‘49 Was A Great Year

I am a ‘geezer who has abandoned several tumblr blogs that I have outgrown rather than changing them because each has had its place and I’m moving forward not staying in one place. I avoid posting anything that looks to me like AI. And I avoid blogs that post it. Sideblogs: http://www.tumblr.com/49er-quotes
