WHY ANOTHER BLOG?

Isn't there already enough stuff out there in the blogosphere without me just adding to the electronic clutter?  Possibly, but maybe this one is a little different.

This won't be a diary or anything near to that and it certainly won't be about politics.  On that subject, I do not know any more than the talking heads you see ranting on cable TV all the time.  It won't be an autobiography; I'm not that interesting.  It won't be a wish list asking the impossible.  Like how to put the extra toothpaste back in the tube after you squeezed it too hard.  No better tomorrows will be depicted here.

I like to fool with words.  Paint pictures with them.  Tickle your brain or your fancy with them.  Use them in odd juxtapositions to see what happens.  There are a number of subjects that particularly interest me, but except for the limitations cited above, just about anything is fair game.  Most of these will be essays.  Some are expansions of what the young people call "brain farts", wherein I expand on an odd thought or observation that came my way. 

Most times, the scrivenings will reflect my interests: my locale, Appalachia,  nature, special heroes, music, science, and charming oddities.  I aim to tell stories, most amusingly (I hope), but some straight from the heart.

I will also try to illustrate or adorn these rambles with stuff I have either captured on film or on water color paper myself.  When all else fails, I am not above filching something from the net.  I think the reader will be able to tell the difference.

So, sit back and read.  May your funny bone be zapped and may your brain receive a thought warp!
