About this site

This is the web site for the Pugh Family of Culpeper, Virginia. Here a few general rules about how this site is organized, and a few quick links to some of the more important features.

Quick access to stored files.
If you’re looking for a specific files, and I have it mounted up here, this is the first place you should look.

Blog Categories
Like many sites that run on WordPress, this one follows a blog structure. The categories I use are:

  • Family. These are about the goings on of our little clan, and may sometimes drift into topics of family history and genealogy.
  • Travel.  These are descriptions or comments about places that I, either by myself or with the family, have visited. I try to make these about esoteric places that aren’t likely to be well known.
  • Hobbies. This one is rather broad, and can cover a variety of things. Some of the more common topics include gaming, gardening, computer technology, and other things that I enjoy dabbling in.
  • Outer Space. I’m a spacer. I believe that the future of humanity will involve the development of outer space, in one form or another.
  • Neurodivergency. This is, argueably, the main focus of this site. I am a long time sufferer of depression, and the complications it creates. As it turns out I have been dealing with far more than vanilla depression for much of my life. I sometimes talk about my experiences here, in the hope that my words may help other patients.
  • General. Last but not least, any quick reference or general information I have to share will show up here.

I will be trying very hard to not use the catch-all heading of “Uncategorized,” that comes with WordPress. As a former librarian, using such a term just rubs me the wrong way. If any articles turn up in this heading, it’s probably because I haven’t chosen a category for it. At the very least, I will use a subject heading (from either the Library of Congress or Sears taxonomies) as a tag. Such tags can be hooked by the internal search engine.

Also, the tags on the various articles use a “controlled vocabulary” approach, using Library of Congress subject and authority headings. Entering such terms in the search window may help you find what you’re looking for.

If you want to comment on an article that isn’t allowing comments (older ones mostly), they can be sent to me via personal email. To do that, send an email to:

Please mention the article you are commenting on, so my scattered brain can go back and see what you’re talking about.
