You have one of the few surviving “journals” as everyone else has moved into political commentary. Consistency does count and it is hard to do,

I was of the same mind, Steve, and spent some time back-tracking the graphic to see if there was a better original without the connotation, but apparently it is designed to look like the rating sticker on computer games which are all tilted.

Sort of like the fiber that is in the ground about 75 feet away but isn’t available until “sometime in the future” or “real soon now”, depending on who you talk to at the telco. This new Mitsubishi satellite may turn up the heat on them, Jack.

…why, yes, I am Grumpy, but thanks for stopping by; I really appreciate it. Never fear, though; high-speed should be coming any year now…

As I told ellroon, who named my blog, the award looks a lot like the Enron “E” to me. I don’t think a Texan would be well advised to post it on his blog…

Eclectic is more descriptive, abusing the term to mean whatever is annoying me at the moment, because I rarely have the time to do the longer pieces I would prefer. Like a lot of people, blogging is therapeutic as I have anger issues that are better dealt with on a keyboard.

My attitude about memes is to avoid them when possible, not to expect others to respond, and play with them if I find them of interest.

In this case it was a way of expressing my appreciation to some of the people I like that others may not know about. I really do read most of my blogroll. I tried to avoid people who had already been tagged, like Steve Bates, Hipparchia, Map, et al., and am not sure about the rules because Scorpio may count as one to three choices.

Thank you, Bryan! It always surprises me when people like the things I write. Yesterday was anniversary number 4. Yes, I started because the political climate was making me crazy. Its job may almost be complete.

I hope that you continue with your own excellent reporting and discussion.

Congrats!

I’ve spent more time here than any other blog the past month (mostly because I simply haven’t had the time nor inclination to be everywhere).

To paraphrase the great Gump… ‘Excellent is as excellent does!’ LOL

Enjoy it while it lasts.

Cheers!
