Why this blog?

• Because it is fun and could be of interest.

Philosophy/mission statement: careful wording, courtesy, accuracy, learning, public speaking and communication skills.

Readership enjoyment.

• Why am I blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• As a learning tool
• For training/educational posts on communication
• For sharing the wonders of weather and climate, and maybe poetry
