The storms are coming
The news yesterday, and again today, is tracking huge tornadoes, and I can't help but wonder, is this kind of storm warning and coverage going to be the norm in coming years? They talk about going to 'safe rooms' as if everyone has such a room: in years to come, they will. We will. This is just the...

Wonderful new product!
Kleenex Cool Touch tissues... they really are cool to the touch, which they say is nice for a hot, unhappy nose. I don't know how they do it, but they really are quite refreshingly cool. I am not going to waste these on my nose. I have a better idea. When it gets really hot in the coming summer, I...

Doesn't incompetence just make you crazy?
Do we really, as it seems, have more incompetence to cope with from people who are supposed to be capable and knowledgeable, within the requirements of their job? I read history, and historical novels well-founded in history, and so I know there have always been the lazy, the greedy, the...

Kia found in a Chevy...
Kia is a little 12-week old schnauzer/terrier who got, somehow, locked in a car and then impounded. Kia spent nearly a month, it appears, living on scraps from fast-food trash in the car, and (euch!) old cigars. What did she drink? I am guessing she licked condensation off the glass. Finally, a...

Stop, I tell you! No more!
it comes in the mailbox, it comes in the email, tons of unwanted junk mail/spam... I have to pay to have the real stuff carted off, who can imagine how many pounds a year on the garbage truck? (I wonder if they are in cahoots with the post office, somehow...) And email... I go down the page,...

Are they trying to win some sort of contest?
It seems nearly every day, there is another report in the news--no pun intended--about a shooting, accidental or deliberate, premeditated or not... Today's entry: Five-year old boy accidentally kills two-year old sister with "My First Rifle" that he got as a gift. Mom went out of the room for a few...

Comes a day, you realize, you no longer need to worry about dying young...
I think many of us in the Blogit Community are in that category, or soon will be. When I was young, I didn't think about being old. I didn't want to know about it much, and I grew up without the richness of example that some families have. It is only now, and here that I am learning some very...

Defense of Marriage
The question of who can marry whom is another of those volatile questions in these times, where religion attempts to define and dictate reality for everyone. It smacks of an unseparate Church and State, I say, and of ignorance, even willful ignorance. A good look around this world we all share, at...

Faster, shinier, newer...! vs tea and biscuits
Many of us here are of an age where constant change, constant upgrade, improvement and new looks is all that desireable. Maybe it isn't age, so much as attitude. I, for one, would like my email system to remain constant, as long as it works perfectly well. I am glad for my browser to behave in...

Why do people want pet tigers?
Or foxes, or wolves, or other wild animals? I read an article about domesticated foxes, and how they are, in fact, not merely tamed wild foxes. People want pet foxes that will like them and cuddle with them and be glad of them. A tame wild animal will tolerate your presence, acknowledge you as among...
