Being a blogger is a major activity in my life now. It allows me to make connections with people around the world. I have been blogging since 2008 and have written thousands of posts in about a dozen different blogs. … Continue reading Introducing RJsWorld – A New Way To View My Blogs.
Let’s get away from politics for at least today. I have always been a dreamer making up stories about where I would be in my life xx years in the future. Those early dreams spanned from being a Van Gogh … Continue reading I’ve Always Been A Writer… Except When I Wasn’t
Like so many others, I found this T-shirt in the back of my closet the other day. I always wanted to post about it, so here it is, even if it is 4 years late. 🤪 I think one of … Continue reading Hobo Signs & Symbols
A hundred years ago most people who lived in rural communities did not have either electricity or telephones. Today the same is true for reliable Internet connections. Fast Internet requires fiber-optic connections. Most living in the hinterland are like me … Continue reading More About Starlink
In this world of “Us vs Them” so many think that you have to be on their side or the wrong side. I just don’t see it that way. I kind of sit in the middle of the things as … Continue reading Not Mutually Exclusive
Anyone who has been around RJsCorner for very long knows what I think about unearned income. It is outrageous that money received that was not earned is often taxed at a lower rate than the money you earn be the sweat of your brow. To me, that is most fundamentally flawed part of our tax structure and needs to change. The vast majority of unearned income comes from inheritance taxes. Passing wealth from one generation to another is what is primarily responsible for our American Aristocracy and the resulting inequality. I know that the Republican Party, or at least what … Continue reading Tax Reform – Unearned Income
For this Saturday post I give you my now completed µRV. It is a 1992 truck with a cargo cap on the back that was used in my furniture making business at the beginning of this millennium. I started changing … Continue reading My µRV
I too often take one of my most valuable blogging resources for granted. So I thank them for periodically bringing that fact to my attention. That happened just now as I was preparing a post. A screen came up thanking me for my past contributions and asking if I might make another. I still remember those days in 1970 where I as a recent college graduate started collecting my first twenty-four volume encyclopedia. Maybe that in itself deserves note here. In those days it was not unusual for supermarkets to have things that you could collect on a weekly basis. … Continue reading About Wikipedia…
As mentioned last Sunday, I am putting here some foundational posts from my blog at RedLetterLiving here before I resurrect it in September. From RedLetterLiving Blog – Feb 2014 The church frustrates me. I was once asked by a wealthy … Continue reading Not Taking Jesus Seriously
It’s been an active week for backyard critters, so I thought I would give you a sampling for this Saturday post. We had a rare daylight siting of our friendly groundhog. He took up residence under our house until we … Continue reading Backyard Critters
I know that America is one of the few first world countries to never have had a king. That is one of the things I am proudest about my country. We don’t give people un earned privilege just because who … Continue reading American Aristocracy
I remember writing my first real essay in high school in the early 1960s. I don’t remember what the topic was, but I was determined to do a good job of it. To do that, I needed more information about … Continue reading Some Much Information, So Little Use…
I’m going to jump in here with some thoughts that are unrelated to the current series. These thoughts were spurred by a quote on the side of my mini-RV that I am prepping for the coming season. I put the … Continue reading We Pray To The God Of Our Mind…
I have been contemplating just what I want to do with the Sunday’s posts here on RJsCorner. I keep coming back to my religious studies of about a decade ago that are recorded in my blog RedLetterLiving.net. That is where … Continue reading We Pray To The God Of Our Mind
We Americans are among the most unhealthy people in the world and a big part of that is due to our diet. Poor diet is the leading cause of mortality in the United States, causing more than half a million deaths per year. We will never solve our constant struggle to contain healthcare costs until we address this underlying problem. Yeah, we can tinker around the problem by changing drug prices and lowering administration costs, and reducing payments to hospital and provider but that will not drive down costs enough as long as we continue to treat our bodies as … Continue reading Our Food Is Killing Us…
