I am a "dirty rat" and other matters

Well, I have once again evolved in the Blogosphere Ecosystem. Yesterday, I was a lowly owl hunting for field mice, and in a twist of fate, today, I am a wharf rat dodging owls.

There might be some among my regular readers who have noticed the change to my tagline. I had an epiphany that such was probably a more truthful statement than my previous tagline given the trend my blogging efforts have taken.

As always, I enjoy being a part of the Blogosphere Ecosystem because NZB does a great job with that operation, and the system displays those blogs that have linked to yours.* I found that The American Mind, a very fine blog, had linked** to a story of mine. I have blogrolled this exceptional blog.

On The American Mind, there is a story that should be very alarming to those of you in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area, and appalling to those of you who are not.

The home where a state agency placed sexual predator Billy Lee Morford this week stands less than 100 feet from a shelter licensed by the same state agency to house children who have been sexually abused or battered.

*I sometimes get linkage information from the trackbacks also, but I am still not up to speed on why I seem to send trackback information to MT bloggers but to no one else. I could understand that blog*spot users have no trackback capabilities, but what do I do to trackback to those others?

**I am suspecting that The American Mind found my link on a comment to this post on Jay Solo, which would go to show that what I said in that comment has some validity.

TrackBack started out as an MT innovation; it's an open standard - anyone writing blog software can incorporate TB - but it hasn't quite become ubiquitous yet.
