A Message From Dale:

Thanks for dropping by.

First, be sure to check out my web log (or, blog, as the cool people call it). It's called Q and Oand you can get to it by clicking here!

Q and O is updated regularly, with links to comment, news, and other items of interest, all of which is interspersed with my own commentary. These are very interesting times, and so much is going on that it's hard to write essays about everything. Q and O allows me to keep up with the pace of events. By doing it in blog format , I can present commentary on politics, current affairs, economics, libertarian policy, foreign affairs, and all sorts of other stuff I know very little about, in a timely manner. I try to post every day, but sometimes my schedule prevents it.

If you want to look around, you can navigate through the site by using the Nav Bar to the left.  The links are as follows:

The Home Page link returns you to this page.

The Writings link takes you to an index page with links to several articles I've written. All of the articles have links to a Word document containing the article, so if you see anything you like you can have it in Microsoft Word format. Just right-click on the Word icon, and select the "Save Target As" item from the shortcut menu. This will save the Word document to your hard drive.

The Sound Bites link takes you to the index page of sound bites from my radio days.

The Pictures link takes you to the index page of photographs that I've taken in my travels in the US and Europe.

The Resume link takes you to my Resume. As with the articles, a Word format version is available, and is far more detailed.

The Awards link takes you to the list of awards this web site has won.
