For Quadruple Amputees, We Have Come A Long Way

It was a pleasing surprise to me to hear what a quadruple amputee can do in our present day. A former combat soldier, Todd Nicely, lost all four limbs from an explosion, but just recently he ran a five-mile race, in just a little over an hour. That is major progress from what I have read about... Sign in to see full entry.

"Consensus" Scientists Seize Policy Power; They Don't Conduct Science

Something is fishy here. Many in this country no longer believe in man-made global warming or Darwinism. Yet from the lofts of the powers that be, there are so-called scientists who claim people are idiots to deny the "reality" of man-made global warming or Darwinism. These are just centerpieces of...

235 Years, And I Fear We Are Straying

It has been 235 years now since the founders of this country met in Philadelphia and signed the Declaration of Independence, but I fear that if they were here with us today they would not recognize the country. With more and more governmental and bureaucratic control, the government at least is... Sign in to see full entry.

Where I Meet My Muse

"Is anyone sitting there?" the lady at the coffee shop said. I said, "No," and she took the empty chair from my table; and then she joked, "Maybe an invisible person was sitting there." I briefly thought of saying, "My muse was sitting there." With certain cases of my writing, especially my current... Sign in to see full entry.

Stupid Inventions That Do Not Work

Not all inventions are brilliant. Some absolutely defeat their own purposes. Here are three examples: *Elastic suspenders. They may be easier to get over the shoulders, but the elastic gives way to stretching and to revealing too much. *Cigarette filters. These were supposed to screen out the...

Murphy's Law on the Day Prior to My Vacation

When my elbow was bothering me a month or two ago, I decided it needed a time of extended rest. I was able to secure the first half of July (not counting today) for my vacation. Because of the way I had adapted my technique to neutralize the repetitive twist action of one of my job tasks, my elbow... Sign in to see full entry.

Anti-Doggy Doo: My Kind of Condominium

I heard on the news about a Florida condominium that fines heavily for dog owners that fail to pick up the waste after their dogs. This is done through DNA identification, so each dog owner who wants a condo there must provide a DNA sample of their dog or their dog's waste. The fee for this is $200,...

Shopping Cart Theft

One of my pet peeves is the license far too many people take with shopping carts. It is not just the homeless who push around shopping carts for their own personal use. I have even seen women from church do this. They morally are not allowed this assumed privilege. They are thieves. But, alas, it is... Sign in to see full entry.

Gradual Packing and House Cleaning

I have secured another apartment into which I will move in the middle of July. I like the way it has turned out in terms of my time table..Knowing that I am finally moving gives me the impetus to pack my belongings, and I also don't have to pack in a rush to get everything out of my apartment in a...
