                                                     Under construction (still working 01/26/2021)

                                                 (I could really use that editor or someone)


I have decided to try and organize this blog for reference. This is not an index or a table of contents. This is more posts by topic. Some posts may appear under multiple topics. I will be working on this from time to time so at various times you may see changes such as posts moved or added to another category or even categories added. My blog is all over the map when it comes to content so hopefully this will help if you ever want to find something you read before. I will start the list with title and date of blog. I may add a description sentence to some.

And yep this is for my benefit also. I am letting this be viewed while under construction because either it will always be under construction or at least you can start to find previous blogs. Feel free to comment on formatting, category, topics, or whatever the heck you want.

The introduction post to my blog is 12/10/2010 and rambles a bit, yet re reading it does let me know I have been pretty consistent to why I started this blog in the first place.

(I have been sorely tempted to edit some of the posts as I go back and read them. I have resisted the temptation. The mistakes need to stay)  oops a few were edited, will go back to leaving them alone. And then again in early 2013 I thought I knew what I was saying, actually still am confident, yet some things are still up in the air)
