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. 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.
