A Note to Readers

I've noticed that in some of my posts random words are appearing as hot links (on my screen, orange in color) that lead to ads (I just realized that the word "Maria" is so presented in the previous post). I'm assuming this is something that Blogspot, the host of this and other blogs, is doing though it may be the result of some kind of intruder. At any rate, I want to let you know that it has been done without my prior knowledge or permission and you are all excused from actually clicking on the links. Maybe if no one connects, they'll go away.
