ezs note: This is a test, this is only a test... okay, it's a little more than that. Several years ago, I experimented with YouTube, but I put it aside after one go-around. It was interesting, but I put it aside. Now that the coronavirus has kept me pretty much within these four walls, I've decided to run a bit of experiment. And that's where you come in. Do you have any questions or comments? First, go top YouTube then go to the top where you'll enter emilysvirtualrocket.blogspot.com. Hopefully, that's where you'll find the video.
