Posted March 20, 2015, 2:26 p.m.

As is often the case when I have these little ‘unplanned hiatuses’ on Off on a Tangent, I’ve been accumulating random photos that have just been aching to be posted. Many of them have seen the light of day on Facebook, but none have been featured here yet. Oh well.

So as I start to get back into a swing of things (especially now that the No-Nonsense Weather update is out the door) I took some time to go through and pick out some random photos for your enjoyment. More substantive posts are in-progress too, so stay tuned!

Scott Bradford has been putting his opinions on his website since 1995—before most people knew what a website was. He has been a professional web developer in the public- and private-sector for over twenty years. He is an independent constitutional conservative who believes in human rights and limited government, and a Catholic Christian whose beliefs are summarized in the Nicene Creed. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Public Administration from George Mason University. He loves Pink Floyd and can play the bass guitar . . . sort-of. He’s a husband, pet lover, amateur radio operator, and classic AMC/Jeep enthusiast.
