What Will Be The Impact?

First: Is it just me? Am I the only one frustrated by Blogger seemingly day in and day out -- at least 5 times in the past two weeks? The first post I lost was monstrous in size and damned near caused me to hurl the Confuser out the second story window. Today I was ready to post at 4 AM and again lost the post. Has this occurred to anyone else? This is my third try at the same post today and . . . very frustrating!

Yesterday was the so-called "Day Without Immigrants" or, as some Mexicans are saying, the "Day Without Gringos" as documented by the AP:

Thousands of Mexicans took to the streets Monday to support migrants in the United States and celebrated what they called a "Day Without Gringos" by shunning U.S.-owned supermarkets, fast-food restaurants and American goods.

How has it impacted you? Here is how it impacted me yesterday in Sacratomato, Fornicalia:

-- I worked out early in the morning at 3:30 at a large fitness chain; the standard three Mexican males were wearing the cleaning uniforms and doing their jobs as per normal;
-- I was the recipient of a large work product shipment at 9:00 am, the load delivered by a Mexican driver handling a Freightliner. He helped me unload 4,200 pounds of product. Then he drove to San Francisco;
-- I motored along a major adjacent highway where a large housing subdivision was being built; I specifically slowed down so I could see who was working on the various sites. There were a number of clearly Mexican workers wielding various construction tools;
-- I had a hankering for a hot doggie from a major national doggie chain; I was served by a Mexican female cashier.

That's how it affected me. How did it affect you?

Post-script:

I believe I have determined that, for whatever reason, Blogger has decided that it will no longer publish from work. I customarily blog from my work computer very early in the morning and that venue seems to have been removed -- covertly by my I.T. people or by various Acts of God, I am uncertain. In any event, this is clearly going to impact how frequently I blog during the week -- combined with the inconsistent familial events I have experienced and will be experiencing in the future. I am going to try to solve this problem -- I may have to bring my own huge laptop from home and connect via dial-up modem.

Now Blogger won't let me add an image. Again I ask: am I the only one Blogger seems to despise?
