I love the title of this post. It came from my friends at Reimagining The Future. What do we do when automation has finally eliminate the need for humans to do mundane mind boring tasks? That’s what this post is all about.

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.

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.

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 … 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

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! 🤣

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…?”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 organization. The phrase “Make America Great Again” and “Evangelical” are now combined into MAGA/Evangelical and are irrefutably joined at the hip. I’m sure the roots of today’s cult were from the Tea Party but it … 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.

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.

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…”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.
