Hello and Welcome!

Hello there.  Welcome to blueiota.  I am sure you are wondering about the url, so let me briefly explain.  An intelligent friend liked the title because it clarifies the topic, which is primarily minutiae.  We will be talking "over the fence," so to speak, about a myriad of things, from why they are called Queen Anne's sleeves to the sexualization of the Southern woman in literature.  In other words, this site deals with social history and pop culture issues and changes.  Now, before you flee in terror, assuming this is just another place where a frustrated teacher is venting, remember that you learn only that which you find truly interesting.  And guys, don't you run either.  The site will contain plenty of iotas for you, as well.  For example, any true student of Texas history can tell you that the Battle of the Alamo might never have taken place if Travis, Crockett, and assorted company had been more successful in their relationships--with both men and women.  But more on that later.

As you can see, my goal is to capture your attention and keep it.

So sit back, enjoy the ride, and stayed tuned.  We'll have fun.  I can promise you that.
