Aside:

I used to live in northern Delaware (indeed, that’s where I was living when I started this blog). When I had to go to my company’s headquarters in D. C., I occasionally would see Joe Biden and Bill Roth, Delaware’s Senators at the time, on the early Metroliner to Washington. (And, no, I never disturbed them.)

Why? Because they lived in Delaware and commuted to D. C. every day. They stayed over in D. C. only when pressing business forced them to.

Frankly, I think that’s one reason that both of them were pretty good Senators–they remained grounded in their home state (though, sadly, Roth got a little ditzy towards the end of his career).

But I suspect that the smears Farron refers to will resonate with many Republican supporters. What with smartphones and all, reading maps seems to be a lost art.

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.
