Why do the announcers in ads for pick-up trucks always sound like they stepped out of bad 1940s western movies?

Because they want guys who think they are Real Big Men to buy I-am-an-inadequate-male pick-up trucks to drive to the 7-11.

Full Disclosure:

I used to a have pick-up truck, a GMC Sonoma. I was raised Ford, but, I must say, it was a darned fine piece of work that served me well for over a decade.

And I didn’t buy it to go to the 7-11. I bought to pull a boat, back when I had a boat.

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.
