As much as I can sympathize with those that are displace due to gentrification (And I can! as the APT’s I was living at was purchased by a developer and raised my rent so high I was forced to move. While I kept my place up and kept it nice. Virtually no one else did. […]
Rick Sapp’s article “The 12-Step Program” on USCCA’s blog back on 17 February 2017 got me to thinking for quite a while about the amount of time and effort I spend on Facebook (FB) reading and responding to the most outlandish posts. Basically, Sapp said that if you actually measure the amount of time you […]
Construction of the orbit-capable Starship prototype in Boca Chica, Texas, has progressed to the point where it has — well, it has a point. No longer can it be mistaken for R2D2, or a water tank. This is undeniably a spaceship. Musk has brought in the big gun of a free society: competition. A second […]
This movie begins with one of the most artistic openings ever put to film. We are greeted with a black screen and dead silence, which gradually lightens as credits appear. About the same time as we notice the faint outline of a mountain range, we hear the faint call of a distant sea bird. What […]
In my opinion we’re dealing with sociopaths. It’s difficult to tell who’s a real sociopath because people become infected by them as if they’re bitten. But, what sociopaths create is very easy to see. Mostly sociopaths create chaos and misery for everyone except themselves and it’s easy to see all over the world. Make no […]
Ribeyes tonight!
Not sure about the new mustache, but here’s another example of a vital but less-than-obvious process for keeping the ship running efficiently and cleanly.

Published 13 May 2016 The Heroes 4 Hire awoke just after dawn, grabbed some breakfast and then headed back to the ravine and the Shrine they had discovered the day before. When they arrived, the team snuck into the large hallway where they had […]
You may not have heard of this story from England’s Midlands. A doctor of 23 years experience is “under investigation” after politely asking a Moslem woman to remove her niqab so that he could hear her better as she described her child’s symptoms. Here is the Mail’s take on it. If you search “Dr Wolverson […]
We live in an age of political upsets. Trump won in the USA, Brexit in Britain, and now Scott Morrison won in Australia. This is the story that everyone is talking about. The pollsters got it wrong yet again. They predicted a win for a leftist party and the party on the right that had […]
There is a joke, told during the final days of the Soviet Union when there was a new openness. At the back of a church stood a KGB man, watching the congregation shuffle out after the service. When the church emptied, he sneered at the priest. “Ha! We have nothing to fear from your church, […]
This coming Thursday the UK will be taking part in the elections to the body commonly called the “European Parliament” although it doesn’t represent all of Europe and it’s not really a parliament. It does not initiate legislation and is really just a big, expensive, democratic fig leaf for the Commission which holds the real […]

Mt St. Helens eruption. I am sure a few of you remember it well and some may even have personal stories. I would love to hear them in the comments. I was living in Minneapolis and remember the smell but that’s about it. There are some pretty good documentaries on You Tube about the event […]
