Hello All! Finally, an intro.. I try not to be "_your average old white guy_", but I don't always succeed. I am learning to be better. _A warning_: **I'm snarky** (irreverent, sarcastic) We have cats, or course, to meet the internet requirements. I will probably be sharing pictures in the future. I am in to: #tech #programming #SciFi #music #BeingLazy #hiking #movies #books #outdoors I believe in #gravity, but would it matter if I didn't? I would still fall down. I believe that #GlobalWarming is an existential threat to all of us and to much of the life on earth. It will change life on the planet substantially. The tardigrades will be fine. I enjoy #science and #nature. I believe in #HumanRights, #SocialJustice, #WomensRights, #privacy. Wow. That doesn't leave much for anyone to figure out about me. So the adventure begins..
