In the latest migration to a new virtual private server, some of the links to images in the earliest posts to this blog were broken. If you encounter one of these broken links, please let me know. I have backups and can restore the images.
There’s only one person who agrees with me on everything, and, as I’m not running for office, that person is not on the ballot.
If it’s a tie, you lose.
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.

The stupidity of the average driver never ceases to amaze me – although I should stop being amazed when it comes to driver stupidity.
I have to wonder what else she may have been doing other than driving…talking (or texting) on a cell phone perhaps? I would not be surprised.

Suicide attempt? A lot of grade crossing accidents are actually suicide attempts. The rest are dumbness, and they have been going on since long before cell phones.
Driving back from Va. Bch. Tuesday I once again was impressed with how much my using cruise control makes the erratic driving of others stand out.

If she wanted to commit suicide, she should have picked a train moving faster than 10 mph. I’ll stick with my theory of simple stupidity (or simply stupid).
