Thanks In the Face of Hardship

November 24, 2011 | 1 Comment

This Thanksgiving Holiday follows others without a break; with hardship on some, confidence lost for many and uncertainty for everyone.  We all have good reason to be suspicious.  But: The story for Americans after a year of trials is to take a day for thinking of the positive and spending thoughts on what is good, [...]

He’s Back!

The grid failed due to wet snow and high winds last night about 12:55am.  So no post was made.  But what was written is now on the server to load tonight. We’re pretty busy here without the grid feeding 7500 volts to the transformer.  An 8 hp 4000 watt gasoline generator is powering this writing [...]

Happy Labor Day Wishes

September 5, 2011 | Leave a Comment

Today is a celebration of Labor, people working to meet needs, acquire their wants and obtain some wishes come true.  For many, not enough or for everyone that is a truth today.

Dave Chase writes in Linkedin’s Tech Crunch about [...]

Fightin’ over the Forests vs. Trees

Your writer has had an interesting day.  I returned from the API provided trip to Washington D.C. yesterday evening. (I’ll get to that next week, it’s a lot to study, distill and cover.) Since Christmas morning I’ve nursed along a cracked tooth.  Now if you have an abscessed tooth, take folk’s advice and don’t fly.  [...]

A Happy Holidays Challenge

December 24, 2010 | 1 Comment

There’s the politically correct headline, but since so many think “Merry Christmas” is some sort of mental assault, this writer would point out that Happy Holidays is a sort of mental assault on Christians.  A cynic might say it’s just an assault on a majority, which incidentally practices forgiveness, so it’s really easy to get [...]

It’s Time to Format and Re Install Government

December 15, 2010 | 7 Comments

Here’s a little intellectual exercise – look at the nations of the world and compare the extent of government intrusion with the economic growth and societal standard of living.  It doesn’t take a college degree or high school diploma to instantly see the more government there’s less growth and lower living standards. Government comes in [...]
