Introduction	Greetings. I am a sixty-something male from Bakersfield California, I work in a knowledge factory and have a Masters in Public Administration. I am a union member and official. I was a member of the Foolkiller cooperative in Kansas City Missouri. My interests are history, politics, good government, cycling, yoga, and a myriad of other subjects. Why should you read this blog? In time of sound bites and ideologies that fit onto bumper stickers, stories are important. I am a mythologos, a teller of fables.
