This is my attempt at putting together thoughts.
My bio: I have retired with plenty of time on my hands. I put over 20 years in the Fire service as of volunteer firefighter. I did security work, and some landscape work. My hobbies are birdwatching hiking, and I like to do a little photography. I am also a little interested in Earth science.
