Welcome to the Neighborhood

If you were wondering what this blog is going to be about, the title says it all: "Bits & Pieces"... It's not just a reference to the severed limb imagery that's permanently scarred into my brain; it's to inform you, the reader, that there's no general direction here...just ramblings. The title also helps keep me in check and will prevent me from writing two page blog entries where I start on a specific topic but then stray off into a million different tangents. So hopefully things will be relatively short and simple. No one really gives a shit about what I say anyway, so I guess this works out nicely...not a whole lot of effort on my part.
