Share The Road

"Share the Road?" Sure thing, buddy, just as soon as cyclists start following the same traffic rules as cars, and get pulled over by police and ticketed for failing to observe them.

And even then, let's be real: something small and flimsy and unprotected that is only going a few MPH just cannot, cannot, cannot safely coexist with huge sturdy metal things that are going 30-60 MPH or faster. It cannot happen. It cannot work. No matter how much we all want it to. It's asking for accidents.

Statement of Purpose

When I was a kid I lived in a very old farmhouse that had in its bathroom a slot to drop used razor blades into. "But where do they go?" I wondered.

I went down to the basement and found a hidden room, walled up. I found a small hole in the wall and with some work, I managed to gouge it much bigger, enough to shine a flashlight into and peer in. It contained, as you might expect, a mountain of rusty razor blades.

That's pretty much how I see this blog.

I take photographs all day, every day, 24-7. Most end up unseen and unused. This blog will be my slot in the wall, into which I drop some of them and then forget about them.
