Why am I doing all this you ask. It's slowly dawning on me that blogging may be a good thing to do. I have had web sites for many years, and some have been really good while others were worse. But, none of them got the exposure that blogs get and had to be visited directly i.e. without linkages from as many people and ways as blogs. Another advantage to blogs is facilitating immediate comments from readers. So, I invite you all to visit and comment on what you find at: http://rmcessays.blogspot.com/

You will soon find a link from my blog to my web site which will have an audio blog and later videos too. It costs some money to audio blog with a blogging host, so I'll use my own web site as a host. http://www.rmcmedia.com/

Why am I doing all this you ask. OK, you really didn't ask but ... as they say lately, just because I can, and want to. Above this essay is a photo of trees being bent over by 40-60 mph gusts of wind during Frances' visit. It's not very exciting, but that's what I saw in my back yard. What you don't see is that the top branches are hitting a power line, and the tops of the trees have been burned. This is probably dangerous, and we're lucky our lights were not out more than 12 hours. With all the tall trees I have around our house, we were very fortunate to have no damage at all.
