When a person is found guilty of reckless endangerment he can get up to a year in prison. That is the law. I’m sure sometime in the future this law will apply to those who willfully choose not to wear a mask in public places. Given the fact that, if the evidence proves true, pandemics will become much more prevalent in the future, it will likely happen soon.

In 1965 I was a high school senior in a very small-town rural school. The building was built about 80 years before and the creaking stairs and just about everything else showed the wear. The basement used to be the gymnasium but that had sometimes since moved next to the International Harvester repair shop downtown. We were the biggest graduating class in the schools’ history, all sixty-nine of us.

Anyone care to guess what this is a picture of? I won’t make you wait because it would then be a very short post. 😅 It is the maneuvering vents of the Space Shuttle now in the Washington DC Museum … Continue reading Out Of This World
Because of my Aspie traits I have lived a good portion of my life feeling I am alone in this world. No one else seemed to see the world as I did. So, when in college in the 1960s I came across the words
I am a rock I am an island ... And a rock feels no pain An island doesn't cry.Continue reading “I Am A Rock, I Am An Island, I Am An Altruist”
I have let it be known many times here on RJsCorner that I have significant Aspie traits. I have not been officially diagnosed, nor do I care to be, so I don’t call myself an Aspie. If you want to know more about this condition, at least from my personal perspective click here.
I had an Aspie type meltdown about three weeks ago that scared me. I have had a few more since then so I kinda get the reason for them. If you care to read about my first meltdown click here to see that post.

I am very aware that people collect just about everything in the world. Being as how the USA is driven by consumer spending it’s not surprising that we have some of the biggest collections in the world. In case you … Continue reading History of Mustard?
It was fascinating to see an article about what Millennials just aren’t buying as much as previous generations have. From everything I have read it looks like they will take lead away from us Boomers when we were their age. They are all about changing the world and they should be. With global warming becoming a daily issue now and with pandemics likely to happen more frequently they need to take command. It’s their world that we are messing up.

This post is about the three pillars of keeping this pandemic in check. I am giving some the benefit of the doubt by saying there are still too many who don’t understand them and why they are necessary.

To those who lived there between 1934 and 1963 Alcatraz, otherwise known as “The Rock”, was a brutal place. But now that it sits as a tourist attraction in the San Francisco bay it seems much more tame. And of … Continue reading The Rock
This is a personal perspective of the years between 1950 and 1965. 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 4-year-old … Continue reading Into The Looking Glass – 1950-1965
What has become of us? We used to be a nation that the rest of the world looked to for guidance and stability. What has become of us? We have never been led by an openly vicious, intentionally cruel and … Continue reading What Has Become Of US?
In reality, this picture is more real than abstract. One of the things I really loved about Canada’s national capital is the reflection of the old on the new. That is, glass buildings next to the historical structures. It makes … Continue reading Ottawa Reflections
It seems everything in the news now has to do with the pandemic. But, if you get past the spin on Twitter and such there is a glimmer of hope on the horizon. That is what this post is all … Continue reading A Glimmer Of Hope
There are many around today to hypocritically claim to be pro-life. But, to them that only meant unborn babies and maybe fellow tribe members. That soapbox is where I am standing for this post.

I am going to spend Wednesday’s post in the coming weeks on one subject and that is to try to show where we as country have been and where we might be headed. The series will be titled Into The … Continue reading American Anthology… In To The Looking Glass At RJsCorner
I want to give you a slightly abstract picture from my many visits to northern Wisconsin. I don’t really remember exactly where this one was taken as it was in 1998 and there was no GPS at that time. But … Continue reading Serenity
This post continues from yesterday’s post about my recent experiences with shopping in my very small-town grocery versus going 20 miles to a larger metropolitan area. Covid-19 wise the difference is night vs day. I, like most in the world, … Continue reading Small Town vs Metropolitan…Covid-19
Just a quick note to all by regular readers. I imagine you figured out that I have changed the theme here at RJsCorner. I originally used it for my new blog over at My View Of The World, and it … Continue reading I Hope You Like It
I make it no secret here at RJsCorner that I have significant Aspie traits. But, until recently I proclaimed that I don’t have Aspie meltdowns. I think I got that wrong. That is what this post is all about. Let’s … Continue reading Did I Have An Aspie Meltdown?
I ran across a rather startling picture at the Andrew Johnson Historic site in northern Tennessee a few years ago. Before I talk about that, I was thoroughly amazed at how Johnson’s hometown managed to spin the story … Continue reading Slavery
Just a quick BTW (by the way) for this Saturday. I am not a late night TV viewer so I have never seen his show, but I got a kick out of the quote below Continue reading The Darkest Winter…
