Just another retired engineer wandering around the cold, cold wilderness trying to find whatever's left of my witless country.
All right, we’ve seen where to watch airplanes in the sky, and ships in the water, but what about the third major transportation technique, the rail?

I don’t use Chrome, so this doesn’t bother me, but to those who do this is a big deal! Update immediately if it didn’t do it automatically.
Lewis K. Uhler and Peter J. Ferrara point out the serious nature of the threat of socialism to the United States, in a commentary at International Business Daily.

At the same time Dragon 2 was hitting the water, the crew at Boca Chica was moving the Starhopper over to the launching area. They can walk and chew gum at the same time! No clear word yet about whether the nose cone part is going to be used for flight tests. Opinions differ. Seeing […]
Here is a site some of you might like. Created by Steven Stengel of Orange County, California, it showcases a collection of old computer technology, arranged in pages by year. Though I am not that Steve, I have sympathy for how he feels because I have owned and still own (or used at work) at […]
The ever-entertaining Sebastian Gorka was invited to speechify at CPAC this year, and thought he knew which American enemies he was going to talk about. But after he started with Russians and collusion and all that stuff, he changed his mind mid-stream and decided to talk about our real enemy: socialism at home. The topic […]
Sundance, over at The Conservative Treehouse, had an excellent post on March 7th that explains in clear language how a hot economy doesn’t need to trigger high inflation rates. Sundance has used his blog to champion the idea that President Trump is concentrating on “Main Street” instead of “Wall Street”, and sees these as two […]
These creatures are just amazing to watch, especially when set to good music. Their genetic structure is weird, too. Maybe we can steal some of their genes and get rid of this whole messy, painful, tacky tatooing thing? Warning: the video ends abruptly, a shame.
Ah, the great George Carlin! The world lost a comic genius when he passed away in 2008. Here he is at his best, utterly destroying the global warming crowd. [language warning, not suitable for children] [hey, this is George Carlin, of course it’s not suitable for children]
I still remember when I first saw this logo and heard the sound, sitting in a theater waiting to watch Return of the Jedi. I wonder if George Lucas appreciates this fellow’s homage?
…and not only along the southern border, by illegals from Central and South America. In this case, the tip of the spear is firmly lodged in Congress, near the very top of our government, and it was born in Somalia. Michael Walsh writes in American Greatness today about the problem of avowed enemies gaining a […]
Wow. Has it really been almost 20 years since we saw this? These here intertubes have come so far. It took five years, but in 2005 the website CNET named this the number one web fad. In these tumultuous times, take three minutes and thirty-four seconds out to enjoy a blast from the past, the […]
To those interested in the history of flight, you may have missed this site. It’s a treasure trove of 14,891 images of all aspects of aerospace flight, from missiles to manned rockets to military airplanes, in an easily-navigated website.

Roger Taylor, a physician specializing in obstetrics and gynecology, asks today in American Thinker, “Could abortion be mandatory under the totalitarian Democrats?” There is a new storm brewing. The new wave of young socialists in Washington has dangerous and anti-American ideas. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her misguided cronies want to impose extreme totalitarianism on us through the ruse […]
[Updated] An American company just flew an American-built vehicle that will return Americans to space, launched from American soil for the first time since we retired the Space Shuttle fleet in 2011. This is a major accomplishment. We won’t have to pay exorbitant prices to the Russians for seats on their Soyuz anymore, perhaps starting […]
