Well, I started my very own Blog.

   First of all I want to thank every one of you that has always thrown in the chime; you should write a book, you should write, you're a (insert here: good, great, cruddy) writer. And to one person who said; I should go to school and learn to write, they did mean it to be that I should learn to write better.
I've written blogs and still do for Joshua Tree & Southern about what we do on the 7 1/2" railroad so this isn't too new. It does open doors that have had feet behind them as I can write truly how and what I feel. You are not going to get too much of a different feel from what I write, it just gives me the freedom of the 'thumb' not being over my head watching that I do not offend someone that I really don't give a shit about their opinion anyway. I grew up with two knobs on a television and radio, one changed the volume and the other changed the channel. If for some reason you do not like what I have to say, do not read it, but do not tell me I cannot say it.

   I have taken to writing short tid-bits on Facebook with a picture to grab the eye. I get many a response, they will continue and I hope to be able to paste them into this. My smarter than I phone is a great medium for me, it is nearby and takes really good pictures for the size. I can punch out a story with one fat thumb with not much effort at all. My interests vary like the shadows on the ground, if it has tits or wheel I like it so you will get trains, planes and automobiles for sure and even heart tugging epistles from somewhere you never would of thought of. You might get tirades or tributes, or just something that caught my interest enough to stop and put it down for you to look into the windows of my soul. And one more thing; in school I sucked at English, who cares what a dangling participle is and I don't know now. I write'em like I say'em. But I am sure if any of my teachers from school are still kicking they would be surprised that I could put this many letters together and get something one could understand. Thanks Herrick and Linville, but I  do think Lambert and Newman had better stories.

    I think you will or have got my point. I am writing this to share my limited talent of putting words down on this modern parchment and to reach further with your wishes that I write a book. It is your job now to share this with your friends that like a good quick read on occasion. The subject will vary as much as my interests in the world around me. I will also pull stories from the past to be able to have all my 'etchings' in one place. It's a brand new world, let's go see where this goes. I expect feedback, and a good word out to more people to see this. As we learned in elementary school after we placed our hands over our hearts...Ready, Begin....
