Happy 75th, Blue Ridge Parkway 0

By the way, the Parkway was a WPA project, one of those make-work projects with no lasting value from the last Great Republican Depression.

My elementary school was also a WPA project; it is now long worn out and closed, but only after teaching generations of students to read, write, and cipher.

I mention this simply to point out that government can do and has done good and useful and sometimes even beautiful things of lasting value which do not include blowing people up, despite what Republicans say.

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.
