In The Works

This post is basically just a big FYI.

I’ve brought the West Virginia Outdoors sub title back to this blog and have purchased outdoorswestvirginia.com. The new site will be much like the old site. Basically just an ordinary website with tons of info about recreational activity in and around West Virginia. This blog will once again become an extension of the website. I haven’t started building it yet but it’s in the works.

Also in the works - a new blog dealing completely with the issue of mountaintop removal. I can see without question the topic of MTR could easily consume this blog (it is the nature of the beast - to consume). I don’t intend to totally stop posting here about MTR but I don’t want it to be the primary focus of this blog. There are so many good things about this state. Plus I’m sure this year is going to be quite the adventure.

The new blog will be 100% dedicated to education. You will not hear my opinions about *Walker Machinery on the new blog. What you will hear and see are stories and photos from people and places heavily impacted by MTR. If everything goes according to plan - you will literally hear their stories and see the devastation. The new blog will also have a link to all the separate organizations fighting to save Appalachia from all over the southeastern US. As a matter of fact, I’m going to put the same link list here. I’ll let you know the new blog address as soon as it’s up and running. Be sure to visit - it will definitely get interesting over there.

*I do have to make another post on this blog about Walker Machinery and the cartoon talking bug. I’m sorry - I just can’t help it. I kind of think it’s funny albeit just a tad bit ridiculous. I just can’t keep my mouth shut about it. It’s in draft - some of you will like it, some of you won’t. I promise, after that, I’ll let the silly commercials go and get on to more serious matters.

Adding to this post - how about I promise to try and let it go. I think honestly promising to let it go is beyond me at the moment. It’s just silly.

Also in the works - I’ve been approached to possibly be a contributing author to a book. That’s interesting. Especially since I take writing lightly. I’m more concerned with telling the story than I am in the writing of it. I had been told by friends I had a unique way of expressing my thoughts but that always went in one ear and out the other. At any rate - I’m going to stumble down this new path till I can see what I’m getting into. Who knows? Maybe I am a writer. Life’s kinda funny sometimes, interesting most of the time, and full of surprises seemingly all the time. We will see what happens.
