First Post

How many initial postings are titled "First Post"? Why will this blog be different? Who in the world is DaveB? A little bit about myself is a good start. I live in Texas (the Dallas reference) and consider myself a student of the Nashville Agrarians who wrote I'll Take My Stand in the 1930s. This doesn't mean I agree with everything they wrote but it has been a good starting point for me. I will be posting my thoughts on the news of the day, books I am reading, and general speculation.
