I am fascinated by all the opportunities that technology will provide us as a result of the pandemic. I certainly realize the suffering we have gone through as a result of the last year, but I kinda think when we … Continue reading Technology – After The Pandemic
This is one of my forward-looking posts where I report on a possible future trend. I will admit that most of these type posts don’t just suddenly spring to mind; most actually happen because of something I read about the … Continue reading Sharing Office Space
Forty years ago, Ronald Reagan made the comment “Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem.” I didn’t agree with that then but by adding two words I agree with it now. My slightly revised quote … Continue reading Government Wasn’t The Problem
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

Poor diet is the leading cause of mortality in the United States, causing more than half a million deaths per year.

This post continues from yesterday’s post about my recent experiences with shopping in my very small-town grocery versus going 20 miles to a larger metropolitan area. Covid-19 wise the difference is night vs day. I, like most in the world, … Continue reading Small Town vs Metropolitan…Covid-19
I will say that given this pandemic and what it is doing to our world, making America great again does have some credence now. How we go about that in the “real” world, not the one of self-denial and pretend-facts, is what this post is all about.
