I'm a 'retired' Navy Chief and a senior at Thomas Edison State College where I'm completing my meteorology degree. I am the lead meteorological technician maintaining weather equipment at NAS Willow Grove. I'm of Scots-Irish-Welsh-Ukrainian-German and Cherokee heritage (what a mix that is). I consider myself to be morally conservative but socially progressive; meaning I care more about people than about money (which puts me at odds with Rush Limbaugh types). I enjoy writing and playing music. I am a supporter of Irish Republicanism, social democracy, wildlife conservation and ending human trafficking.
Basically, everyone; the serious and the not so serious. The poetic and unpoetic. Political progressives, Social activists, and environmentally concious people, writers, musicians, Parrotheads, and anyone else I haven't yet mentioned.
