Ha ha, I make too much of it.  &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;By the way, in case you haven&#39;t heard the expression, the hamster spinning on his wheel implies my brain running fast.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A great blog name popped into my head and so I checked to see if it was taken and voila!&lt;br /&gt;I need to put this blog name to good purpose, so I plan to use it as a platform to post photography.  I have always loved photography and now I have a dedicated website to a wee little hobby.  Got myself our first digital camera last year, day after Thanksgiving, so here we go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);&quot;&gt;For my first pic on this blog, I chose this sunrise picture of &#39;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);&quot; class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_0&quot;&gt;Foxxy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);&quot;&gt;&#39; our Arabian-Paint mare.

Nice inexpensive handy little digital cam.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK, just in case you are wondering why beauty of blog popped into my noggin, my daughter was hovering over me while I was preparing for an entirely different post on my &lt;a href=&quot;http://falconsays.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;Falcon Says blog&lt;/a&gt; and she said, &quot;huh?  Why are you looking up that?&quot;  I let her know, it was something I saw on &#39;Intervention&#39; last night on t.v. and I wanted to blog about it.  I added, &quot;That&#39;s the beauty of blogging.  You write about whatever you want.&quot;  aha!  Beauty of blogging was/is available too, but I am a stickler for less is more.  My way just sounds better, ha ha.</description><link>http://beautyofblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/and-again.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Karen Falcon)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinUp5vDv5jK3CjXyvINeDWBhef2npLwsKeIVoGKxd8dMmAbA1NnttXkZQC1vuv3gRt4z3UnO81QtcYJmflK3ACI2ZD_S0TBHrrzb1yhaPNqQxr6DFgK4egxdQo62okjGfqODpNJ40aGmc/s72-c/foxxy.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
