More Truck Grills

Someone agrees with me. As I said in my original article about truck grills, pickup trucks are getting way too big, especially the front ends. It’s not as if the grills need to be that big to contain what’s behind them. A lot of it is just air. They’re only that big to gratify something in the potential buyer. Some need to be sitting in a big vehicle.

The Jalopnik article focuses not on the buyer, but on the designers. It professes to be concerned for their mental health. Go and see for yourself.

Old Look for Green Comet

Posted on 2020-09-17 by arjaybe


Back to the original theme we go. I tried a new one because I was warned that the old one might not handle mobile devices as well as it should. All was fine for a while, then the new one stopped displaying the comments under the posts. It said how many were there, but it refused to show them. So we’re back on the old theme, at least for now. I wouldn’t mind using a new theme, but the process of finding one is just too onerous. It’s not easy to find a theme that will support all the features of the old one. My enthusiasm has been dulled by the failure of the last replacement, too.

I’ll keep a languid eye out for a suitable new theme, but we’re sticking with this one for now.

I’ve written the final chapter of my current novel, Sunward. Now it’s time for proofreading, first this final section, then the book as a whole. After that I’ll complete the epilogue and then head on to formatting and other presentation matters. Writing the story is only step one. Let me think. Do I remember how to get an ISBN? What about the cover image? Wish me luck.-)
