Another day, another blather.

Before getting into The Real World, I guess I should talk a little more about this one. I have never been a long term joiner of groups until this one. I have belonged to a couple of astronomy clubs, a Civil War round table, and a high power rifle shooting team and club. This group (2o2p) and my clan (2o2pwn) have captured my interest like no others. When you see the diverse group of people involved, it is incredible. I suppose part of the attraction is getting to know viewpoints from so many parts of the U.S. and Canada. Although there are people from other parts of the world too, I do not really come into contact with them because of the time differences but I hope that in the future, I can include them in my active contacts.

There are things that are uncomfortable about belonging but those are more the result of my own limitations and upbringing. The swearing and use of the F word, especially by the females, I sometimes find to be more than I prefer. It is not that I do not know and sometimes use them (I did spend three years in the Army and worked in plant when I was young), it is just that my own need to control myself with my kids (in their youth) has made me more sensitive to the casual use of words that, for me, should be reserved for intense moments and in limited surroundings.

Please understand that I am NOT asking that people modify their speech, only that I will probably never use it to the extent of the younger generation (strange to say on a forum for older folks!).

I suppose that this is enough rambling for this post, so until later (or never), FRAG ON!
