NEWS FLASH! GOOD OL' BOY TRAMPLES FREE SPEECH!

As anyone who knows me will affirm, on those admittedly rare occasions when I screw up, I am quick to acknowledge it. That is, if someone points it out to me. If not, then I am just like the rest of you, I will stumble along in blissful ignorance of my folly.

This task most of the time falls to my patient and long-suffering wife. In this case, however, it didn't, because she doesn't read blogs, least of all mine!

Turns out I messed up some settings on my "comment" section, and my diatribe on speech below was not showing the comments made. My apologies to those who read and took time to respond- I did not mean to censor your speech. I have made the corrections, and the posts should appear now. So to all of you, please feel free to kick me in the figurative butt. Whether we agree or not, I consider this great fun, and encourage everyone to make a comment- hello, yes, no, kiss my ass, whatever....

Thanks again for visiting!
