Earliest Childhood Memory
My earliest childhood memory. I’m not sure why I was wondering about this, but here it is!
I believe I was 2 or 3 years old when I was riding in my aunt’s car with both of her kids, my cousins, and my grandmother. We were going through the Salt River Canyon in Arizona at night, during a rainstorm, when there was a boulder in the road that caused my aunt to swerve and the car ended up on the road, upside down.
I remember this because I wasn’t in a car seat, in all honesty, I’m not sure anybody used them back then, but I wasn’t even buckled in. I was actually riding in the front seat on my grandmother’s lap.
Only my older cousin with us at the time had any injuries that I’m aware of. She got some glass in her face from a broken window. I remember us crawling out of the car through the back broken window and waiting with a good samaritan while waiting for emergency services to arrive.
That’s about all I remember. I know from the stories about it later that we were very lucky we didn’t go over the cliff on the right side of the road vs staying in the road as we would have all been killed. The other thing that was very fortunate was that no large semi trucks were coming down from the opposite direction at this time, as they would have easily hit us when they got to this blind corner.
Life is Busy
Sorry folks!
I just wanted to do a quick post to apologize for what seems like an unfinished series of posts about hosting and blogging. You would be correct. I just have been a little busier in real life where I haven’t been able to write the documents I’ve really been wanting to.
I am really going to try to get some more written this week. Stay tuned!

A New Beginning
Hello!
Welcome to my new ”blog” or whatever you want to call something like this. I’ve been experimenting with some new static content generators because I’m kind of tired of maintaining a WordPress blog for what seems like things that don’t need that kind of overhead. A costly (possibly) hosting plan, SQL database, plugins, themes, and updates that seem to be constantly required and maintained.
It’s not that I can’t do these things, but they are easy to forget and not get taken care of promptly, and before you know it your site is 15 versions out of date and you don’t know the ramifications of doing the updates and if it could break everything…so you don’t and just keep putting it off.
So with that, all said, I’ve been looking into the various static content generators that are out there that can make something like a website or blog easier to build, maintain, and fairly automatic. I’ll go through these steps as I’m learning this as well and will try to post steps on how all this can work.
I am experimenting with a system called Hexo and that’s what this particular website is being generated with. Sound exciting? More to come!
