House Keeping

Were a blogging 10 Commandments to exist, surely deleting posts would make the list.  But I committed this very sin with respect to my 2nd and 3rd ever blog posts.  I figured I should note and explain this since posts can float around the internet after death.  I wish I could say they were deleted for an interesting reason, but in fact I changed my mind on what I should blog about.

Initially I thought I would focus on politics, particularly since there are elections fast approaching.  It didn't take long to realize the folly of this approach.  For one thing, I don't think politics mixes too well with the other things I have interest in.  People have strong opinions, divide themselves into camps, and become ill-tempered.  Plus, at times not much political is really going on.  I am knowledgeable about it, but that doesn't necessarily translate into good blogging.

I do like to make predictions, despite being at least temporarily retired from betting, and politics will figure into that some.  I still will make predictions with respect to the upcoming mid-terms, though probably less specifically than I was planning.

I'm in the process of adding links, which I'll have more to say on later.
