\"\"<\/a> H<\/strong><\/em>ow does one say goodbye to a weblog and its readers after almost six years and 2500 posts?\u00a0 I’m not sure, but happily won’t have to decide until the next and final posting here at f\/k\/a<\/em> later today.\u00a0\u00a0 For now, I put up one last sunset photo from the end of my block, and then sorted through my previously-published haiga (pictures with a linked haiku or senryu), and found some that match my mood(s).\u00a0 My brother, Buffalo lawyer Arthur J. Giacalone<\/a> took each of the haiga photos in today’s post, except for the first and last one.<\/p>\n
