I know Phishing when I see it. Three in one day, same ostensible sender, three different people. ATTN: BEST BUY, GEEK SQUAD!

All three emails came from individuals, not the corporate address. GeekSquad is a service of BestBuy, and since I have been receiving these notices for years, they MUST know that scammers are operating in their name. They do not seem to care. duffythis5@gmail.com Delfina Hyatt ywksbwyhsqksjwhys@gmail.com Grayson Aufderhar suddenlydisney@gmail.com Hayley Boehm Those are the three …

Bitter herbs… On Kale, the bitter vegetable

Kale, a dark green, leafy, "cruciferous" vegetable is a fad food. No one, absolutely NO ONE, ever considered it edible until less than a decade ago. People don't usually eat things that taste bad, especially those that taste bitter. Below is what one of my favorite food gurus has to say about Kale. Kale wears …

My lucky day in the backyard

Just sitting out in the yard with my soft drink, listening to the bird songs from the trees around me. Who showed up? Female Downy Woodpecker. https://videopress.com/v/4POomk5p?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata&useAverageColor=true Female Downy Woodpecker But the real show happened a short time later. I am thrilled that my phone captures such good video, silently. https://videopress.com/v/ZtvthE9w?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata&useAverageColor=true Mama and Papa feed …

Human history and the human body. It’s all in how you look at it. Maybe suppressed knowledge is actually helpful. Sama Hoole enlightens us.

This young man's hobby horse is human health, and how our conditions have changed with history. I'll bet you haven't looked at things quite this way before. Nasty, brutish and short. That is the phrase everyone reaches for to describe life before civilisation, and it may be one of the most successful pieces of propaganda …

Just sitting out in the back yard.

In keeping with the America 250 theme, here’s some history you may not be familiar with.

This is a different take on the Boston Tea Party. 252 years ago today, the British Empire closed the busiest port in North America to teach one colony a lesson, and accidentally turned thirteen colonies into one country. On December 16, 1773, a few dozen Bostonians had thrown 342 chests of East India Company tea …

Beauty and Frustration in the Yard

This afternoon, I did some work in my yard, cleaning out and refilling the birdbath and refilling the seed feeder for all our little birds that come by. But before I went out, I just happened to be looking out the glass door, and saw a very fun sight. Yes, it's our entire Red-breasted Nuthatch …

Ghetto Culture is Spreading

And this is not a good thing. Ghetto Culture is a feature of the black community in America, and reveals itself in the increasing numbers of "Teen Takeovers", twerking, demonstrations at high school graduation ceremonies, and mob fights on cruise ships. Since litigiousness increased around the 1990s, public schools have avoided classroom discipline, in fear …
