I am a list maker and planner, that is who I am, and due to my Aspie traits I put logical thinking above most emotions. In that regard, I realize that I will very likely outlive my wife by possibly … Continue reading Considering My Options For Future Living
It seems that the best argument that some have about not wearing a mask while in public is that it is “government intrusion into our personal lives!!!” They say they would rather die of the virus than wear a mask! … Continue reading Government Intrusion??
Before I get down to the crux of this post I want to tell you about one of the most heart wrenching books I have ever read. Its title was The Cry and the Covenant. The book was written in … Continue reading If Everyone Wore A Mask…
I don’t really remember where the title came from for this post, but I kinda think that getting paid for pro bono work means much more than money. In my pre-retirement life I just didn’t have the time to do … Continue reading Life Stories – I Do Pro-Bono Work, If The Price is Right
It’s been quite a while since I posted on weekends here on RJsCorner. I needed the time away to get my head into the proper perspective. With this post I am starting weekend posts once again, but it will be … Continue reading Weekends Are For Chilling Out.
It’s about time to forget the pandemic for a little while and do a post on self-reflections. I don’t know how it happened but when I look in the mirror each morning the old guy that I see looking back … Continue reading Reflections In The Mirror…
I have a friend on Facebook who has been using that media to make sure we all know that police officers are good people and protesters, especailly those who loot, are not so good. I have been tempted to get … Continue reading Good Cop… Bad Cop
This is a personal perspective of the years between 2000 and 2016. This post is not meant to provide you with a high-level view of the world during this period. Instead, it is from the viewpoint of the 54-year-old to … Continue reading Into The Looking Glass – 2000 – 2016
I found this critter on the streets of Rapid City South Dakota. I love the artsy nature of this full-sized bronze. There were several others around that I will eventually get around to including them here. Continue reading Balancing Act
All the civil unrest because of the George Floyd murder has brought serious attention once again to police departments around the country. Numerous articles are floating around about the possible root causes for these types of incidents. One that stuck … Continue reading Corporations & Unions – The Same Tactic?
I love outside the box buildings. They spark my creative imagination. I love things that stretch your imagination, stretch your brain. For this post, I want to show you an “outside the box” art museum. I don’t think there is another … Continue reading Outside The Box…
The movie Soylent Green was made in 1973 about the coming apocalypse in 2022. According to some worldviews, that is what is happening now. All those big cities are paying the price for their decadence. They got what they deserved … Continue reading Where Is The Middle Ground?
I want to end this week’s posts with some less crappy stuff. Even for these times, it has been a spectacularly crappy week. The current Oval Office occupant (#CO3) has outdone himself with his stupidity. That is evident since even … Continue reading The Less Crappy Stuff… SpaceX
Let’s face it, in most major cities and even small and middle size ones police departments are coming under fire. There are just too many George Floyds happening. But then again, maybe with the certainity that any police abuse will … Continue reading Policing The Enemy or Protecting & Serving?

With all my meltdowns lately, I have been looking for some way to let go of all the problems that I have no control over. It just seems that there is so much wrong with our country today that I … Continue reading Lighten Up!!
I remember June 8, 1970 very well. It was the day I joined the working world on a full time basis. I don’t know how that could have been so long ago. I remember it as if it were yesterday. … Continue reading 50 Years Ago Today…
It’s been almost a month now, and I am getting disappointed in how my new blog is going. No one seems to want to look at the lighter side of life. 😩 If you have the time click on the … Continue reading I’m Getting Desperate
I didn’t have to put this picture through any app to make it abstract as it is already in that mode. This full-size Lego statue was found in a Peoria Illinois museum last year. I have always been fascinated by … Continue reading Tearing Out My Heart For You…
No, I am not saying that in general police brutality is the norm across the country. I am sure that 95% of those on a police force are doing their job of serving and protecting. It is that 5% who … Continue reading Police Brutality – It Just Makes Sense
I have let it be known at my daily journal blog over at RJsCorner that Will Rogers is one of my top heroes in life. If you want to see some of the many posts about him just go there … Continue reading Looking For Humor In The Crappy Stuff
