This is my first post on this site, so I’ll keep this first round brief.  I’ve been writing for a year and a half, and was directed here to blog.  My goal is to grow as a writer, and maybe help a few other people do the same.  I like to talk about anything and everything, and would invite people to challenge me to a discussion on any topic.

I’m a tea party member, hoping the man who replaces him in 2012 is a staunch conservative ready to make some tough choices.  I’ve travelled through eight foreign countries, most of the fifty states.  I’ve been a firefighter for 13 years, did eight years in the Navy Seabees, and possess a bachelor degree from Ball State University. 

Blah, Blah, Blah.  Hit me up if you want to debate anything.  My first topic is this.  A few months back we came across a woman trying to return a dead racoon she’d found on the road to a pet store.  The police declared her mentally unstable.  After talking to her, she revealed times were tough, and she was out looking for a job that day. 

I thought she was more normal than some of the people I’ve worked with.  Not everyone is an expert when it comes to dead animals.  You decide.
