Writing forces me to examine my views as cold words on a page.
My views are borne out of my experiences on this world.
My experiences are slowly adding to the short story that is my life.
While I still can, I choose to share some for anyone who might find them useful, or perhaps just entertaining.

I was bored . . .
. . . so I played around with a few photos. As the caption says, that was taken in Yellowstone National Park in 2013. This next version of it was processed in onOne Effects.
Smart and Yellowstone NP
One can easily argue the duplicity of people when it comes to the value of being smart. There are many definitions of smart. Some relate to specific metrics (IQ) while others place the emphasis on matters that are harder to … Continue reading
Thoughts and Stuff and Yellowstone NP
I should warn people . . . I may not be around much during the next few months. Wait . . . is that clapping and cheering I hear? I’m still going to post stuff here whenever I need a … Continue reading

Freedom of Speech, Politics, and Yellowstone NP
There are noises on the airwaves. Some of them relate to Freedom of Speech. But, before I get to something that means a lot to me, I want to touch on the underlying reason I’m writing this. I am referring, of … Continue reading
Yellowstone 2007 – Day Three, Day Four and Beyond
As I suspected, few people bothered to read the PDF of the narrative (and I thank them who did), so I’ll make this a quick post . . . well, relatively quick. Here’s the narrative for Day Three and here’s the … Continue reading
Yellowstone 2007 – Day One and Day Two
I’ve had a stressful evening, so I thought I would sit down and do a post to relax me. To wit, I figure . . . what? Why was it stressful? Ah . . . you see, we have neighbors … Continue reading
Yes, I’m still here.
It may not seem like it, but I still maintain and occasionally contribute to this blog. I probably shouldn’t as things seem to pile up faster than I can unpile them, but this is my relaxation. Writing is too, but … Continue reading
