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.

I had to learn to drive a stick when I was 22. It was not a fun time. It got worse when Chris tried to help. Then he got that pickup that had the “3 on the tree”. Gears hanging up, truck didn’t go anywhere, I was stranded. That sucked, big time.
Now I can drive anything I want. It would have been easier to learn to drive the standards when I was 15, instead of starting out in an automatic.

Our drivers ed. car had been donated to the school. I learned on a 1955 Chevrolet with three-on-the-tree.
Of course, knowing how to shift from 3rd to 4th (“road” gear) on a 1953 Farmall Super C three-point with an unsynchronized transmission helped.
