This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

A few weeks ago I was working on a fire alarm in a Springfield Housing Authority high-rise. The maintenance engineer and I boarded an elevator shared an elevator with a little old lady. She was probably late 70’s or early 80’s. She said, “Do you guys want to hear my new joke?” I assumed it would be some cute little pun or something, but she went on to tell us a most surprising story about a man who wore black patent leather shoes on a dancing date with his girlfriend…

And he never looked her in the face, right?

Not too long ago, when I was visiting my mother, my aunt, who is 94, insisted on showing me a printout of jokes I would not repeat here.
I think, when someone gets old enough, he or she can reach a point of just not giving a damn.

Not long after Chris & I were married, he met my great-grandmother. Then she floored him, when she got irritated with someone, & sat in her chair, with her Coors in her hand, & pulled out her favorite expression. “Oh ba$$s!” She was 95 at the time. At that age, I believe it gives them a laugh to shock someone. My grandmother did the same thing, different word, minus the beer.
