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 …

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.

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 …

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 …
The so-called president of the United States, whose mental competence is severely in question, has "mandated" that American citizens must undergo an invasive medical procedure if they are to retain their employment for the government, or private-sector government contractors. What makes him think that he has that kind of power? Under the Constitution, he has …

Yeah, that's the standard admonishment to anyone who buys and/or sells stocks. You are supposed to buy under-valued stocks, then hold them until such time as they increase in value, and only sell when the stock is worth more than you paid for it. Most people who trade more than once in a while, and …
When we make spaghetti at our house, the Engineer Husband is responsible for cooking the pasta. I am responsible for making the sauce. Mr. Engineer carefully measures out the noodles, according to what, I have no idea. But he did create a rather nice piece of temporary art.
In 2020, the Washington State Fair in Puyallup (pronounced Pew-al-up), was canceled, like everything else, due to Covid. This year, the Almighty Dictatorial Health Nazis in Olympia and Tacoma "let" it go on. Albeit with a Mask Mandate, requiring that all fair-goers wear a mask, indoors and out, regardless of vaccination status. What did that …
