INTRODUCTION

I am a wastewater treatment operator, wastewater plant designer, process "expert" textbook author, and writer of articles on wastewater treatment.  I have 33 years experience and have decided to put my thoughts down here for others to read, if you want to.

I have lived and/or worked in Caledonia OH, Lewisburg OH, Ketteriing OH, Bloomington IN , San Antonio TX, Houston TX, Sarasota, FL, Fernandina Beach FL, Toledo OH, Battle Creek, MI, Zinzinnati, OH, Streetsboro OH. Ravenna OH, Akron OH, New Bedford MA, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Santiago Chile, Dundee, MI, Deerfield, MI, Carmel, IN and Kalamazoo, MI to name a few.  I can even sing the Kalamazoo song.

I like baseball, golf, girls' broomball and lacrosse. I played lacrosse in college.  I used to watch football but no longer do.  I like TV shows like Suits, Inspector Morse, Inspector Lewis, Arthur,  and stuff on the Discovery Channel and the History Channel that most of you consider extremely boring.  I read lots of books without pictures, and some with pictures.

I love my kids, but there is only one left.

I used to be a Republican but now I'm an anarchist.

I am an Orthodox Christian.  For those of you who don't know what that is, that means that I kiss pichurs and cross myself backwards. If that offends you, too bad.

I am going to blog about things that interest me, and try to teach some of you something as well.  I am preparing a series of articles that won't be so long that your eyes glaze over.  You will probably get mad at me for something I publish, maybe all of it.  I don't care.
