Sticking my toe in the water

I have not the foggiest if anyone will read this, other than me, but I had the title and the basic premise, and thought, well here I go: A  Los Angeles raised Valley kid, living in the shadow of D-Land for the last 30 years.  I have done battle (unintentioned when it began) in print with persons as far flung as the (now former) Seattle City Attorney. I do write a nifty letter. My "letters to the editor" of the local paper often find their way to print, which I think is a hoot. I imagine they irritate more often than they cause a raised coffee cup, and a "you go" from the readers.  Occasionally they provoke a response, which, I guess, gives them the last word...which I would prefer to have for myself, ~neener neener~ . That is, perhaps, why I am trying out this blogging thing.  That, and exercising that ancient English degree for other than the most charming and literate of business letters.  Opinions I have many, and the cat doesn't really give a hoot. 0 : )
