I’ve been on the Fornicalia coast in Mendocino County for the past ten days on vacation with my wife, posting from a rental house overlooking the Mendocino Headlands.  Originally to have occurred in early February — but my wife had a school to attend and I had other projects at work — we had to delay our vacation by a full month.  I plan our vacations roughly a year in advance.

We’ll be leaving tomorrow (I’m writing this on Wednesday for a Thursday post, because I’ll be driving all day Thursday.) and, whilst here, have identified other places we’d like to visit when we return.

One problem with WordPress, however, is that there is a limit with the size of videos allowed as well as the size of photographs.

I was poised to post a very nice video of the ocean from my Samsung Galaxy Note II phone in HD, but WordPress nixed that.  Thanks, WordPress.  I could upload that video into Blogger (with my train blog) but not here.  This is the look and sound of me being not particularly pleased at the moment.

In the meantime, I have had to purposely re-adjust some photographs so their sizes would fit here.  This still rankles me — I could post unlimited sizes in Blogger and you could click the photo to enbiggify.  Bastardos.

So this one post has taken me the better part of four hours to create and size in PhotoShop and SnagIt for a seemingly-measly ten or so photographs.  Which, by the way, I had to load one-by-one into WordPress.

A brief selection of the 200+ photographs taken during this stint.

And my favorite radio station on the entire planet is KOZT-FM, “The Coast,” in Ft. Bragg, on 93.5 and 93.9.

Heavy sigh.

Back to the drudgery of work and the valley.

I hope you enjoy the photographs; sorry they were delayed.
