Cat on Flood Day.

We have a strange cat. She walked into the irrigation flood waters when she had a completely dry path she could have taken instead.

Changes.

Everything I use lately (facebook, livejournal, photobucket) is trying to implement changes. New and improved versions of themselves (read the italics for sarcasm). I've been able to, so far, turn back the clock with livejournal, but today photobucket threatened me with a date when they will move and everyone must change to the new format (or so I assumed). I took the bait (the promise of extra storage space for those who changed over now!) and now I can't switch back to the old photobucket format. It took six or seven code changes to be able to use my selected photos and have them show up as thumbnails and not be a link back to photobucket (it's been taking one change for the past couple of years since their last, less sweeping, change).

I don't know if the code I use (and have used for the past five years) will become obsolete once they move. If so, I will have a very large mess on my hands. At that point I may have to take up livejournal on implementing it's changes, which offers their own version of photo storage.

I'd prefer to just leave well enough alone. I'd prefer to keep doing things the way I have been doing them. Unfortunately the sites I like to use seem hell bent on not letting that be possible.

Change sucks.
