I know, I've posted this before

For some reason, I have been unnecessarily fretting about who has the ability to peek in at the goings on that happen on my electronics. It isn't that I am trying to cover something up or keep the law away from my nefarious activities, but it grows from a more primal, poorly thought out old man "get off my lawn" attitude.
Most of the pictures that I take happen because I pull out my phone and take a shot. I have years and years of pictures up there and I can cut and paste easily into these rambles. Seemed like a good deal at the time. But, and again using the phrase "upon mature reflection" I am drifting away from this convenience and wondering if it is a good idea after all.
Lately I have been spending time getting arms length from the corporate playground that is the internet. I am not going to pull down my old writings, that would be silly, but I think that I am going back 20 years and revert to using a non-phone camera and keep my pictures on hardware I control.
I can't say that it make sense, especially the way the world seems to be heading, but I will see what I can do to get more distance between myself and the electronic overlords.
