Yet, there is no plausible explanation, except maybe for the FM principle.
A previous post detailed that I couldn't access several blogs on my sidebar, but instead received a warning that the sites could be risky.
Frustrated and just plain annoyed as to why this message suddenly came up as these blogs were ones accessed regularly without any issues. It seems this could have been a recent security add-on through our home internet provider (Xfinity). This feature would block a site from loading if it suspected any potential dangers from malware, spyware or other risks. Yet, the sites could be accessed when not on my home network, so I was going to access blogs away from the apt.
Happily, I will not have to do that.
Maybe due to that FM principle?
Not sure how or why, but this past weekend all of those sites could be accessed with no displayed cautions. And, that trend thankfully has continued into this week.
And, I did absolutely nothing to cause either the initial problem or the eventual resolution.
Sometimes, there is magic and as long as all is working again, I believe.
Several mornings this week, our river views have been fogged in. The weather hasn't been spring-like with steady rain last weekend and a forecast of light snow changing to rain this week. However, we haven't had any of the nastier weather affecting many other states.
Thanks for all the comments on last week's Friday Funnies post that showed photos of lost shoes in singles and pairs. The diverse locations where the footwear was seen didn't provide any clues. As in many cities, there is a homeless population within Nashua, so perhaps a few bloggers were correct in supposing that the paired shoes were left for them.
That said, here's what I saw earlier this week l and in this location, a Recycle can downtown on Main Street and only the lone boot. This one was not made for walking solo.

Trying to figure out the vicissitudes of blogging is a hopeless task!
I’m glad the problem cleared up. Sometimes there’s just no answer!
...I rarely am a happy camper when things aren't the way they should be. But in the grand scheme of things I need to keep putting one foot in front of the other!
I should probably go back and read your report spam post. I am getting spammed by Jessie daily now — 84 this morning. It doesn’t take much to delete them, but still …
When it comes to bloging, you just have to go with the flow!
We’ve had a lot of fog this spring which isn’t usual for us. Now coastal Newfoundland on the other hand…
I think it's a blogger thing. It's been happening to me for years. After a day it goes away. I think it's blogger tinkering with security.
We planned a weekend trip a couple hours away from here, this coming weekend. We rented an Airbnb that we have stayed in before. The plan was to watch our nieces and nephews fish on Saturday. A deluge of rain is forecasted. My sister-in-law says they fish when it rains, when it is wet. They catch fish then. She says it is fun. Well, not our idea of fun! We cancelled that trip. I am glad that your technical stuff is back to normal.
I wonder where the other boot went...maybe better not to wonder. LOL. Anyway, I'm glad the access issue has been resolved by whatever means, it is resolved. Our cyber world has many "issues" that we can't quite comprehend. I'm just thankful for when it is working with no complaints. We've become very accustomed to our customary way of doing things and don't like to be disrupted. LOL. Have a lovely day and rest of your week in spite of the fog and/or rain/snow. It's going to be 90 degrees here again today!! Yikes!
I love that recycle container-great idea. glad you didn't get snow and ice as I am reading some on the east coast did. we are getting lots of rain today and it is a cold rain.
I think your issue with blogs popped up on me several years ago and the same it resolved itself somehow-smiles.
hugs Kathy
It wouldn't be blogger if something annoying wasn't happening. I currently cannot upload videos. For now, your problem can be marked solved.
Now that is a boot!
I wasn't familiar with the FM principle. Googled it and it has many connotations, I must say. I think I'll pass on using that one-LOL!
Blogger has been fickle on its own without you also maybe having provider issues. I hope it has resolved itself.
We got more snow in our current snowstorm than we have had all winter. Heavy, wet, clingy snow. Ice first, so I hope not too many branches were lost or trees. I like your mist over the water view there. Have a good one! :)
Beautiful mystical and spooky fog photos. I hate all this tight security! Did I tell you that Apple is the worst? I had to throw out my iPad because could never get into it!! Even with talking to their customer service. Sorry if I already told you this, my memory is not the best any more!!
I am glad you showed the boot today, the odd thing is after seeing all of last weeks shoes, twice on the way to and from the doctor office, I saw ONE shoe in the street. glad the issue fixed itself, and for the past two days, I could not open several documents store on a hard drive for safe keeping, I spent HOURS trying to figure out why not, all the other documents were fined, 3rd day I was able to open both. I did nothing but research.
it is magic when everything comes together....but when it doesn't it can be frustrating. we are so lucky to have these advanced electronics and what would we ever do without google. i LOVE the fog pictures.
I can't keep track of all the issues that blogging presents sometimes. I have one blog I can sometimes access, and sometimes not. I'm not sure what all the issues are or even how to fix them. Why does one day blogger put your photos in in reverse order and then the next, the order you chose them. Why is it sometimes I can't get out of the indentation it chose for me and I don't want.......Have a great FRiday and weekend.
I hear you on the anomalies. We get American content blocked on Facebook a lot; silly government rules. I spend far too much skull sweat trying to make my husband understand even the basics of using his computer. He has me attach files, search, etc. Sigh. I don't know much, but I look good compared to him. But, he says cheerfully, why should he learn if I can do it. AAArgh.
That's a very fancy boot, and it looks like it's in good condition. I'm surprised the owner wanted to get rid of it.
Good to know your blogging issues have been sorted out. That's an interesting boot. There was a recent story I wrote about a dozen of shoes were found. In this instance it turned out that a fox had been making off with those found at the back door of people's homes. Love those foggy views of yours. I enjoy misty mornings, tricky for driving though.
That should have said 'read' not 'wrote' :)
Blogging can be full of (unsolved) mysteries and annoyances. I'm always glad when it works fine and get grumpy when it doesn't. I'm glad that your issues resolved themselves. I sometimes resolve to the software engineer's "solution" - restarting the computer. Sometimes it even works!
