Well, hello all.
Thought it best to start with an introduction,a but what to start with?

Perhaps that I am a married white male living in Nebraska?

To this I could also add that I am an aspiring writer; map making skills are not my forte; and that a place like this thrills me as it fills a need that I have.

Sheesh, one would think that as one got older the question "Tell us a little about yourself." would get easier.

My next posting will be in the request a map section, though I do have one inquiry here, and that being if I use my iPhone and type up a reply in notes, then copy-paste to here, will that cause problems? On some bulletin board systems it tends to mess up my postings with java-y gobbledygook. The advantage however is that it gives me time to reflect upon what I am saying before I post it, whereas if I reflect now, the bbs logs me out before I can complete and approve the thoughts I wish to communicate.
