Less ouches.

The weekend is over so the garage sale is over.  I'm still typing up a storm, and unlike Fran I can spell, so I'm still sore.

I've been kicking around a few ideas for different posts, for my more serious one I prefer to think a little about them before I start banging away on the keyboard.  Some of the ideas require research; it's very sad that sometimes I thought I knew something and tried to clarify it before I started writing and found out that I was wrong.

I've seen professional writers and journalists write something that I know is false and it does color the rest of my opinion of what they're writing.  As a case in point, a journalists wrote a piece about gun control and her belief that if guns weren't allowed then children couldn't be killed in school.  She actually said that Sandy Hook was the worst mass murder in a school because of guns.  Not quite, the Bath disaster (1927) killed more people and he didn't use guns; explosives were his thing.  That statement was in the first paragraph, if she had that bad of a mistake in the very beginning then what other mistakes does she have? 

I don't want to write badly, nor do I want to look the fool when I try to state facts.  Hence me double checking what I think I know instead of just banging away.
