    I started my learning at the local community college last week, and it has been proving to be a real time sucker it was rumored. I am still active in my interests, of course, but probably will not have as much time as I was so accustomed to earlier to work on such interests. That said, I'm sure you are all in fair understanding that updates may slow on this website, and yes, I know they weren't really fast-paced to begin with. I hope to write some more in my free time and see about expanding the articles I have so far and work on gathering more material to publish.

Cheers,
Joshua

Connecting the Dots

    Now, when you start to see how things change over history... you start to get an understanding of how the world sort of works. You have money, people spend it and things are built. The opposite happens in depression. Connecting the dots is a term I use here referring to going out to a spot and trying to imagine what was there beforehand. Like when you see what appears to be an extended Right of Way, you try to imagine the area with a second track. Sometimes you are wrong, it was always single tracked, but in a lot of cases - I am right.
    Not to sound like I'm cocky, but you tend to get pretty good at guessing. Now it's obvious if you just think for a minute as to what you know about an area. Yes, it helps to know half of the story coming in too! Overall, the whole connecting the dots is what I tend to do here at K3. Now, I mean myself as I am the only one who actually does web editing, but in all honesty I'm not alone. My friends assist me on the website in many ways, so we all work together to piece things together. It's a fun pastime, and there isn't a soul I've met that has said differently. In fact, you get to meet some very nice and cool people as you go along. That's why I always tell you, contact me if you have anything to say. I love hearing from people. I encourage you to share your stories or thoughts on our Contact Us page whenever you feel like it.
    So I hope you enjoy looking around, and thanks for reading. I'm afraid this is all I have time to share with you. Check back sometime later for another post.
