My Introduction

Don't do facebook, xwitter, tiktoc, etc, so here I am, looking for a bit of a like-minded venue.
Been doing the 'letter to the editor' thing in the local paper for 35-40 years, then kind of gave it up as work concerns took priority. Now retired and back at it. Might see some posts that reflect that type of format, though trying to adapt to the 'forum' construct.
Did a stint in my youth as a 'libertarian', then grew out of it and became a Democrat. Colorado born and raised, now living, unabashedly, in the 'deep red'. Science minded and reality based.

I'm glad you're here! I think you'll contribute some great thinking for all of us to read.

Do check out some of the smaller groups as we don't always want to be political! Cooking & Baking, Photo Group, to name only a couple.

Again, welcome!

I'm a born Hoosier and I say, "Never say never."


Indiana turned blue for Pres. Obama for the 2008 election.

My younger brother lived in Colorado, first in Denver, then the sw corner, outside of Durango. I still have friends and relatives in Denver.
