Since Google's most recent core update (Dec 12, 2025) I am suddenly getting a plethora of traffic (500+ visits daily) to my Blogger blog (started 26 years ago) and its traffic to flash fiction, short stories, and poetry (something that has always been notoriously difficult to get traffic to on Blogger since its BlogSpot days). This update, whatever it is, seems to be driving traffic to all the oldest 20 to 30 year old websites, blogs, and GeoCities type sites. Never seen Google do an update like this one before.

The plow just left, but not only did he not shovel to the door, but he plowed it in so it can't be shoveled. I can not get out my door, nor can I get my wheelchair out either. I'm gonna have to contact the Department of Human Services. This is an Avesta house and Maine law requires disability access. Biddeford fire department requires all doors be accessible. This is the only disability accessible door in the building. I can not use any other door in the building. :(

Trains in Maine

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8UBQoj2/ This is the train that'll be using the trestle track once they finish working on it. It just made its 1st run through Maine this week. Passenger train from Quebec to compete with Amtrak The Biddeford track doesn't connect with it yet, that's why they are working on it. Its a food train, going through picking up food donations and delivering them to homeless communities for Thanksgiving. They make runs helping the homeless communities that live along railroad tracks. I am glad when people help homeless people. I was homeless for 9 years and I know how hard it can be to find even the most basic things you need when homeless. Its supposed to connect to Biddeford by 2030.

Full details HERE | National Novel Writing Month / NaNoWriMo 2025 Update: I should hit 200k tomorrow! I just updated my word count and it says: 194,420/50,000 Average daily words 8,454 words That means I've only got 5,580 more words to reach 200k, which is less than my daily average, so I should reach it tomorrow! But with 7 days left to go, I could reach my highest word count ever, because I usually scrape past 200k on day 30. This is my 21st November writing month...

I’ve not been keeping track of weekly words, so, not sure weekly count of exact day count. I come in NovNov each night, log my word total for the day, and that says right now:  “178,610/50,000, Average daily word 8,506 words”  …so I’ll likely reach 200k by the end of the month. I’m only including story, nothing else. (I’ve been asked a ...
