Well, welcome, I guess. This is my, uh, hmm, Wiki residence??? A place the governance of Wikipedia encourages a living, human, contributor to their resourceful web world of answers, digitized endless data, fascinating enlightenment you can get absorbed in for hours on end! Especially the stuff you stumble across in this vast ever expanding digital data galaxy, this World Wide Web of whatzit's, wonder, and more, "You don't say, I never knew that, and instances of, Wow, now way!" Moments of discovery I will forever run across in six hours feeding my voracious, endless, curiosity addition! Snooping around in this infinite mental delirium of wisdom, thoughts, opinions, things, places, people, stuff, I never would encounter in six years of stumbling through life bumping into by chance those moments of shock, awe, profound moments of riveting pause that you find in digitized repositories just a mouse click, or word search away! I am not being dramatic either. I am what I call a digital dinosaur.

I was born in 1959 in Roanoke Virginia https://www.bing.com/travelguide?q=Roanoke&l2sid=18f581db-426d-48fb-a0c0-6675d0c5d5d8&form=PLACAB. A genuine toe tapping, hill hopping, hillbilly holler hound with the Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah Valley, and hills and mountains of West Virginia right out the back door and the endless playground of my youth and a disastrous threat to formal structured education. Having to endure a endless daily regimen being properly, formerly, educated with books, rules, requirements, and tedious book cracking, mind numbing endless searches through text books the teacher, insisted you spend an eternity reading, looking through for hours, and providing a thousand of your own grammatically correct, properly spelled, punctuated, handwritten words. A mandatory endless agonizing bi-weekly demonstration of ones level of comprehension, understanding, organizational skill, and mental retention. Six weeks into his first year of elementary school, one fall Friday, my carbon copy twin busts through the back door and yells out to mom that he was done with school, he did not have to go back, he could print out his name! And for the umpteenth time mom and her father, our Grandpa, are busting in the kitchen not to see why my nemesis was causing such a ruckus. But to end round 1 of another sibling beat down as his done with school announcement violated the un-breakable rule of fairness! My teacher said I had years of school to endure and his escape from educational hell after six weeks cause he could print, J  OH n, on a piece of paper the same as I learned to print, ROGeR, made me mad! He had once again upended the playing field, and I had to level it out! Landing the both of us in another hour long class of home schooled anger management and attitude adjustment. Now I must pause from this riveting essay as Sophie our Pocket Beagle, what's got no pockets! Is passed her asking nicely, now demanding her mid-day Wabbit inventory and location verification assessment of the back 40 and backwoods baseline. So I hope this work in progress will pass muster with the wizards at Wikipedia. This vernacular entirely of my own life experience's and recall has met the requirement of attaching a human being to my Wiki residence address here. In doing so I have not managed to create a violation of some kind. Necessitating an embarrassing visit from the Code Enforcement department! As I find myself still learning at 60 now!
