Please feel free to check the Archives link in the menu. This link takes you to my old website that in 2015 froze and stopped letting me fix or update. There is a lot of great information there. There was too much information to transfer, so after transferring a few relevant pages I decided to just leave the rest there for you to explore like an archaeological dig.
