It's basically a vanity project. I post things that are of interest to me. I see the posts as a diversion from ... the rest of the world.

Some of the things I bring up really are important. Others, less so. The rule is whatever strikes my fancy.

Not everything is pleasant -- school shootings, hotel fires, midair collisions -- but it happened, and I feel it should be noted.

Thanks for reading my posts. And good afternoon.
