Rich's blog

My personal public soap-box, from which I may shout that which makes me happy, and have the sense that someone is listening, whether they are or not, even as it does not matter at all...

About Me

Vespa Rich: I was born and raised in Denver Colorado. I have a Degree in Computer Engineering from Colorado State Uiversity in Fort Collins Colorado. I lived in Utah for high school. I had a 94 Mustang GT 5.0L V8 for 6 years, but it finally died and I had to give it up... very difficult. I now live in California and drive my scooter EVERYWHERE! :)
