And I can imagine that if one's big on walking as you are, and usually toting a camera as well, a handbag can be cumbersome. Something that keeps you balanced with your hands free sounds like the go. The messenger bag sounds like a good possibility.Shell Sherreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00477843748741838608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-9323713008826673712012-03-10T17:08:34.014-08:002012-03-10T17:08:34.014-08:00Ok - to be the contrarian here.

Since they've made recent changes only the embedded format allows commenters to follow the conversation. Although I don't like this format and prefer the full page, I've changed to embedded because I like to follow the conversation when I comment and I want to make it easier for readers to do so as well.<br /><br />I've put in requests to Blogger to fix this and so have many others. They are unresponsive. I don't know if they plan to fix it or not.
