.....it's just that I've wiped away a lot of my previous posts because I think I'm going to be using this blog for an entirely different purpose soon.
I will say that I am deeply impressed with the changes that have been made to Blogger, and the range of modifications that can be made to a blog. The fact that I could choose a photograph of flames as a backdrop amuses me endlessly. It really does feel like I could be on fire. Some days, anyway.

Why the Title?
Several years ago, a good friend of mine suggested that no matter how bad things seemed, they could always be worse. After all, "...you could be on fire." Framed in such a manner, it's possible to see how any bad thing could be worse. Unless, of course, you're really on fire.
The internet is full of folks ranting about various subjects, and I certainly do my share of it in real life. I seem to have the same arguments/ranty discussions with the same groups of people and that doesn't really accomplish anything. I'm either talking with people who think like me or talking to people who are in utter disagreement with what I have to say, and either way I'm not making much headway.
I fall outside a lot of categorical "norms." I'm married, but I have no children. I'm liberal, but I don't drink the Kool-Aid and I don't care to listen to every political speech by every politician I'm supporting. I am often politically incorrect, but not within earshot of anyone who could possibly be offended. I've never understood the appeal of NASCAR, golf, or Cheez Whiz, yet I like movies with big explosions. I don't think people can be categorized neatly which is what I think makes life interesting. Hopefully this blog will be somewhat interesting too.
