Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender
Oh, the joys of site administration … 🙂
“Requested mail action aborted, mailbox not found“
I really shouldn’t complain about fake email addresses ’cause I do it myself sometimes.
However – just to let you know – sometimes I’d like to ask some of the readers here if I have permission to turn some of their comments into posts. I’d prefer not to do that in open forum; I make such requests through the site email service.
In any case, if this did turn into a subscription site (to block hackers and trolls) like Gerard implemented in the later days of American Digest, a legit email address would be necessary for confirmation – especially if a subscription fee became necessary.
Your choice though – but this is supposed to be a community site.
Comments, please.

Re: Some earlier comments on an earlier post.
I don’t know who’s wrong or right and won’t take sides other than ghostsniper is a regular. I’m not sure who Clementine is but he/she/it is also welcome here.
Point being, I really don’t want this site to turn into a platform for pissing matches.
I have a hard enough time being “nice” myself.
I get enough nastiness reading the news and this site is intended to help me – and all of you – maybe escape all that.

The People
Of course, most revolutionists do not … really … want change. They simply want to sit in the driver’s seat.
But does he not claim to be acting for the people?
The people is an abstraction. It is one of those general terms that has no meaning in fact. For “the people” is in reality many peoples, with many interests, many possibilities. It is always interesting to me that none of these persons who claim to act for the people have ever consulted the people themselves.

Re-Post For ghostsniper
Besides, I like this photo.
My wife pretends she likes woodworking – and she’s not bad at it when she does it. We have an RV garage that now does service as a shop … full of tools; no lathe though. Trouble is, she doesn’t do much with it so its purpose has become more tool storage than tool use. She’s going to retire come summer; maybe she’ll get back into it when the boredom of retirement sets in …
Myself? I enjoy the idea of woodworking – took woodworking in shop class in high school … but I can’t pound a nail straight even with an airgun. My little kid brother now … he does high-end finish carpentry – high-end as in huge size and dollar mansions – and I’m amazed the quality work he turns out.
Anyway, there was a period when I was working in Virginia and she came out to visit. There was a wood-working show going on in Richmond. Being as Richmond wasn’t far, we went. I had a chance to get up close to this guy giving a demo on either the tools or the lathe – I don’t recall which – and took the opportunity to get this photo. Sometimes I make a mistake and get a good image.
When I posted the photo earlier as one of my “experiments” while setting up this site, ghostsniper posted a comment on his work. I took those posts down for various reasons but here’s this photo again – just for you ghost.
Now, no good comment goes unpunished – send me an article on your thoughts of woodworking via email for posting … 🙂
Sometimes I Still Feel Like A Rowdy 20 Year Old
… and it’s Saturday.
I could feel like heading into a hard-rock bar with $1 cover, cheap beer, and girls feeling the same way.
Then realize my body – and mind – couldn’t handle it anymore.
Nor could I probably handle being around 20yos that like $1 cover bars with cheap beer.
Or 20yo girls that feel the same way.
Sigh … but I still sometimes enjoy the music.
In my day and place at the time, that like as not often meant Ted Nugent practicing feedback.
