that the drug problem here in America is the only thing that is teaching our children and citizens about the metric system.

Happy New Year, I guess

I should really try to write more. One of the reasons I wanted to do the blog was so that I could remember when I did things, and when they happened, or what I was thinking about during the day, etc.
