Going QRT here.

After much thought, we of the family budget committee have decided to pull the plug on the internet connection. Things are tight, and we can’t really justify paying $35 a month on a second-tier entertainment source when we’re having a hard time buying groceries.
I’ll be sending out alternate contact information to those of you who communicate with me regularly. If you don’t get anything, please don’t be upset. I don’t mean to slight anyone, I’m sure you were just overlooked. If you want to make sure you aren’t, drop me an email and I’ll let you know how to get ahold of me.
My gmail account will still be active, so everyone can still send me messages. I’ll only be checking it about once a week now, however. Certain stuff will be filtered to my phone, but not much.
In a few weeks, I’ll have a packet-based email thing setup so I can at least do that much and stay in touch with everybody. Just remember not to send photos or dirty words. Dave would like to keep his ticket.
It’s been a fun time here. Five or so years ago, I started out with “The Lair of Confusion” over on blogspot. I changed that to “Ramblings of a Bearded HIllbilly” when someone accused me of being an overweight, self-righteous Dungeon Master wanna-be.
I soon smarted up, and after getting my first job and a bank account (complete with plastic money) I signed up with godaddy. I purchased my name (which I have no plans to relinquish) and setup a Moveable Type blog. I think it was still ROABH.
I changed that to my long-running blog, “The Hometown Conservative.” That was when I lived uptown and over in Atlantic. Those were fun times; remember the old Wal-Mart stories? The lesbian with no toenails. The gassy taxidermist. The retarded guy buing a shotgun. All the TLE horror stories. Ah, good times.
Then I moved on to the sorta-green theme. “The Last Link.” It started as a quasi-survivalist blog with a ham radio backbone. What would YOU do if the phones didn’t work? Exactly. Then I brought back THC, and ran both. One for radio, one for politics.
That didn’t last long, and I merged the two back together. That brings us to today! I have no plans for taking the blog down, so feel free to peruse the archives if you’d like. It’s all here for your enjoyment. Some stuff is in sub directories that aren’t linked to; most of the old Wal-Mart stuff is there. Someday I may shove it all here for some prospective employer to read and decide not to hire me on.
So long for now folks, it’s been fun!
