So Long, Tumblr

After a three year run, I’m reluctantly moving content from Tumblr to another site.

For an obsessive sort like me, the ongoing problems with Tumblr Search are especially frustrating, and the philosophical clash between Tumblr and Google with its negative impact on rankings have likewise become unendurable.

I have transferred copies of the Good Clean Wholesome Fun posts to a new site, DrHGuy and will continue to add content there.

As of today, I will no longer be adding material to this Good Clean Wholesome Fun site although I will, for the time being, keep this iteration of Good Clean Wholesome Fun intact and online.

It’s been real.

The Ozarks Spook Light (also see preceding post), which is certainly scary enough for Halloween.  From Spooklight Story

The Ozarks Spook Light (also see preceding post), which is certainly scary enough for Halloween.  From Spooklight Story

The Ozarks Spook Light (also, Spooklight).  The  saga of my up close and personal encounter with the Ozarks   Spooklight (also spelled  “Spook Light”) is not technically linked to  Halloween, but it is - well, spooky, and that seems close enough.
The following excerpt provides a sense of the (absolutely true) story:

It  was at this time that our conviction that we understood how the world  operated in general, along with our beliefs in specific scientific  principles, dissolved in the acute, undiluted fear of impending doom.

This genuinely scary story can be found at Spooklight Story.  General information about the Spooklight is located at The Spooklight Background.

I remember saying to my lawyer who was accompanying me there [Cohen’s singing debut in NYC]. In a state of panic, I said ‘I don’t know what I’m doing here; I can’t sing,’ and he said, ‘None of you guys can sing. When I want to hear singers, I go the Metropolitan Opera.’

Leonard Cohen in contemplation of Federico García Lorca during a 1986 visit to the poet’s home in  Granada. After the photo on left was taken, Cohen asked for a moment alone. When his host returned, he discovered the inverted Leonard Cohen in the photo on the right.
