All things end.
When I upload my BlackBerry photos, I'm sending them to Blogger's servers, and Blogger gives me only one gigabyte's worth of storage capacity. I'm already using 6% of that capacity with the photos I've uploaded (the Walk is barely a month old), so I'll soon have to figure out how to send pics from the BlackBerry to Photobucket, where I have unlimited bandwidth, and display the pics that way. This isn't something for you, the reader, to worry about, but it's rapidly becoming a concern for me. Sit tight.

HI there,
Have been catching up with you as I am behind the times because of other stuff replacing the pleasure of reading about your journey.
One quick question-do you miss seeing at least one person a day who really knows you? It is so rare for most people to experience a place where they are meeting new faces and leaving behind the ones they just met, that I wondered how this affects you.
also, as I read I wonder if you would like comments more or if they add to your load?

JO,
More comments will be fine! I enjoy almost all of the reactions I receive, and even the ones I don't enjoy are instructive some way or other.
I do miss hanging with close friends, and often feel it's too bad that I'm not in one place long enough to really get to know the people I meet. It's impossible to forge deep friendships this way unless I and those people actively maintain frequent e-contact throughout the journey. But most of the folks I've met are busy, and only some can truly afford to "hang," even cyberspace-wise. I accept this as one of the consequences of the type of journey I'm taking.
Now if I can only stop people from making those Forrest Gump jokes...

Kevin,
On the photos. Your 1GB limit on blogger is shared with another Google service - Picasa, I guess Google's version of Photobucket if you will.
You have a Picasa account by virtue of having any other Google account (Gmail, Blogger etc etc.) just go to the main Picasa page (http://picasaweb.google.com) and log in with your existing Google credentials.
You might consider upgrading your google storage. For $20 a year you can increase your storage over all google's services. (A unified 10GB for Picasa, Blogger, Gmail etc. which should be more than enough for your needs.)
Maybe that helps.
