Those who head our government who would deem it necessary to control the guns of we the citizens has no qualms presenting to our enemies across the border an assault weapons give-a-way. The brilliance of this plan, executed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, was that tracers with these... Sign in to see full entry.

Breaking Out Into Song

People are inclined differently when they are extremely tired or doing some activity that is mundane, but I break out into song. I used to work overnights. Those were difficult for me. I would become so tired and battle to not fall asleep. Then, almost without thinking, I would break out into song.... Sign in to see full entry.

Letter Opener As Fall-Back Tool

Circumstances worked out in such a way that at work today, I used my letter opener rather than my box knife. I am learning that I have to adjust my habits to go with my carpooling. It was my carpool buddy's turn to drive, but I came aboard without thinking. I had left behind my toolbox, in the trunk... Sign in to see full entry.

Am I Smarter Than A Grade Schooler?

The way way a few coffee grounds clung to the bottom of the grinder at work reminded me of an image that has long been off my mind, namely magnetic shavings. In grade school, I did not have much interest in science, but I do remember the magnetic shavings. Looking back at it, I regard it as one of... Sign in to see full entry.

Beginning yesterday, I was feeling achy. This morning I had a sinus headache. I began to wonder if I would feel even worse tomorrow morning, and that what then might be wise would be to stay home tomorrow, not go to work. Then, when I was making tea, I thought to use my specialty tea leaves, The... Sign in to see full entry.

A good friend of mine, who lives far from me, is a Costco member. He also is married. I have thus thought that it is more suitable for him, to be able to... Sign in to see full entry.

Lost Item? Be Open To Every Possibility

I was rather discouraged over the loss of my cell phone when no one called back from work about a returned cell phone and neither had my carpool buddy called to say he found it. For whatever reason, it seemed unlikely to me that I lost on the apartment complex grounds. I had traced my steps... Sign in to see full entry.

Hopefully, In Stupidity I Didn't Lose It

Well, it's gone. I hope not for good. I am referring to my new cell phone. After coming back from work last night, I discovered it was missing. I had not needed to bring it to work, actually, because I am still transitioning from my old cell phone. No doubt, it dropped from me because of the way I... Sign in to see full entry.

Back To Carpooling

I am now carpooling again, for the first time in about four years. My company gives us incentives for sustainability practices. Carpooling is one of those practices. If one carpools, he or she is designated a punch card and for trip carpooling a punch is made. After ten, the employee is rewarded... Sign in to see full entry.

One Government Agency Propping Up Another

Earlier in the summer, I received 4 letters all dated the same date from the same agency--Department of Labor and Industries. Then just within the past half-week, I received 5 letters, all dated the same from L & I. In looking at the content in these letters, I conclude that these all could have...
