A good,solid healthcare plan should be so seamless that everyone would embrace it. I have to conclude then that Obamacare is not one of those great plans. To date, 1,372 waivers have been granted. And this for a plan that is supposed to be a mandate on everyone receiving the same government... Sign in to see full entry.

From a Telethon to an Obscene-a-thon
It is amazing the amount of money Jerry Lewis has raised for muscular dystrophy research since he began the fund drive in the 50's. The amount raised is more that 2.5 billion. Wow! That sounds like a lot of money, and no doubt it has made a lot of positive changes for people afflicted with MS. But... Sign in to see full entry.

Rules in Regard to Pedestrians
Between drivers and pedestrians, there is a tendency for either to have an inconsideration for the other. Some drivers tend to not have an eye out for pedestrians, especially at right-hand turns, and the pedestrians, consequently are almost run over. On the other hand, some pedestrians cross...

The Legacy and High Sound ot the King James Version
This year marks the 400th year of the King James Version Bible, what many people attribute as the defining work of English literature.

Islam's Built-in Contradiction, Especially Among its Extremists
I heard on the news recently that Osama Bin Laden had two wives, both of whom he pressed to follow Sharia law, that is with burkas. However, also found among his possessions was pornography. The teachings and writings of the Koran are contradictory. Disciplined Muslims do not drink alcohol, and yet... Sign in to see full entry.

Privileged Parking Spot
Because most of my fellow workers are in the same level of avoiding work-related injuries, a name is drawn for the safety person of the month, and that person receives the designated parking spot that is closest to the entrance to the building. Quite some time back, my name was drawn. But I did not... Sign in to see full entry.

Maybe This Apartment is the One
I looked at a studio apartment today that was right in terms of my income level and right in another way that was lacking in other places.

Now that My Story is Over
Now that I have completed my seven-part fiction story, Red Country Mile, I feel free to disclose some of what I experienced so that I could have a feel for the characters in their action.

No Segregation in the Hair Care Business
Tonight I went to a unique barbershop so that I could watch playoff hockey at the same time. When I saw that the three barbers there were actually women, it struck me how gender stereotypes are shattered in regard to hair care and hair cuts.
