1995
I am sitting alone in a room working. Work is an ambiguous thing. Most of my work is writing, so I spend most of my time alone in a room writing. Sometimes, I turn on a television or radio. I claim to do this to hear the news, but mostly I do it because I get bored. I noticed something. Most technological innovations cost $19.95. I wonder about the ( Read more... ) -
Uncle Joe
I am not a supporter of Obama. I wish no ill to him but the outcome of November's election. Then I hope he gets a nice Library and a good career on the speaking circuit. But as to Uncle Joe, he scares me. If anything bad happened to Obama, Uncle Joe would be in charge. This compels thought. Uncle Joe is a reason to vote against Obama. If Obama ( Read more... ) -
Dinosaurs
I have but a bit of time so I speak. Dinosaurs consume my thought. I must start at the beginning, as that is the easiest place to start. It was Thursday. The dog and I were with friends at a farm. It was exotic for us as both of us as we were both city born and bred. The dog had no idea where to relieve herself absent a fire hydrant. We continued ( Read more... ) -
Thump
"Thump, thump, thump!" That is what I heard last night. It was late, near midnight, as I worked in this 19th century building. I was alone, or so I thought. Again, "thump. thump, thump." I love scify and horror stories (especially KT Pinto's), but I am genetically incapable of belief in anything supernatural. This allowed only one possibility, a ( Read more... ) -
Hockey Weekend
I just spent my first (hopefully last) Hockey weekend. On might wonder why one plays Hockey in the U.S. in July? It is like playing Baseball in December. But, I was with Canadians. Throughout the weekend I observed game after game. People dressed like Jason on Friday the 13th came out armed with sticks. The brought an ugly looking ball they named " ( Read more... ) -
Creeping
I am working through an issue. I hear sounds. They exclaim possible conclusions. But, I know you can't jump to conclusions. You have to creep up on them slowly finding footing and hand holes on facts. I need to know more facts and ignore the sounds of assumption. I also want to eat more ice cream, but that is another issue. -
Libertarianism
I am a Libertarian, and very unapologetic. I oppose unnecesaty governmental regulation. I support our courageous military but oppose unnecessary foriegn wars. Unless clearly attacked, Congress should decide upon going to war. That is not my original idea, it appears in the Constitution.. I hate it when people say Libertarians want everyonr to have ( Read more... ) -
Bears
My local police departmrnt just informed us to be on the lookout for bears. Our Police department is really very good and the officers are real professionals. I doubt nothing they say. Yet, I lived in the White Mountains. I always saw bears. They like eating your garbage, but they raarely eat you, Of course, had they eaten me I wouldn't be typing -
alarm clocks
I am amused by these things. I have heard of people. Allegedly serious people speak of time travel and then disapear. Yet who are they? How do I know they disapeared? Perhaps they simply forgot to set their alarm clocks or allowed their cell phone batteries to run down. Simply, extraordinary claim requires extradorinary proof. Exxtraorordinary ( Read more... )
