Opinions Galore: Beginning a New Dixon Patch Blog

Introducing an opinionated blog covering politics, rip-offs, and a host of other subjects.

After I stopped writing Dixon Patch historical articles and stopped photographing Gallery photo-essays at the end of last year, I decided to step back into involvement by starting a blog.

As my wife (and also my bicycle-riding friend) could tell you, I'm chock-full of opinions and am not shy about expressing them. What you'll find on future blogs will be opinions on topics ranging from the personal, to the local, and beyond to the state and national/international levels. 

During my 68 years on planet Earth I've seen and experienced a lot. I think that at my age it's only natural to be more opinionated .... Kind of like Andy Rooney was on 60 Minutes.

As far as categories go, you could probably call me a fiscally conservative liberal who has almost always voted Democratic. However, during this election year I find myself agreeing with Republican Ron Paul on some issues (and not only because we share the same last name).

I'm also into consumerism and exposing rip-offs.

I hope you enjoy the blog, and I hope some of the entries will create some spirited discussion and disagreements. I won't mind agreements as well!
