To my new blog.

Like the backporch blog, it will have some desert content along with lots of photography, especially seascapes, my new interest. Politics may rear its head as well.

The first thing I noticed was just how insecure my room was with the deadbolt not making contact with the door frame which basically had been rubbed away from years of use.
