The Software on the "Holi" page is kind of Squirrelly

What I mean by this is some software is fairly unstable once it is run through the automatic HTML generators called "Compose" here at blogger.com (you will read it as blogspot.com) as a reader).

So, I just want to warn you it is acting sort of squirrelly which means "it is doing strange things" like when I wanted to add a story I couldn't separate the pictures from the text I was generating. Another odd thing about the code is that sometimes it suppresses my word buttons to the right for navigating the page for a time while loading too. So, if this happens and you want to go to another article here just go back one page (left arrow at upper left) if you are in Firefox) which is what I compose in that seems to be the most stable while quoting software from all over the world online.

If you haven't heard the term squirrelly it is used here in the U.S. sometimes because squirrels dart back and forth in strange ways to a human so they aren't picked off by hawks. So, when hawks have a tragectory towards one is moves in an unpredictable manner so the hawks attack is thrown off in flight and usually the squirrel stays alive because of this.

But, to a human this strange "jumping in all directions" is kind of crazy for a human  not trying to avoid being killed by a hawk, or an eagle of some kind all the time while running on the ground looking for nuts (which is sort of humorous to a human in some ways too).

One of my favorite experiences in my life was with a "Fairy Diddle" which is a kind of Flying squirrel on my property in a remote place on Mt. Shasta. The fairy diddle scolded me at about 10 feet up a huge 6 foot through Port Orford Cedar Tree while standing upside down on the outside of the tree bouncing up and down the tree trying to make me go away. I stood there and laughed for several minutes because this wonderful Fairy diddle was the funniest thing of that day. I never forgot the joy of that moment which happened when I lived remotely without electricity or phones on purpose in the early 1980s on my land on Mt. Shasta then.

Those 5 years of mountain bliss allowed me to still be alive and happy now here in 2018!
