Rick Elia wrote for a newspaper for over 20 years, until he stopped doing that. After that he did some (mostly perfectly legal) stuff we don’t want to talk about.
He started writing Facebook posts as therapy for the trauma of the 2016 presidential election. One day he came up with the idea of putting his writings into a blog. So he did.
Previously, he created two other blogs:
The Folks from Patterson Avenue: http://www.pattersonavenue.blogspot.com
3 Dog Productions Video Village: http://www.3dogproductions.blogspot.com
