Just get a drink from the mini-bar down in the Dominican Republic and complete knowledge will be yours!

They say opposites attract. I hope you meet someone who is good-looking, intelligent, and cultured.

What is your funniest joke? It can be anything…. Here’s one my son told me that for a kid I thought was hysterical lol… Why didn’t the seagull cross the bay?…. (drumroll,..,,) Because it would become a BAY GULL (Bagel)… Get it? Hahahaha!!!

The way I heard this joke is “if a seagull flies over the sea, what flies over the bay?” So ma…

I have been through many hurricanes, some that blew part of the roof from my house.  It does feel a lot like one of those disaster movies. No power, no phones, no water. One time the block formed an armed militia with watch shifts against looters. That wasn’t really necessary in retrospect because you would need a boat to get in. After a few…[Read more]

I was watching a rerun of some sort of John Lennon tribute. Sir Paul was looking up and talking to John as did several other musicians. I thought it was a bit ironic considering the lyrics to John’s song “Imagine”.

The emergence of life as we know it may be a common, uncommon or unique event….we do not know. Ask a trilobite how “fine-tuned” the “universe” is. We are engrossed in yet another mass extinction as we speak.

Fine tuning my ass. Any such creator god or alien would certainly be a “hack” that just threw a match on the fire and then took off.

I’d get the left side drunk and the right side stoned and then see what I know

He went on and on complaining about having to pay taxes for schools for other people’s kids.

The only president that got impeached in my lifetime was Clinton. I thought he was great, LOL. Trump is not the problem. He is a symptom. All the anti-Trump rhetoric is off target. He did not elect himself no matter how bad the voting system may be.

So lets get in the car and drive away from the coast, out of the city and head for a small town…[Read more]

Do the left of center understand the two party system yet???… Will they continue to split their votes? The presidency is mostly irrelevant anyways when the looming recession exposes how badly US companies and the US public in general are so highly leveraged. So sensitive to interest rates. I yanked millions out of the market just to generate a…[Read more]

Thank you for that awesome summary. I aced poly sci, but it was very America-centric, as are most Americans, blissfully ignorant and non-caring of what works well in the rest of the world.

You aced poly sci and so you are qualified to speak for all of us blissfully ignorant Americans on Memorial Day are you?  Thanks so much!  I am somehow r…[Read more]

Yes, Darwin will win on average and some of the dead are now used as waypoints. “Green Boots” is a well known marker.

K2 is known as the savage mountain and kills many skilled climbers.
