Welcome. I am happy to have you join in even if it’s only for a few minutes. Actually, a few minutes may be more than it is worth to you … but you’ll have to decide that for yourself. I started this thing about twenty years ago, using a piece of software that no longer exists. When the company that made that tool vanished, I gave WordPress a try. So far, so good.

Let me state right away that this blog is meant to be 95% an amusement, and 5% a provocation. If you find that you are not amused … .

I live in a small town in western Colorado called Montrose. Population about 19,000. Altitude about 5700 feet above sea level. It is a politically red town in a politically red county and has voted for Donald Cluck 2:1 every chance it got. Most of the time I am successful in overlooking my neighbors’ behavior, remembering Jesus’ admonition to “Forgive them for they know not what they do.” But lord, that takes some doin’ some days.

A visitor will quickly find that I am friendlier towards the left side of the political spectrum, poets, cats of all sizes, rock n’ roll, and certain classes of lunatics.

I am a 24 year-old man who is trapped inside an 8o+ year-old body. I have consulted many physicians but they all tell me the same thing – that they have no idea how I got in there, and less of an idea how to get me out. Their best advice so far has been to get real and get used to it.

So I am taking out my frustrations on the world by publishing this blog, where I can bore people with vapid opinions, the minutiae of life here in western Colorado, and a legion of topics that may well be of little interest to anyone but myself.

.

I’m a pretty even-tempered guy, except when it comes to politics. At times I have been a Democrat, but in recent years they have irritated me enough that I am now an independent. I never had an inclination to join the Republicans, who gave up governing altogether somewhere along the way and now all seem to be trying out for roles in the new movie: The Madness of King Donald.

(It’s a remake of the movie The Madness of King George, which was originally made in 1994).

I wouldn’t have made a good Republican anyway. My credentials as a white nationalist are completely inadequate. And there is this – I believe in democracy – which I have heard is now an automatic disqualification for membership in that party.
