Hi Google!

I love how Google works. Here is something for free. And then two minutes later - We don't like your blog!


HUH? I thought this was my blog? How can this be a free service and then have such restrictions. Get it straight... At any rate. I am posting a cool picture of Rochester NY - My home town. We'll see if Google finds this offensive. In which case, I will move to Wordpress.




So this is the Upper Falls in Rochester NY. Cool huh? I know I enjoy them.
