From the first posting over a year ago until now, existentialautotrip has gone through a series of changes.
For example, it took many months before I learned how to post images.
And changes will continue.

Reminder that tomorrow, Thursday, we’ll see two minor changes to our website.
One is that each day’s posting will be added to the blog with prior postings.
And the second will feature a Subscription box that, when filled out with the user’s email address, will send each new post to his email.

The first change will make it easier to send the daily posts out on social media as we campaign for new subscribers.
The second change will enable new readers to easily become subscribers as we pursue our goal of doubling our followers before our next anniversary.

The pleasure one derives from fulfilling his wishes.
Satisfaction.
And the blog, as it is constituted, has become so satisfying that I have to go back decades to the thirty years, when I was in full commitment to my restaurant, to replicate the joy I take from my work on the blog.

The joint use of a resource or space.
Sharing.
And the blog, as it is constituted, has become so satisfying that I feel a desire to share it with as wide a group as will be happy to follow it.

Lacking in movement, action, or change, especially in an undesirable or uninteresting way.
Static.
And the blog, as it is constituted, has become so satisfying because I have resisted the desire to stand pat.
From time to time the blog will add a new section to see how it flies with our followers. The last two we’ve added, the Chuckle section of three months ago and, a few weeks ago, Howard’s occasional section on My Café Life, have been unmitigated successes.

From the first posting over a year ago until now, existentialautotrip has gone through a series of changes.
Expect more to come.

Answer to the Question of the Day:
What is sharing?

Sharing is the joint use of a resource or space.
It is also the process of dividing and distributing.
In its narrow sense, it refers to joint or alternating use of inherently finite goods, such as a common pasture or a shared residence.
Still more loosely, "sharing" can actually mean giving something as an outright gift: for example, to "share" one's food really means to give some of it as a gift.

Sharing is a basic component of human interaction, and is responsible for strengthening social ties and ensuring a person’s well-being.

Apart from obvious instances, which we can observe in human activity, we can also find many examples of this happening in nature.
When an organism takes in nutrition or oxygen for instance, its internal organs are designed to divide and distribute the energy taken in, to supply parts of its body that need it.
Flowers divide and distribute their seeds.
In a broader sense, it can also include free granting of use rights to goods that can be treated as nonrival goods, such as information.

In computer and Internet culture, file sharing is the practice of distributing or providing access to digitally stored information, such as computer programs, multi-media (audio, video), documents, or electronic books.
Sharing is a key feature in the developing field of free software and open source software.
This is leading to a need to review licensing, patents and copyright, and to controversy in these areas.

In computer science, the issue of handling shared resources figures prominently.
For example, time-sharing is an approach to interactive computing in which a single computer is used to provide apparently simultaneous interactive general-purpose computing to multiple users by sharing processor time.

In a market, sharing occurs when competitors agree to divide or allocate customers, suppliers or territories among themselves rather than allowing competitive market forces to work.
Market sharing can include allocating customers by geographic area or dividing contracts by value within an area.
Market sharing also exists when competitors agree not to compete for established customers, not to produce each other’s products or services, or not to expand into a competitor’s market.

Market sharing is generally an illegal practice as it violates anti-trust laws and the basic principles of the free market.
Market sharing mainly occur in the form of cartels like the Guadalajara Cartel, which was the first Mexican drug cartel to consolidate the production and supply of illegal marijuana into a single organization.

And now? Gotta go.Che vuoi? Le pocketbook?
