Me

The picture ain't so hot, but here I am.



My hobby is rocks. I collect mineral specimens, especially micro-minerals. I also cut gemstones, both faceted and cabochon. The link to the Rock page is above.

I also like to support some charities, and the following link is to a page which supplies free mammograms for the needy, so click on the link, and hit the donate button.
Donate free mammograms Hint: drag the browser logo from that site to your desktop to create a shortcut so you can visit every day.

I got fed up with advertisements filling my screen while trying to see the local weather forecast as provided by weather.com (a site operated by the Weather Channel). A search turned up the government site which contains no stinking advertisements, no flashing banners, and a joy to run through.
Try it, click on your area on the map, select your county, then bookmark it.

Finding long lost Air Force buddies is becoming easier. This site has a good start on a large database, so if you are Air Force, active or retired, pop in, get listed, and search.

While we are on the Military subject, during my career in the USAF I was involved with Ejection Seats, and Escape Systems. I'm delighted to add this link so that all who know me might see what I was working on for so long.

When you receive an email with news which is distressing, or relates a new virus is taking over the world, that also includes a plea to send the message to everyone that you know, please check out those stories before wasting bandwidth by forwarding. There are two links in the box above that will show you the hoaxes. Or you can go to my favorite: Snopes.com

There is another page that will debunk some of the email that you receive. If in doubt of the validity of a story that you get in email, you might want to check out the pages of Symantec.com link: Symantec.com
