The Ball Bounces Banned In Beijing!!!

I was unable to access the Blogger server in Shanghai. Kept getting a cannot access message. Apparently China has blocked Blogger (but, inexplicably, not Wordpress) since 2009.

This shakes the Ball Bounces to the core. To think that there is this vast swath of humanity -- the Chinese -- who are unable to access this blog. Oh, the humanity! (I've also noticed that an awful lot of them can't speak English, so maybe it's a moot point.)

I haven't been able to approve any comments for the past few days.  I'm getting caught up now, and will be back in the game soon.

Maybe I should flee to Wordpress.

And that's the way the Ball bounces.
