Quaker Meeting – A Place To Unmask
I have been a long time follower of “The Religious Society of Friends”, otherwise known as Quakers. They just seem to have it right in so many respects. But I have always been reluctant to even try to attend a meeting, Continue reading Quaker Meeting – A Place To Unmask
Quote – The Good Old Days
Will Rogers is perhaps my favorite author, so get used to seeing quotes from him here. He was a plain spoken guy who said what he thought but never in a hateful or disrespectful way. Continue reading Quote – The Good Old Days
My Christmas Tree Brain
All my life I have known that my brain must work differently than most around me. By age 6 or so I made it a regular thing to lie out in the dewy grass at night and just take in all the stars above me. There just seemed to be many more stars back then, but I guess it was because we hadn’t lit up the nighttime sky as much as we do now. Continue reading My Christmas Tree Brain
On Second Thought…
I recently wrote a post about my Core-4 Category Collections that includes Reenactments, Stoplights, Contains, and Reflections. Reflections were meant to be about how glass buildings reflect what is around them. That still fascinates me but I think I have to broaden it a bit to call it “Glass” instead of “Reflections”. Continue reading On Second Thought…
Quote – Unreliable Sources
Don’t be misled by history or any other unreliable source. Will Rogers Will Rogers had lots of things to say about a variety of different subjects. This quote kinda goes along with the one History belongs to the victors Of course, that means that whoever comes out ahead in a conflict is almost always the one to record his story in the annals of history. Sometimes it takes centuries before that mistake is corrected. However, there is another side to this type of thing, and that is judging a person by today’s standards instead of the period in which he … Continue reading Quote – Unreliable Sources

Sci Fi Bug!!
I have been waiting for 16 years to find a way to get this image to you. This photo needed no morphing. It is what just came from the camera. The critter was about an inch long, and the background is an aluminum pipe farm gate. Continue reading Sci Fi Bug!!
Shadows of the Industrial Age
Here is an artsified version of a photo I took at Henry Ford’s Greenfield Village a few years ago. I think it is a good illustration of the now disappearing industrial age. Continue reading Shadows of the Industrial Age
Quotes – Never Tried Anything New…
I once was talking to my boss about possibly designing something that was approaching state-of-the-art, but I wasn’t sure it could be done. He said,
“We don’t mind you taking risks as long as you never fail.” Continue reading Quotes – Never Tried Anything New…
Core 4 – Spotlight & InSearchOfAmerica
During my 55 years of traveling across America, I have taken thousands of pictures, and have only managed to show you a small portion of them. I came up with a couple of ideas to partially alleviate that. But then again, maybe the primary reason for these new subjects is that I want to get my mind off all the insanity presently going on inside the Beltway. 🤬 Continue reading Core 4 – Spotlight & InSearchOfAmerica
Sunrise Fisherman
This was one of my first artsy images. It was created in 2017. It certainly deserves a place on my Clothesline Art wall. As the title says it was taken on the St. Lawrence River. Click HERE if you want to see the complete story Continue reading Sunrise Fisherman
In-Depth Report — End of Life Trauma
I recently published another In-Depth report here at RJsCorner. It is about the 78 days between my wife’s last heart attack and her death. It was probably the most stressful time of my life. I learned a lot of lessons that will be valuable about what to do, and not do, when it comes my time. For those who don’t have ready access to my blog top menu, click HERE to see it. Continue reading In-Depth Report — End of Life Trauma
Building Walls
I want to make it absolutely clear that this post is not about the southern border of the U.S. Although, in some ways it is. Instead, it is about the church and the walls built in God’s name. Continue reading Building Walls
I Am At Peace…
This time of year I am usually struggling with depression. The winter weather usually gives me cabin fever and the ice and snow compound on top of that. But, this year is different. Continue reading I Am At Peace…

Our Ultimate Job is to be Human
There will come a time in the not-too-distant future when all the mind-numbing jobs will be turned over to automation. What will happen to the people who currently have low-skilled jobs?
