Rabbit Hole(s)

I have been working up to this and now the "time has come, the Walrus said, to speak of many things."  There actually was a time when I was a tad younger that Alice and I were kindred spirits.  In fact, one of my early Toastmaster's talks used many references to "Wonderland."  But that was in a "land far, far away" and a "time long, long ago."

I have decided to blog over the next unknown time frame about my "adventures" since beginning my job in Superman's home town.  There are two parts to this tale - the part related to work and the part related to living in this area.  I hope I can segment the tales in a logical way.  Suffice to say, staying this close to Kentucky can certainly begin to wear on one's mental state (but only if you haven't seen the Caterpillar lately).

The tale's are appropriate - no television, no cell phone coverage, and limited access to the Internet.  How is that for a set up?  Work isn't much better - with one interesting twist.  I am totally BUSY all the time!  That is a new one for me.

Making new friends on a continuous basis - from the environmental folks at the state to the Russian in the plant (yes - she has a PhD in physics and has been here for at least five years).  There are unknown forces in play as well - corporate folks (too many to mention at this juncture), lawyers, and the plant people (including the "whistle blower" who still comes in every day and has access to information within the company - amazing).

But I hope not to get ahead of myself.  Logic (such as it is here "Beyond the Looking Glass") is sometimes in very short supply.  People are very friendly, if not plant like (such as in the Day of the Triffids - one of the few Sci/Fi books I know my dad read), or perhaps more akin to the Stepford Wives. 

Just too much to really think about right now.  But believe me, I intend to unfold the tale(s) in as orderly a fashion as I can (before the influence of this votex takes complete hold of my mental facalties).  That said, I shall ...
