Hello & Welcome!

I’m John Hayes – aka oopsjohn, the ‘holy goof’ – an enigmatic septuagenarian with Pantagruelian appetites and a near-fatal tendency to ask too many questions.

Expect to find on this site an ever-evolving and widely diverse collection of “pics & quips” as well as conjectures and reflections designed to inform and engage.

I have no ax to grind or soapbox opinions to bludgeon you with (sic!), although I often play ‘devil’s advocate’ in order to encourage critical thinking.

Thanks for visiting…

PS – Commercial followers will be deleted.
