About Bob

Hey there…I am an upper middle-aged man who lives in the Mid-West of the United States of America. I served my country honorably for four years in the military and also as a police officer for 13 1/2 years in a major city. I was injured in the line of duty, which resulted in me surviving a stroke, and was forced into a disability retirement from the police department I worked for.

I have been retired for over 20 years. During that time, I had the opportunity to travel all over the United States and a very small portion of Canada and Mexico. I also had the opportunity to meet so many people from so many different backgrounds and had some extremely informative and enlightening conversations with them.

In my years of life, I have seen way too many things that I wish I could forget. The human race can be extremely violent, harsh and cruel to one another. But then again, I also think that by seeing it, it has molded me into the man that I am.

Hence, my desire to start my own website. After some serious thought, I felt it was time to talk about the different things that are currently going on in this country, the world, and in life.

I am hoping that I can still be of help to people. It is my desire to discuss a wide range of subjects from life that make people relate and think. I am sure that some of what I discuss will cause some very extreme emotional responses. That can be a good thing.

I am no recognized “expert” in anything other than living life to the best of my ability. Much of what I talk about will be my observations based on what I have seen and been through on a personal level. Yes, there will be opinion injected from time to time. That is just to be expected.

However, I just hope that if it reaches just one person that may be going through a similar rough time, or maybe just brings back a good childhood memory for someone, than this quest of mine will be worth it.
