In case you haven't noticed, the freedoms of all Americans, and especially those who live in Leftist parts of the country, have continued to be more and more circumscribed. Each day, we learn of more articles and people banned, canceled, and limited. I live in one of those hard-Leftist states, and our freedoms are being …

I just had to do this one, for my friend Cee, who doesn't live too far from me. Circles make the world go round (see what I did there?), and trace the roughly-circular orbits of all the planets and their satellites. Did you know that the ancient Egyptians did not use the wheel? They found …

Autumn is my very favorite season, especially after this year's unusually hot summer in the Pacific Northwest. You could almost say that autumn came early this year, as our trees were dropping brown leaves and dry branches on our house all summer, due to the drought that accompanied the high temperatures. In the Pacific Northwest, …

In our technological world, we beat back the darkness with copious artificial light, enabling us humans to utilize 24 of the 24 daily hours we are given. In fact, there are groups who mourn the zillions of lumens of artificial light that our civilizations pour into the sky. Personally, I prefer to celebrate the fact …

Now that you have been welcomed to Detroit... Saturday night, we went to the Big Boy restaurant just a block from our hotel, and walked both ways. On the way, we saw this sign, and I just had to laugh. You may know that hotels and restaurants everywhere are having trouble hiring enough workers to …

We are in Michigan for a conference at Hillsdale College. This is the Detroit airport when we arrived yesterday. Seattle was a madhouse. Detroit was nearly empty. Here is the sunset from around our hotel. On to Hillsdale today.
My desk at my temp job is in front of a west-facing window. Ever since I started there in July, the afternoon sun bathes my desk in light. One day, I noticed my reading glasses right in the sunshine on my desk. They cast an interesting shadow, making an everyday object a piece of art.
The well-known total narcissism of ex-president Barack Hussein Obama, got some great feedback today, on the subject of his Personal Library in Chicago (NOT his official Presidential Library). It is not news that the Obama Steamroller flattened opposition from the neighborhood surrounding Jackson Park, to the decimation of numerous trees and other natural features which …

I love taking photos of landscapes, since I normally notice the wide view. I don't have a wide-angle lens for my normal point-and-shoot camera, nor my iPhone, which I have been using for most photography for the past two years. I used to pooh-pooh all the people who are constantly using their phones to capture …

Twenty years ago, on September 11, 2001, a band of Islamic terrorists wrought havoc on our homeland of America. They hijacked commercial airliners, and flew them into the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon in Washington DC, and, due to the courage of the passengers, into a field in Pennsylvania. Everyone alive today …
