For those who have read the blog from the start and remember what I said about possibly going back in time to 2020 at some point, this entry addresses a flaw I have discovered about the way Blogger shows the posts. Or should I say I didn't know enough about how Blogger worked when I started to start in the right spot.
As I publish an entry the date and time are attached automatically. This post is being written and published on December 28 so that is where it will show in the list. That works great for regular posts about things that are happening in the moment. I do have an option to change the date and time of a post when I publish it, but if I use a date prior to when I started the blog back in November there is no effective way for me to notify readers the post exists.
Readers could scroll down on the right hand side and see there is a new entry, but I don’t think that is reasonable. As I understand, those readers who have elected to follow the blog will be notified whenever I publish something, but for the majority of casual readers, there is no easy answer.
So, I will continue publishing in real time so posts will show in the order they are published. On the bright side, for those readers who like a good book or movie written with flashbacks, like Titanic, my posts will hopefully end up telling the same story in the end.
I personally hate books or movies with flashbacks so I understand if this causes confusion, but once I have caught up to where this started in November, things should be good. Thanks to my brother Stuart for giving me the title recommendation, and thanks for reading.

Blogger does not work very well for comments, so if you make a comment I may not see it for some time, if at all. It doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate your taking the time to read and comment on these posts. Thank you.
