Welcome to another Abstract Realism post for this artsy Saturday. I am continuing to hone my skills so this one is still not quite what I want, but it is getting there. Couldn’t go wrong with the subject matter though. Continue reading The Beauty Of Quebec
This is yet another post in my “Then N’ Now” series. It is about how I saw the world in the 1940s to the 1960s and how I see it now.

With all the distracted drivers out there, we need to get them out from behind the wheel. That is what this post is all about.

I wonder if the “Duke” (John Wayne) was alive today, whether he would still be a Republican. Maybe you don’t know what “Toadie” is so I will tell you up front. It is a “Suck Up”. That’s what this post is all about.
Continue reading “Republican Men Are Toadies”
There is so much disinformation flying around today that it is becoming a threat to our form of democracy. Why that is and who is responsible for reigning it in? That is what this post is all about.

I really don’t think our current state of being in the U.S. is desirable to any of us living outside the beltway. I believe there is an underlying hunger for all of us to connect with each other. That is what this post is all about.
Continue reading “A Vast Hunger To Connect…”
For this Sunday’s post on looking back five years I thought I would give you an update on rural Internet service.

For this Artsy Saturday I give you a piece of glass art I found recently at the Ft. Wayne Indiana Museum of Art. It is a piece from Micheal Estes Taylor. It will soon be included in my new site MyViewOfTheWorld – Abstract Realism. There is just something about glass art that fascinates me. Maybe it is how it reflects off all the angles. Continue reading Glass Art
Most of you Baby Boomers out there likely know where the title of this post came from. Even though I use the film as the header above that is not what this post is about. Instead, it is about how we are giving up our country and maybe the world, just to get a few dollars more into our pockets
Continue reading “For A Few Dollars More…”
Whether you want to admit it or not, everyone has a dark side. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t be human. In this post I am going to reveal some parts of my dark side! Why am I doing that? Because I am an idiot! 🤣
Continue reading “Everyone Has A Dark Side…”
The US has been a primarily a consumer driven economy for more than a hundred years now and I kinda think Enough is Enough. That is what this post is all about.
Continue reading “Consumer Driven Economy Or…?”
I used to look down on those who don’t vote, but I changed my mind.
That is what this post is all about.
Continue reading “I Used To Look Down On Those Who Don’t Vote…”Thanks, Star Tribune for saying it so well. Another noble tradition buried in the stench of this presidency. Continue reading This Quick Snippet Says It All.
I have been doing some serious thinking lately. I know it is serious because my brain is getting hot. It is a good thing that I don’t have much hair up there anymore, that lets the heat dissipate better. Anyway, this post is about America’s heritage and how we need to rescue it. This is going to be one of my soapbox/philosophical speeches so hang on.
Continue reading “America’s Heritage”For this Sunday’s Look Back let’s look at the MAGA/Evangelical cult. I never would have dreamed that U.S. Christianity would have taken the fatal hit it has when I wrote the above words five years ago. Yeah, we had the Tea Party back then that was identified as a radical right fringe but for the most part they were not identified as a primarily Christian … Continue reading Looking Back – U.S. Christianity
For this Artsy Saturday I give you the Frank Lloyd Wright house near Springfield Ohio. I have been trying out about a dozen apps to find just what I want. This picture is a combination of two different ones. Looks kinda nice in a Van Gogh type way, but I need more practice yet. I give this about a 50/50 between abstract and realism. Continue reading Abstract Realism
No, I’m not talking about a paperweight hospital or the fact that the sole practical purpose of a paperweight is to sit around keeping things from becoming unsettled. What I am talking about is the patience it takes to make a paperweight as shown above. That is what this artsy post is all about.
Continue reading “Patient Paperweights”
Things are rapidly changing in our world and that has far too many of us in a panic. Those that fear change think we are at the beginning of the end in almost anything. But those who embrace change think we just might be at the beginning of the beginning. That is what this post is all about.
Continue reading “Are We At The Beginning Of The End, Or The Beginning Of The Beginning?”
It’s time for me to introduce the final piece of my 2020 trilogy of projects. This one is entitled Rescuing Democracy – at the grass-roots level. That is what this post is intended to be about.
Continue reading “Rescuing Democracy”
Since I am house bound through these winter months I have been watching more TV. It seems as though one commercial is from a drug manufacturer convincing you to buy their product and the next is from a lawyer wanting you to sue someone. That is what this post is all about.
Continue reading “A Class Action Suit…”
They say the two political parties are betting their futures on which version of trench warfare will win out with the American electorate. This post is about explaining what the versions are and who the winner might be.
Continue reading “Class War vs. Cultural War”When I found this post from 5 years ago this week, it grabbed my attention even more than it did then. Symmetry just seems to slow my frantic mind down. It gives me peace in these hectic days. So, here it is again… Continue reading Looking Back 5 Years – Symmetry
The title above seems like an oxymoron. How can something be abstract and real at the same time. This post is about solving that contradiction and my fascination with the very idea.
Continue reading “Abstract Realism?”
One thing I seem to be learning lately is the title of this post. I am a septuagenarian so that may seem like a strange lesson to learn at this point in my life. That is what this post is all about.

If you haven’t seen part one of this series I would encourage you to click here and then come back. This post is about how technology and a shift in purpose will determine the speed of change in the coming decade.

Let’s face it, by the time change has happened it is already on the road to obsolescence. The pace of change is kinda like skywriting. That is what this post is all about.
Continue reading “Change Has Never Been This Fast – It Will Never Be This Slow Again. – Part #1”
Let’s continue our journey in the Then N’ Now series with a discussion of cars. Anybody that has seen the “Velocity” channel knows that the cars of my era are now worth many times more than their original purchase price. Would I rather have a 1970s car or one made today? That is the topic for this post.
Continue reading “Then N’ Now – Cars”
A few days ago during my post about stale cookies I promised you more info about browsers, especially when it comes to privacy. That is what this post is all about.
Continue reading “Why I Dropped The Google Browser”This “Looking Back” post is about Pope Francis and how American Catholics saw him, but maybe more importantly how they might differ from the MAGA/Evangelicals who have moved to the extreme right in American culture. Here are the words from the post five years ago with my highlights that I will talk about here: When I wrote these words, Pope Francis had been pope for … Continue reading Favorites Sunday – About The Pope
This post is about how TimeLine Chronicles, which is a new site I am now working on, is going to take a much broader view of history than anything I have covered at RJsCorner.
