Delineator Discovery!

I found my Delineator! The the 1910 era women were depicted wearing flowers or sniffing them....

The irony, it is from August 1909, only a month earlier than my new acquistion.

Anyway, I've purchased one from August 1911, the month Margaret and Marion sew Flora up for school. So all is well.

And with the cool air, my head has unclogged and I fixed up the middle part of Theshold Girl. Simply, efficiently, by putting it in chronological order.

The day I spent fixing the graphics allowed me to work on the problem without working on the problem...Obliquely.

Hmm.

I got an email form Workopolis: I guess I am on their list. The subject line intrigued me.. "The 10 doomed industries or industries with no future."

Well, I guess it's no worse than any other newspaper article, so I read it.

According to this workopolis promo e-mail.... Newspaper journalist is the worse profession, followed by apparel manufacturing and textile mills.

Journalists are a dime a dozen these days, with citizen journalists. And of those who took a degree: Just work for a tabloid then go into consulting for the government or police.. or straight into PR.

Or blog if you are above all that, and make money at some side-job.

My husband's profession, electronic newsgathering, wasn't listed in the Workopolis article. Although video post production was.

There are more news outlets than ever, but these often hire models and talking heads. And the way things happen: a story is covered to death and then forgotten. "Nothing in Moderation" has to be the slogan of news media these days.


Of course, that's what's wrong with the world, but what can you do.
