Driving an hour on the road to work, one thinks about a lot of things. Today, it was pothole after pothole. When you drive a zippy little sports car, you feel each one you hit. The larger ones will even mess up your wheel alignment. “They should make them more colorful,” I thought. Yes! Colored pothole fillers! I mean, they already have those indestructible plastic dots glued between lanes (Bott’s Dots, they’re called), so why not fill in potholes with similar substance? And color them! I’m sure cost is an issue, so why not allow companies to sponsor them? That red-and-white one has a CocaCola logo. That purple one says, “FedEx.” That gray one… used to be an opossum. (Sorry.) The main benefactor, however, are the guys in the traffic helicopters who look down and see black ribbons with colorful polka dots, not unlike we see a sidewalk with splotches of pigmented gum. “This yellow spot brought to you by ‘JuicyFruit’.”

Well, here’s the obligatory first message! This is where I’m supposed to describe all the aspirations and ambitions of this new blog site. We will travel to marvelous places! We will dine among the rich and famous! We will live life together in joyous harmony, man and blog! We will… whatever. This is where you’ll find my latest ramblings.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be updating the template a bit, making the site look as pretty as I can. I’ll figure out how to remove the blog links that came with the template, because I really don’t care what Hilmar in the Netherlands writes about. Goats I think. And moss. I think I have it set up to where you have to log in to post comments — I’ll see how that goes. As long as you aren’t Hilmar.

Thanks for visiting, and drop me a note sometime.
