The first entry

This is the very first entry. This blog is nothing more than a semi random, stream of consciousness set of notes as ideas, rants, comments, or crazy opinions occur to me during the course of living this exciting life... or not.

Why put out all this stuff? Why not? There's a possibility that some of this might be useful to someone, somewhere. Who knows... It certainly will be useful to me to be able to rant about issues that outrage me, like the level of funding for public schools in California, for example. More on this later.

And it's raining, and I'm bored. The dog needs to be walked, but who wants to go out on a day like this? I wanted to write a note about the California Use Tax, but I could not even start without an initial entry in this blog. So there. Now I can write about something interesting.
