Mike was finally able to convince Flickr that the problem was theirs. They fixed it rather quickly and now I am in the process of backfilling the pictures to the posts. I have recently updated to an iPhone and the 'HEIC' pictures won't upload to FLICKR so I am converting them to JPG's one at a time until I figure a better way to do it. Also, pictures are kind of sparse because without the blog I had no extra motivation to take pictures so some posts may not have pictures. And, thanks Mike for your determination to show it was their problem as they continued to respond with "It's your problem".
