If You Don’t Need Your $1200 Stimulus Check.
Some of us whose income has not really been affected by the current health crisis and economic shutdown should consider donating our coming stimulus checks to those who are more affected by these times. That is what this post is all about.

What Life Should Be About…
I’m not going to tackle anything too tough in this post. It is just about what life “should” really be about. 🌈 This kinda goes along with the recent post on a change in priorities for the coming American generations.

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 … Continue reading Frank Lloyd Wright
Return of Cottage Industries in the 21st Century

They Will Always Be Among You…
There is a bible verse that Jesus says “the poor will always be among you”. Some branches of Evangelicals twist that verse to downplay his command to help the poor and to be your brother’s keeper. In this post I will twist it to say that those who are self-centered and empathy deficient will always be among us. This post is what to do about that.

The Automated Physician Assistant.
Let’s face it, when it comes to parsing through thousands different words to find a commonality the human mind is no competition for a computer. The same goes for figuring out a condition given multiple symptoms. That is what this post is all about.

Journaling…
I know the title of this post is not a real word at least to my New Oxford Dictionary but I don’t mind stretching the English language a bit once in a while. This post is about how journaling became such an important part of my life.

Hunger Down Or…
These are certainly stressful times. Everything seems to be against us, well maybe not for the kids who can now play their video games 24/7 😆. Pandemics aren’t fun. This post about that is from an old person’s point of view…

It’s Time To Just Outnumber Them…
I have been on my seemingly endless journey to understand the mind of the MAGA cult and I have come to the conclusion that they are by no means a homogeneous group. I have decided that it is useless to try to win them over with compassion, logic, or any other means. That is what this post is about.

Storytelling…
Storytelling is something that is as old as man. Before written languages were developed and taught to the masses storytelling was the only way to pass down history. Why I seem to be obsessed with trying out storytelling is a mystery to me. That is what this post is all about.

The Industrial Revolution
It’s hard to imagine that the above was once cutting-edge technology. Looking back from a hundred years from now, I wonder what people will think the equivalent is today? Continue reading The Industrial Revolution
The Only Thing High About High School Is…
I think it is time to bring our educational institutions into the 21st century. It seems that not a lot has changed in that area since my high school years back in the 1960s, except that none of us had backpacks then, and we spent more time in the classroom. This post is about the first thing that needs to change in this area.

Capitalism Is NOT The Problem…
I’m going to put on my fiscal conservative hat here and try to convince you that class-war is a losing proposition. That in my mind means Bernie Sanders has it fundamentally wrong. That is what this post is all about.

Jesus Christ Superstar…
As I remember it many in the religious community at that time in 1970 thought Jesus Christ Superstar was sacrilegious. But it might just be the primary reason I returned to religion. That is what this post is all about.
