dream wearing shoes in public

05:06 Monday 28 May 2018 JST

Walking outside, I realized I was wearing hiking boots and was shocked that I was wearing them while walking around on vacation. I asked store owner if I could have a bag to put them in, but he said he could not give me one, but I could not understand the reason why. I walked further and found a place to put my boots in a locker so I did that and saw Yumi there who taking things out of her locker and she said I could put my shoes with her stuff with kinda the implication that her son would be able to wear them when he got older. That's fine with me and I was glad to be barefoot again, but I wondered if I would really never need them in the next 15 years; I do wear them in winter sometimes!

HI Jackie!

I would like to make a site for my ongoing project, Marble Track 3.

I need some help kinda imagining how is best to present the
info+content I have, plus I have a few ideas+constraints of how I
think it should go.

I think the site can be implemented as a static website with no
backend coding required.  (Except *possibly* for a section
inviting people to get involved with the project.)

I need help with design and CSS.

For my current site at https://new.robnugen.com/ I am using Hugo
(https://gohugo.io/) to create the site based on a theme and a
bunch of markdown files for content.

For the new site, I would like to use my existing markdown files
for the BLOG portion of the site.

Here is an example BLOG source file
https://bitbucket.org/thunderrabbit/robnugen-journal-entries/raw/master/2018/05/02mt3-retested-large-marble.md

From this, Hugo creates
https://new.robnugen.com/journal/2018/05/02/mt3-retested-large-marble/

I want to keep using the same markdown + YAML format so I do not
have to disrupt my current workflow too much.

Let me know if your eyes have not glazed over and I can tell you
more of what I am thinking.

(reminder to self: BLOG, ABOUT, SUPPORT, SNIPPETS, COMMUNITY )

love and light
- Rob
