You’ll notice some unusual activity on the Twelve Mile Circle over the next several days. I will be transferring some of my “old” geography pages into blog format to make it easier for me to manage content and so viewers won’t have to ping back-and-forth between sites.
Twelve Mile Circle grew up from a series of static pages that I called “Strange Geography USA.” based on odd things I’d encountered during my travels. These were locations where I’d actually set foot, where I’d documented local conditions with my eyes and a camera and where I had an interesting experiences to share.
Over time the distinction between the two became somewhat artificial. The Twelve Mile Circle gradually smothered its Strange Geography precursor like kudzu unleashed on Georgia. The Circle now incorporates everything new, my personal travels as well as fascinating features I’ve studied from afar. It’s also expanded to an international audience. Strange Geography USA became an elderly dowager, beloved although perhaps a little senile, now ready to retire to the old folks’ home.
The remaining weirdness on my website will remain untouched. If you really have an interest in my beer and genealogy fixations you can always go to those pages. They will not intrude here for the most part although longtime readers know they have a way of creeping in from time to time.
I will return with plenty of new content once I finish the transition. I’m hoping it will take no longer than a week or two. I have a bunch of topics waiting in reserve and I will then return to my normal publishing schedule once completed: about one new topic every third day (i.e., it takes awhile to research and write each entry and I have only an hour or two each evening plus some time on the weekends; you know the deal).
So sit back and enjoy some of these golden moments from the past. I’ll be working feverishly behind the scenes attempting to reformat them, updating them if necessary, and setting all the redirecting links to point to new web locations.
