What a strange journey!

TRACKING SOME INANIMATE OBJECTS Some time ago, I came across a dollar bill with a stamp on it inviting me to track the various exchanges of this particular bill. Some of you may have heard of this program called “Where’s George?” You type in the serial number and how and where you obtained this... Sign in to see full entry.

Now

SOME HEADLINES YOU MAY OR MAY NOT EVER WANT TO SEE! Most of us probably read a newspaper daily. I do anyway. And it seems as though I come across an amazing array of headlines each day, ranging from the scary and upsetting to the humorous and thought-provoking to the whacky and bizarre. And any one...

Love this modern technology!

A POST-VALENTINE’S DAY RANT Yesterday was Valentine’s Day, and being an old-fashioned romantic, I always go the traditional route... flowers, candy and a nice dinner. In the morning, I gave my wife a “cute” card, and instead of the ol’ heart-shaped box of assorted chocolates, I gave her a small,... Sign in to see full entry.

What is happening?

IT’S AS THOUGH COMMON SENSE HAS BEEN “RAILROADED!” I don’t know how many people may be aware of this, but there seems to be a very unusual endemic spreading throughout my fair state of New Jersey. No, it has nothing to do with disease, drugs, crime, corruption or stray cats. Instead, this one has to... Sign in to see full entry.

For your contemplation

SOME NEW THOUGHTS ON COUNTING YOUR BLESSINGS Many, many moons ago, I worked part time in the warehouse of a local Rickel’s Home Goods store while attending college. Work was sometimes brutal, unloading trucks, going through stock, breaking down boxes, etc. And for one reason or another, we had an... Sign in to see full entry.

No salt in the wounds but

PATRIOTS VS GIANTS - SOME NUMBERS... One final comment about the Patriots/Giants Superbowl that I just have to share.

How sweet it is!

THE NEW YORK GIANTS - BACK ON TOP! What a Superbowl game! Hey, as the saying goes: “To the victor goes the spoils!” And since my team was victorious, I get to use all the accolades and terminology available to heap praises upon my team! Way to go, G-Men!

A Finale for the dumb people

GOTTA LOVE THOSE WARNING LABELS - CONCLUSION Alright, gang. I know first-hand that there’s still hundreds more of these out there, but let’s cut it off here. I tried to pluck the ones that seemed the most useless, the most pointless, and of course, the dumbest. And so, finally, for your... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

Like the famous Roman stand-up philosopher Comicus once exclaimed: “I coalesce the vapor of human experience into a viable and logical comprehension.” In other words, I see, hear and read about a lot of peculiar things, try to make some sense of them, and then pass them on to you, hopefully in a whimsical but common sense way. Strap yourselves in . . . this ride can sometimes be a little bumpy! From the author of "The Hindering" and "Welcome To America-Society In Decline"
