Is it all about control?
Remember when the Soviet Union was our enemy? Remember all the horror stories we heard about how things were run inside that country? Remember how much money our government spent for us in the name of keeping the country safe? Remember all the little wars we fought, and insurgencies we put down, and...

Conservatives are turning on George Bush, wow!
I've been hearing quite a bit of chatter lately about how even the die hard conservatives of our country are starting to voice real concern over President Bush's rhetoric and actions/inactions. I like to think of myself as a centrist with slight left leanings, and as such I really do try to see both...

Some thoughts about today's blogs.
I read a number of blogs today and commented on a few of them. The feelings I'm detecting is concern that we are being duped by the oil companies, and the Middle East (Iran included), will never see any peace. George the magician is keeping your eyes here on this issue while he uses his best slight...

The dazzling sunlight of this day
A couple of days ago I mentioned I was giving thought to changing my employer, selling my home in the suburbs and moving out to a more rural setting. Well, the truth be told, I'm still thinking like that, but the past couple of days has toned down the rhetoric in my thought processes and I'm feeling...

Keeping my nose to the grindstone is making my face flat!
I had my annual review today at work, and if I was to describe how I felt after, most of the words would be vulgar and ugly. I know I'm not the best, but I did believe I was doing a good job for them. My customers were happy and I've never received a bad report from any of them. I think my...

The Canadian Seal Hunt is on!
The annual Canadian harp seal hunt is on this week, and today's quota alone is set at 234,000 pups. Thankfully they are using highly humane methods for the kill. The animals will be bludgeoned with clubs until unconscious and then skinned. Any animals still alive after the skinning process will be...

Is it Tuesday already?
Well I'm still here in Wixom, Michigan and the customer I seeing is driving me nuts. I just left their plant an hour ago and by my watch it's now Tuesday. Wow. I don't understand why some people have such a difficult time taking care of their machines. They spend millions of dollars to buy our...

Sunday morning on the blog.
I'm still in this hotel room in Wixom, Michigan and while I've gotten most of my weekly reports done for the folks back at the office, and my laundry is in the washing machine, I still feel that I've left some things undone. I had a minor altercation this morning with one of my fellow bloggers, in...

Global warming versus global cooling
I just finished reading the recent blog by "WriterofLight" in which he voices his concerns about the apparent disparities between the recent Time magazine article about global warming, and it publication of an article back in the early 1970s that stated that global cooling was a growing threat. I...

Some thoughts about blogging from an FNG blogger.
I arrived here more or less to test the waters on my writing skills. Over the years I've been told I write well, but never really had the confidence to "put it out there". Since I started I've received a few comments that seem to bolster my confidence and I believe I'll be adding more to my blogs...
