● About Me
Hi there! I’m Barb, the creator and author of this blog. Nice to meet you!
I have been working on drawbridges since 2001. It’s a wonderful job, mostly relaxing, with a light sprinkling of white-knuckled terror to keep things interesting. Bridgetending gives me a lot of time to think about and observe the world. This blog is my opportunity to share those thoughts and observations with you.
My post topics can be rather eclectic; anything from fascinating things I’ve only just learned, to places I’ve been and experiences I’ve had, to crazy things I’ve witnessed, to forgotten history. I also throw in the occasional rant for good measure, and it’s usually political in nature.
I discovered that I was on the autism spectrum just 2 weeks before my 58th birthday. Suddenly a lot of things about my life made sense. Since then it has been quite a roller coaster ride of self-discovery. Post diagnosis, I’ve blogged a quite a bit about that subject, too.
I hope you enjoy what you find here, Dear Reader, and that you’ll add your insights and/or ask questions in the comments below each post. I look forward to hearing from you, and will do my best to respond. In the meantime…
