I am a
carbon-based life-form on the
North American landmass. I do not argue with
dragons, for I know that I am crunchy and taste good with
ketchup. :)
Seriously, though, I live in
Rancho Palos Verdes,
California, and work both as a freelance writer for the local paper every so often (the
Palos Verdes Peninsula News) as well as as a computer tech at a
dot-com firm in
Los Angeles. In my off hours, I like nothing better than to curl up with a good book. I usually have at least three going at once, and juggle between them. (I try not to go too high in number though, or the different books get jumbled -- once, for three days, I was convinced that
Athos,
Porthos and
Aramis had fought
Hitler! :P )
As the boxes say below, I have an interest in
Old Englishhistory, but in general, I'm interested in most historical areas. It's just the times of
Caesar and
Alfred the Great that I've gravitated to more than any other.
I've been hit by a vandal recently. This is all I have to say about it: "Never give in — never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense." --
Winston Churchill
and
"You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life." --attributed to
Winston Churchill.
Sugarloaf Mountain is a peak situated in
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on a peninsula at the mouth of
Guanabara Bay. Rising 396 m (1,299 ft) above the harbor, the peak is named for its resemblance to the traditional shape of concentrated refined
sugarloaf. The mountain is one of several
monolithic granite and quartz mountains that rise straight from the water's edge in the area, and is geologically part of a family of steep-sided rock outcroppings known as
bornhardts. Sugarloaf Mountain also features the
Sugarloaf Cable Car and is popular with tourists for its panoramic views of the city and beyond. This photograph shows Sugarloaf Mountain at sunrise viewed from
Tijuca National Park, with the Rio neighborhood of
Botafogo in the foreground.Photograph credit: Donatas Dabravolskas

dumbass, but is resigned to the necessity of at least understanding it in an environment of massive collaboration.
