While I could probably make a few hundred bucks a year on my blog, I choose not to do advertising because I find it to be kind of annoying. 🛍 My blog isn’t that expensive to pay for the hosting, maybe $100 a year, 🕸and it gives me an outlet to share my experiences and continue to expand my knowledge of GIS and mapping through practical experience. 🗺 I don’t have internet at home, instead using public hotspots and my phone, so I figure the cost of hosting is far less then what I would pay for general internet.

Today has been a fairly cool day, only warming up to the low 50s. 🌤 We had some breaks of sun, but now it looks like it’s clouding back up again. Then again, such weather really isn’t that uncommon for the second half of October I guess. 🍂
