Blogging seems to be all the rage, so what the heck? I'll follow the lemmings over the cliff too! It probably won't get me elected President, but maybe some interesting discussions will come out of it... Beware, however: I speak my mind here, and I'm pretty frank and open. Some may be offended at the content and/or opinions. If you're easily offended, you might want to look elsewhere for reading material.

When/If you post a comment (and I hope you will!), be sure to put in a URL --- even if you just use mine (http://alan.batie.org/) --- if you don't, your email address will get put in as a link on your name, and you'll suddenly find yourself on Spam Central. Not my doing, I promise you! They scan websites for embedded email addresses. You've been warned --- I really don't wish spam on anyone (well, ok, maybe the spammers themselves)!

Finally, if you want to be notified when I post the this blog, signup on the lemmings mailing list.

Arlington revenue collectors

Actually, it was a Gilliam County Sheriff. Don't they go to bed? Grrr. 82 in a 65 at 12:30am. Oh well, I've been driving past Arlington for 25 years now, so I suppose it's about time. Never had an accident in those 25 years (ever really, barring a couple very minor incidents), but then speeding tickets aren't really about safety: it's revenue generation, except for the few who like to think it's about safety, but there it's really an elitist "I know better than you do" view. It's amazing how a country founded on the notion of Freedom has perverted it into "Freedom for the few to tell everyone else what they can do". Our founding fathers must be rolling in their graves.
