OK so I'll admit it, I didn't get very far with my idea of this site being a media hub. It was a good idea, but I never quite got the time and the motivation in one place (two coins to click together) to really make it happen.
But another thing has happened: because of the pandemic, we have been spending more time at home in Sixteen Springs. And because I have come to see them (our canyon, and Cloudcroft) as two different places, I have renamed my original journal for the Springs and am deciding to make this one a place to rant at the village about village issues.
Cloudcroft is a place of 800 people and maybe 20 covid cases. It's like anyplace else in that it has a wide variety of perspectives and political leanings. I tend to be non-political in a situation like this; I still have the mind to be a media-type guy who presents the news and lets people make up their own mind. But now, I have to admit, this didn't go anywhere as a media site. It was because I never developed it that way.
I have fifteen writing projects on the table, so I'm not making this a media site today anyway. So we'll just carry on, as is, and you will see it develop slowly. I am grateful to be in Cloudcroft, and Sixteen Springs. These places have been good to me. It is not my intent to stir up trouble or cause division in our community. Rather, I want to just put forward things that will educated and inform, possibly record a little of what I've learned, for my own benefit. I hope you enjoy it!
