First Day

Okay so after having followed a number of blogs and such I have decide to see if I like putting thoughts out in the wide word. My thoughts tend to quickly change directions so we will see if we keep at it. This blog may contain my views on politics to recipes to photography to whatever else crosses my mind as I sit in front of the computer.

I have also sent this to my dad as something he may want to do with the news articles that have been published locally on his conversion of an old Mazda truck to fully electric. Article was published in the Mooresville Tribune and Statesville Record and Landmark. I copied and pasted it on the family website that I maintain in my spare time. (http://www.weberclan.com).

So couple of things bouncing around today. Have someone trying to talk me into doing a small business cooking a few meals for them that they can then serve to their family during the week. It could be fun, just a question of time. My wife and I continue to work on improving our photography and picking up small jobs on the side. That combined with my normal job, bike riding, hiking and other activities makes for little spare time.

The other thing I have been bouncing around for a few years now is policitcs. I like the majority of the people I talk to are not happy with most of the people in office at any level. You have to wonder sometimes exactly where these people come from when you hear the ideas the are pushing. The thing is though that I feel if I am going to complain about how others are doing it, then I need to be willing to try and do it better myself. As with many things I have found over the years, there are 2 sides to it. Alot of the compormises that seem to go through may be the only way to get anything to move in the policial world where it is now more important to further your parties agenda then to represent the people who elected you. Anyways a few years back I started to look into running for the town board where I lived. About that time is also the time my wife and I decide to move, so the idea fell to the wayside.

Some of the other things running around in there is the desire I have had since high school (god over 20 years ago now) to write a book. I love reading books and will generally read 2~5 a month.

Like I said rambling thoughts. May have to rethink this whole idea. maybe just blog about cooking or photography as it may be to disjointed otherwise
