My friend, attorney Robert Barnes, tells us that we ordinary, tax-paying American Citizens can have an outsize influence on current affairs, when we communicate our preferences, get together online and in the real world, and let the forces of evil in our country know that WE are the basis of society, not they. We, the …
Thanks to my iPhone 13 Pro, I am now always ready with a camera, when a likely subject comes into view. It's fun to capture scenes that seem to just have been waiting for me to come along and capture them. I got this one at my local outlet mall. The display of old sewing …

In Japan, the word Kanban means "sign", and those companies who use the Toyota Production System of just-in-time inventory control see and use a lot of Kanbans. I just started a new job at a Japanese-owned company, and I saw a sign in the Ladies restroom which I had not ever seen before. It took …

Yes, George is turning over in his grave, seeing what is becoming of his (formerly) great country. Biden and his entire family are beholden to Communist China. Biden "visited" the border last week.

With 2022 coming to an end, I guess it's time to look back at what we captured on the digital equivalent of film. With the vast majority of my photos taken with my always-ready iPhone 13 Pro, that's a lot of photos! I'm going to start in the very near past, and work backwards. Today, …

Anyone reading the menu can see what its two main ingredients are. Did they really need the disclaimer? My bet is their legal team required it. I will spare the restaurant by not …

On Friday, September 9, Hubby and I again went to the Washington State Fair in Puyallup (in Pierce County). This year's fair was much freer than last year's, when masks were required even outdoors! I did not wear a mask last year, in defiance of the Health Nazis, and even though they were not required …

City water all over America is normally inexpensive and available for people and animals to drink. Depending on where you are, the tap water may be "hard" or …
I checked, and I can't find any place where dessert and desert happen at the same time. So I thought I'd highlight a little of both. Multiple times, we have gone to Arizona for Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminars. Of course, much of the state is desert, so it's really simple to take photos of …

She wrings her hands and cackles: "Yesssss, she played right into my hands with this week's black-and-white challenge. Little does Cee Neuner know, but our house is stuffed to the gills with things piled and stacked. It was just a matter of choosing which stacks!" Let's start with the bedroom shelves. Every one of these …
