Twelve Mile Circle now has a Twitter presence. I began a soft launch with 12MC’s Google+ followers two weeks ago so I could work out the details. I’m now able to post a variety of ways including by mobile phone, and I’ve successfully posted a photo from that source as well. I’m ready to take the next step and open this account to the general public. I do want to take a moment to recognize my Google+ circle — yes, I have a Twelve Mile Circle circle — for bearing with me while I worked out all of the peculiarities on my end. Thank you all for helping me with the launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can now find the 12MC Twitter feed at TheReal12MC<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s a whole story behind that account name. Obviously lots of names were unavailable because I came to the party so late. This included the existence of a musical group called Twelve Mile Circle. I first floated the Twitter idea about a year ago and loyal reader Greg posted a prescient comment<\/a>: “It looks like twitter.com\/TheReal12MC is available.<\/em>” There you go Greg, you get full credit for naming the 12MC Twitter site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the Road<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

WordPress software allows an author to select the date and time an article will post to the Internet. I wrote this article on Thursday evening. Right now — if you’re reading this article on the day it posts — it’s Sunday. I am on the road somewhere within the vicinity of the Dust Bowl on my way to Dalhart, Texas. I have embarked upon the Dust Bowl trip<\/a> that I’ve been talking about since August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
