hours and all will be right with the universe once more.

Before Getting Out of the Gate

Tonight, I was working on a new blog project. Google and Blogger have been good platforms for me in the past. I was able to get the domain pointed and was working on the layout and template. Suddenly, the website was blocked. I had searched for ways to publish that were not subject to censorhsip. I wound up on the Hive blockchain. It's great for censorship resistance, but it's not without its problems. In any case, I was thinking that maybe I was being too paranoid. Now, before getting out of the gate, I have a blog censored. I'm trying to think of what I could have posted, reposted, or even been associated with that could have caused the blog to be blocked. I can't think of anything. If this doesn't pan out after review, I may need to look for an alternative hosting option. I was already looking at Publii as an option. It only requieres simple FTP updates. I prefer not to use Wordpress as experience has taught me that you an customize a theme and add plugins ...
