Sadly I have discovered that I did not invent the term ‘blog surfing.’ Not that there are a whole lot of references to that phrase but I did find it in a blog that dated back a few years. And here I thought I would become famous or something.
It’s been cold, rainy and otherwise boring here with nothing to do but stay indoors and clean a bit. (No mopping, except left-handed, with the Swiffer WetJet®. I learned my lesson.) Naturally, I require frequent breaks. During those breaks, I have been either playing with my new camera or blog surfing.
Let me tell ya, there are a lot of really strange blogs out there! Stranger than anything you’ll ever find here. I’ve used that blogger redirect link because, although WordPress also has one, it’s much slower.
One thing I’ve learned about blogs is about a third of them are business or technology related, a third are sort of like mine only much more boring and a third are in other languages. For today’s entertainment, I decided to see if I could tell what language these were written in and what they mean:

Hey, I told you it was a slow news day. Be grateful I’m not posting dozens of photos of my bamboo plant taken at 50 different angles with 108 different settings.
