Misc things that sprout in my mind
This post is about stolen goods and senior citizens. I know you have heard numerous stories about how older people have been taken advantage of. There are people out there who are eager to exploit people who have a diminished capacity in one form or another. In that vein, I am convinced that eBay has replaced the local fence when it comes to selling stolen … Continue reading Stolen Goods and EBay
This is a post about my first and last venture to a rock concert, or whatever they might call them nowadays. When I got an advance ticket to the Madison Regatta recently it asked me if I also wanted a ticket to the rock concert being promoted by another entity. I have never been to a music fest so, even though I am deaf, I … Continue reading Rock Concerts
Looking at the picture for this artsy Saturday post, it looks like it could have been taken a hundred years ago. But, in reality, it was taken about a month ago at Greenfield Village in Dearborn Michigan. Continue reading Cars & Bicycles
I am a pro-life person in all regards. I totally believe that all human life is sacred. One of the ironic things about some people is that while they detest some forms of the taking of human life, mainly fetuses, they celebrate killing in too many other circumstances. I am pro-life in all regards. We in the USA just seem to be a very belligerent … Continue reading Sometimes Necessary, But Never Celebrated…
I took a uRV trip to Madison Indiana for the annual Madison Regatta this past weekend. This is the first time I have been there so it was on my bucket list. I am generally not a powerboat racing fan but it was neat to see these guys go 100+ mph across the water. If you want to see more pics, check out my Flickr … Continue reading Madison Regatta
I just decided to play hooky today. Too many summer chores that need to be done and too little time to do both blogging and them. :) Continue reading Playing Hooky
I read a statistic the other day that almost half the folks under forty say their primary news source is Facebook? That totally astounded me. Yes, Facebook is a nice tool to keep up with family and friends, and even some not-so-friends but a primary news source? But maybe I am old-school when it comes to where I get my news. I want my news to … Continue reading Getting Your News From Facebook?
Sante Fe Texas joins the list of tragedies in local high schools. The scenario is all too familiar. A disgruntled teen is depressed and wants to go out in a flash of attention. This time he got his weapons from his father’s stash but he could have just as easily bought them himself. This national tragedy that very rarely happens in other countries continues… It … Continue reading They Won’t Listen…
For this artsy Saturday, I want to give you a taste of Spring. This picture was taken about a year ago at the Prophetstown State Park here in Indiana. It is beautiful to me because of its simplicity… Continue reading Spring Has Sprung!! Hallelujah
I think there is a pretty fair part of the folks in this country who think their life sucks. They haven’t had a raise in umpteen years. They have to have someone to blame and that person is often those they see as getting the “breaks” in life. It’s pretty hard for them to admit that for the most part “my life sucks because of me”. … Continue reading My Life Sucks…
On my post a while ago entitled “Life’s Lesson” I said there were ten things that I have learned in my life that I aim to put forward for your consumption here on RJsCorner. It is important to me and I kinda think it should be important to each of us that when we come across myths about living, we should do what we can … Continue reading Breaking Down The Myths About Deafness
Now before you jump on me with your rants, I am not trying to take your guns away from you. Being a history nut I realize that the second amendment is presently not interpreted as it was when it was originally written. The primary part of it was the first words “In order to establish a well-regulated militia.” The underlying fear back then was that now … Continue reading Repeal The Second Amendment
Just a short post to tell you that I just added a Santa Fe album to my Flickr portfolio. Click here to see it. Santa Fe has become my favorite city InSearchOfAmerica. It is flush with history, heritage especially things Native-American and Spanish. Continue reading Santa Fe on Flickr
For all you “off the wall” guys out there I am starting a new album at Flickr called “Surreal”. It will be composed of dream-like pictures about various topics. The first one is that to me NYC seems like a beehive. Click here to see the first offerings. NYC Worker Bees…. Continue reading Surreal @ Flickr
The title of this post has multiple meanings. It was once a TV show about a single Indianapolis mother who was raising two teenage girls. It was a comedy but also showed some of the serious sides of parenthood. It is also a theme associated with Alcoholic’s Anonymous. That is you work through each day at a time to stay sober. But, I want to take the … Continue reading One Day At A Time…
