60 minutes, and no sight of my work associate who had invited me and other fellow workers to a casino buffet at five thirty. Much of the time, I just sat by the buffet patiently waiting. After forty minutes, I walked around the casino to see if he or ther others were in a different place in the... Sign in to see full entry.

Different Ways To Lock Oneself Out
On back to back days, I found myself locked out of my apartment. Yesterday, it was because my car keys and apartment keys separated themselves from my key chain and dropped somewhere unknown to me. I was at work when it happened, and to this moment, I do not know where they dropped. Fortunately, I... Sign in to see full entry.

Automatic Electronic Payment Debits Throw Me For A Loop
Many people--a majority perhaps?--like to set up to have their monthly bills paid automatically and electronically, but I am not among those people. This arrangement may be touted as a convenience, but I find that it sets me up to be unpleasantly surprised with an overdrawn balance. I like to have... Sign in to see full entry.

Big Changes May Be Ahead
First of all, I miss all of you; second, I may miss you in the bigger sense shortly. I am on vacation, and that is why I have not posted for a while. After I am back, I am likely to make a change in my future direction, and it may mean that I will leave Blogit or at least scale it back. At this... Sign in to see full entry.

Reversing On The Segregation/Desegration Issue
On two or three recent occasions I have heard of so-called civil rights proponents proposing a separate group or league for a respective minority. When Canadian aborigine Carey Price--a professional hockey goalie for the Montreal Canadiens--was on the Olympic hockey team for Canada, he shared duties... Sign in to see full entry.

Worship Graphic The Spirit Counts, But There Should Also Be Professionalism
Worship songs taken from the computer come up on the overhead screen at my church. The songs are edifying and turn the heart in reverence and praise to God, but I have been distracted sometimes by errors in the words displayed, e.g. within in me; yourheart; hearth (where there should be no h at the...

Part At Home; Part Using Downtown Services
Giving my car a long over due car wash, I portioned out the process thereof--doing some at home, and some downtown. Having bought car washing soap, I do the washing at home. I still have not used very much from that bottle. When I first moved to my current apartment complex, I thought I had access... Sign in to see full entry.

Driver's Ed Across Borders
A car I saw at the gas station bore both a big sign that said STUDENT DRIVER and a license plate from Canada. This surprised me. Should driving students be permitted to cross borders into another country? The question never even occurred to me before. I just assumed it was something that never... Sign in to see full entry.

Knee-Jerks Instead Of Knowledge Of History
"The U.S. started the first and second world wars," so said a college student at a coffee shop, as reported to me by a friend at church who had been present at that coffee shop. My friend told him not so, to which he looked up in shock. If this is not an exposure of ignorance under an air of alleged... Sign in to see full entry.

Alarmists Repeatedly Get It Wrong
"Global warming"; "Climate change"; "Ice Age." These have all been terms used, shuffled, in order to keep the alarmism going. Alarmists, you see, are alarmed if there is no alarm. There has to be a crisis so that they can put their chosen messianic marxist leader in place to guide us on the way to... Sign in to see full entry.
