Family, church, and world, as viewed through Dave's myopic eyes.
Thanks to Peggy Noonan for nailing the truth of today’s political landscape.
“The Democrats have no idea what they stand for, the Republicans only remember what they stood for.”
And that is as close as I care to get to a political statement.
Dave, thinking, “A pox on both their houses.”
Tell us what you're thinking...

My name is Dave Ayers and I hope you will be a frequent visitor to the Orlop. What is an Orlop, you ask? It is the lowest deck on an Age of Sail man-of-war, well below the waterline where the cables are stowed. It's also a good place for a foremast jack to hide for a catnap. I learned this from reading Patrick O'Brian sea novels, and since my computer workstation is also below the water line and I have been known to sneak a nap there, I thought it would make a good name for this blog.
I discovered blogging several years ago when my son Larry, a natural-born blogger, discovered the wonders of WordPress, a state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. (Their words, not mine.) Anyway, some five years, 750 articles and thousands of words later, I'm still at it, a testimony to this easy-to-use program and the therapy of wordsmithing.
