Colorado, 1862  A couple of months ago a friend of mine who was involved with a political fundraising event, asked me to put together a piece of artwork that could go to auction. Sure, I said, as it sounded like a good idea. The problem is, I don't have the equipment to put together the piece I wanted to make. In years past, I used a maker's space's equipment but hadn't been back to the that maker's space since a couple of years before Covid-19 shut the world down.  But, we persevere.  I took out some old supplies that I had in my storage unit and contacted the maker's space. They had purchased some new equipment they were prioritizing over their older equipment that was collecting dust in the corner.  They allowed people to come in and work on this equipment in one hour increments and then did little to no help with setup or figuring out the proper settings.

I really would like a quick-post widget or the ability to share a photo from Photos rather than having to come to Blogger and find the photo to share.
