A story of thick mud

Up to shoulders in thick swamp mud

Up to his shoulders in thick mud

I ventured out into the swamp today. The breeze was cool but the sun was warm, and I’ve been dying to get back into the mud. I decided to wear jeans and visit my wooded location, where the mud is really thick. As it turned out; the mud was really thick!

Thick mud has it’s pros and cons. On the pro side, it makes for a great struggle, and it’s a bear to get out of. As a consequence, it’s also very difficult to go completely under. I fought long and hard to get all the way  under, but I only got in up to my shoulders. It would have been great to watch that thick mud, slowly closing over my face, but just getting up to my shoulders took all the time I had. I think I made a good show of it, though.

Slow start

I had hoped we could start with a core group  and hold discussions about how we could make this community male-mud friendly, but open to open-minded mudders of all persuasions, and both titillating and informative. It really isn’t practical for me to leave the comment section open to the world, unless I resort to using captchas to deter robots. On the other hand, comments aren’t terribly compelling if we only have 3 people who are authorized to comment. My goal is to sign up as many trusted people as I can before I reveal this blog to the world, so I don’t have to open it up while the blog is still in it’s infancy. I have a pretty long list of contacts, but I’ve only had in-depth discussions with a handful of them. So, if you’ve been invited, and you’re reading this now, please don’t hesitate to click the “log in” button and register an account. I’ll update you from a subscriber to an author as soon as I recognize your registration.

Inverted mud photos

This is my first “gallery” style post. A couple of these are pretty old photos.

First post

This is the first post in my new swamp blog. If you’re reading this, you are probably one of a select few who I’ve invited to seed this blog with some content and discussion.

I’m not sure how we can make this better than a Yahoo! group, or some other portal based, interactive community, but I’d love to hear ideas on who we should allow to do what, and what sorts of restrictions we should put on content.
