About my list of Links

Image
As with almost all blogs and personal websites, I have a list of my favorite links, now in its very early stages. Please do not take this to be an endorsement of all that is on any one of these links. I generally like each of them, but have some issues with some of them as well. Such is life among other humans.

I have been told that my username is a bit unusual, perhaps even mildly disgusting. I found that so many usernames had been taken so I decided to come up with one that no one else would want. Tada! Sheepsnot it is. Now, about this blog: Over time this will evolve into a collection of my thoughts as well as a verbal and pictorial history of my life as I remember it. No one remembers his childhood accurately. We all see what we want to see. Just bounce your memories off your parents and neighbors and see how the discrepancies start piling up. So, what you will read and see is just a version of the actual events of August 27th, 1960 through today.
