R-E-W-I-N-D

In one of my favorite kid shows, Ghostwriter, at the beginning of an episode in the middle of a new case the narrator would start by saying "let's rewind," and look at the facts.

I started the blog to add my commentary on social innovations going on but as you can tell, I didn't get that far. So let's rewind and start over. I could easily delete the previous posts but I figure I might as well keep them.

I'll spare you the details of my past but rather start at this point right now about why I am writing. I'm not a fan of personal blogs. There has only been one that I have found to be well written and not just rants about the days happenings.

So there has to be a purpose. Purpose....kind of like a Princeton in Avenue Q type purpose but not.

I'm not searching for MY purpose, that's kind of futile. The purpose of this blog is to document all the things that are trending both in everywhere outside of here and my one little piece of the Earth. There will be many common topics such as maps, cities, and the latest in programs and initiatives to make our cities great places to live. There will also be an aggregation of all things transportation especially locomotives. These are things that are near and dear to my heart and hopefully in putting them together in one place will help others share in the joys of REAL mechanics in our society.

As always comments, suggestions, advice welcome!
