I know that most people from outside the Midwest probably can’t even put Indiana in the right place on the U.S. map. But I think when asked “How would describe Indiana?” the answer many would give is that it is a cornfield with lights. I admit that for the most part Indiana is kind of boring. It doesn’t have an ocean or mighty mountains. … Continue reading When You Think Of Indiana??
When our founders set up our government their intention was that its citizens would come to the nation’s capital for a period of time to contribute to the running of the people’s business and would then return to their normal lives. Of course that is not what is happening today. There are way too many people in our congress who are now collecting very lucrative … Continue reading Congressional Pensions??
My latest micro-RV (uRV) trip was to Madison Indiana which is on the Ohio River east of Louisville. As usual I took county and state roads during my 400 mile trek. One of the towns that intrigued me was Flat Rock Indiana. I’m sure it was once a thriving rural town in the area. There is a gravel pit near the town as the only … Continue reading Welcome To Flat Rock…
Amazon is growing in leaps and bounds so it just makes sense that they start their own air delivery system both big and small. In order to control costs end-to-end processes are required and that is just what Amazon is doing. I have been a pretty constant Amazon customer for the past 15 years or so. I wish I could say that I have also … Continue reading The Next Step
This picture is of my wife years before we were married. I don’t know the time or place but I love this picture. It has a raw Steinbeck type quality that pulls me in. Her clothes, the lamp and such add to the mystic. Continue reading A Steinbeck Image…
On one of my recent uRV trips to northeastern Indiana I visited the Swiss Heritage Village. It was recommended to me by the tourist information center in the city of Berne. I was not aware that there was a strong Swiss presence in that part of the State. Here are some pictures of that visit. (Click on any picture to see a larger slideshow view) … Continue reading Swiss Heritage Village – Berne Indiana
I have been dreaming of my trip to Alaska ten years ago so I thought I would pull a couple of pictures for today’s post. No we didn’t eat at “Smiles Seafood Cafe” but looking back I wish we had. Continue reading All Smiles Today…
Hypocrisy, especially the GOP brand, seems to be flowing in a torrent flood lately. The GOP controlled House spent millions of our tax dollars trying to take down Hillary because of a guy with an RPG in Benghazi. But they never mentioned any of the times above while their guy was in the White House. THAT IS WHAT I CALL HYPOCRISY Continue reading The Hypocrisy Of Politics…
I think the title above came from Solomon but for me it refers to my uRV (micro-RV). I have spent the last couple of years putting stickers and saying on the camper cap. I think it looks pretty unique. But then I ran across the following picture from the Nationa Museum of American History. I really didn’t think I was the first to put messages … Continue reading Nothing New Under The Sun…
Change, change, change… that seems to be our world today. While I for the most part embrace change I don’t like change simply for changes sake. That according to the source below seems to be almost where many are as technology consumers. dIn 1984 when PCs were first on the scene I quickly embraced the technology. But I also quickly discovered that there were many things … Continue reading We Have Come To The Point….
This post is part of my continuing study of the Autism spectrum and particularly Asperger’s Syndrome. I am stuck between two worlds in my life. I am a deaf man who lives almost exclusively in the hearing world but neither the hearing world or the deaf world considers me a homeboy. I am seldom around other deaf people so I can’t speak for them but … Continue reading Caught Between Two Worlds….
Country music has never been my friend but in 1012 when we were in the area we visited the Grand Old Opry, or at least the early version of if. It was fascinating to see this almost eighty year old building that had been the start of so many country and blue grass artists. Here are some pictures of that visit. As usual click on … Continue reading Grand Ole Opry…
The source article from which the below quote was taken is a detailed desciption of what an social media addict does during a typical day. Unfortunately I seem to see more and more of these young addicts every day. The best thing is the little notification box, which means someone liked, tagged, or followed her on Instagram. She has 604 followers. There are only 25 … Continue reading The secret lives of screen-addicted teens
Now that the final segment of this political season is upon us maybe it is time to take a break from politics until at least the first debate. That is what I intend to do. I don’t think I can handle all the mudslinging that will surely occur in the coming days and weeks. Ninety eight days from now it won’t matter, either we will have … Continue reading It’s Time For A Break…
