A Brief Bio

Since I am going to do so blogging from this site, I should give a brief bio of myself.

I was born in Denver Colorado prior to Dec 7, Pearl Harbor. I lived in the same home until I graduated from high school in 1960.

After high school I went to work for the builder of the Titan I missile manufactured near Denver.

I was drafted into the army in 1964 and spent fifteen months in Germany near Nuremburg and Darmstadt. When returning to Denver I served two more years in the Army reserve with a unit located in The Rocky Mountain Arsenal near Denver.

I returned to the manufacturer of the Titan missile systems and worked there for an additional year and then was a victim of a layoff and my aerospace career was over

At that time I went to work for a distributor of RCA. The main products were TV's and VCR's. I worked in various management capacities until 1987 when at that time thirteen distribution warehouses were closed across the nation.

For a period of about four years I worked in various part time positions and was unable to find full time work because unemployment at that time was around seven percent. Also, most of my skills were learned on the job and my marketable skills were narrow. In addition to the above I was in my middle forties and there is age discrimination out there even it is suppose to be against the law.

I finally obtained a full time job in a manufacturing atmosphere and learned to use a laser system for micro machining of substances used in the electronics manufacturing industry.

Iworked there until 2006 and decided to retire and try new and different challenges that I did not have the time to attempt and could not afford to try these dreams

Since that time I have been trying different endeavors. I first started to blog at a site called YourHub.com. This was a site sponsored by The Rocky Mountain News and I really enjoyed the format they had. However, a good thing does not last for ever. The Rocky Mountain News went out of business and The Denver Post took over YourHub.com. It took them about a year to change it so that it was not a good fit for me.

I then started a blog at Associated Content. This was a Denver .com and after a period of time Yahoo.com purchased Associated Content. After that I just lost interest in blogging for this structure.

Somehow I stumbled across Wordpress.com and started blogging there. I still occasionally blog on this site attempting to expose internet scams since I get many emails that sounds suspicious and you know they are just trying to get some personal information from you.

During that time frame I also found Blurb.com and have published around five books covering travels, blogging, and photos.

This site will be used for other subjects. I was raised in a Democrat environment and was a registered Democrat many years of my life. I then became unaffiliated because I lost interest in politics and I did not agree much with the policies of the Democrat Party. During the 2000 presidential campaign I came to the realization how the main stream media is biased to the liberal or progressive agenda. I suddenly realized that my thoughts and ideology lean to the conservative side of the spectrum. For close to twenty years I was in a management position and had to deal with the profit and loss of an active arm of a corporation. This experience help mold my conservative leanings and help me realize that many factors such as government intrusion make it difficult for a business to be viable and profitable.

The topics on this blog will more than likely be my opinions on current events and politics.

I don't how long it will be blogging on this site. I noticed that the older I get the shorter the time frame becomes before I lose interest in things.

In conclusion, time will tell how long I enter new blogs to this site.
