First!

OK, first post and I have a few things to take care of background-wise.

1. The opinions expressed on this blog are my own opinions and have no reflection on the work I do professionally, particularly in the energy industry. I will make every effort to avoid commenting on issues that I have specific ties to. Enough is written about the individual projects that I work on (and I'm doing this for my own entertainment...and hopefully yours. If you want to read about what I do from 9-5, I'll point you in that direction).

2. This is going to be mainly about: Minnesota politics, some national politics, some energy stuff, and whatever else I feel like writing about. Including sports (when the mood strikes), biking, hiking, camping and stuff that I do to occupy my time.

3. If you have any suggestions, comments, critiques, criticisms or other things of that nature, please let me know.

4. How 'bout that weather, eh?
