It was grilling time last night.
We stopped at Safeway in Kaneohe on the way home and picked up a few things, including some chicken thighs.
They went on the grill, along with a couple of potatoes cut up into fries.
Meda served up sliced tomatoes and avocado, along with some fancy olives.
Wine served at the table. And the cat (Ms. Harry) was just an added bonus!

When grilling these goodies I always say to Mrs. Gozinya, “These are nice plump thighs…like yours.”
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten pinched, pounded and growled at but it never gets old….
Ian, if possible, please add a *like* button.
🙂
Not sure why you apparently don’t see the “Like” button and “share” options at the bottom of each post…sometimes they load a little slowly, but seem to be working.
If they really are absent, I would like to figure out what’s wrong.
No “Like” on individual comments, though. Is that possible?
The only “like” button I see is tied into Facebook. Some of us don’t like Facebook integration of so many of our online activities.
Some discussion board software, like Discus, have “like” buttons which (appear to) allow you to note your support for a comment without logging it onto some huge database attached to your unique identity.
For all the worry about Kym Pine’s internet tracking bill, the real threat is coming from “private sector” databases which not only track our online activities, but also our shopping habits via credit cards and grocery store discount cards.
The term “convergence” gained popularity as a word to describe how the functions of the telephone, mp3 players, television, computers, etc, were becoming combined in newer devices. It also applies to tracking technology. As computing power grows exponentially, more and more data will be collected, and analyzed, about each of our behaviors. Add in the GPS functions in cars and phones, the growing use of surveillance cameras, and the legal standard of “a reasonable expectation of privacy” will fade away to almost nothing.
I will digress even more to point out pseudo-Libertarians do not object when this data is gathered by “private” corporate entities for their purposes. Only when it is governmental agencies. That’s because corporate domination is actually a reflection of the “liberty” of the “individuals” who dominate the rest of us.
But, as I say, I digress.
Fair enough, but I would appreciate suggestions of privacy-sensitive comment alternatives that can be used with this WordPress platform.
I searched for WordPress plug-ins which will provide a “like” button, but was unable to find one which was not linked to some broader user-identification service.
Which is not to say such a plug-in does not exist. I did find a lot of people online expressing concerns about the lack of anonymity when using Facebook for this purpose. So clearly there is a perceived need for such a plug-in.
looks good but wasn’t it chilly last night on the deck? I closed most of our windows.
