...in these days of Darkness? Who will write down, for others to read, exactly what happens? Who will write the History of events in all the turmoil? Who will record exactly what is said, and meant, by President Donald Trump? How will posterity know exactly what kind of President he was, when the recorders are …

A Zigzag Working Life
I graduated from college in 1971 with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology. Back in junior high school, a psychiatrist had helped me a great deal, so I decided that I wanted to be a psychologist when I grew up. Since you can’t do much with a bachelor’s degree, I applied to graduate schools to get …
Proven right again-Hollywood
It has always seemed to me that Hollywood movies these days have been aimed primarily at an audience of 14-year-old boys. I have noticed a steady stream of new releases that are based on popular comic books, young-adult novels, and other youth-oriented subjects. This week, an article in the Wall Street Journal has proven me …
Dispatches from Furlough, Day Ten
Well, it's the final day of my enforced "vacation", and I guess the last vacation from work I will take in my working life. Boy, that thought just hit me. I have had some time to think over that voluntary-separation offer I received, and I am now planning on some negotiations with my supervisors. I …
Only in Leftist Washington State
Today, the governor of Washington State, Jay Inslee (vying for most-stupid politician with Senator Patty Murray, "mom in tennis shoes"), has communicated that he is contemplating: The State May Release Incarcerated Inmates Early as a Safety Precaution Safety for WHOM?! One more indication that Leftists care more about Criminals than they do about the Taxpayers …
Dispatches from Furlough, Day Eight
As usual, I spoke too soon. Yes, our factory is re-opening next Monday, which is a good thing. Although I expect things to get pretty uncomfortable when we have to call or email our suppliers to cancel or push out deliveries on numerous orders. Believe me, that is the most difficult task for any buyer, …
Dispatches from Furlough, Day Seven
Yesterday was the first day I spent entirely at home. I didn't go out of the house, except to get the mail late in the afternoon. I did catch up on my Wall Street Journal, reading on my bed as usual. Protected by my Fierce Guard Cat. I did 26 minutes on my rowing machine, …
Something lighthearted for today
I have always wanted to do this. Got out the trusty phone and pointed it in video mode while going through the carwash. I love the way the soap and water run down the windshield. Cheap thrills.
Dispatches from Furlough, Day Five
First, here's a little something I recorded last weekend, before my furlough even started. We had a massive hailstorm, which lasted about 15 minutes, and covered the back yard in snow. Some of it was still around in the morning, too. This was from my bedroom window on the second floor, and you can see …
Dispatches from Furlough, a continuing series
Today is officially Day Four of my two-week furlough from work, due to the economic effects of the Wuhan Coronavirus. Last Friday just before noon, we were told that our aerospace manufacturing factory was shutting down for two weeks, due to a falloff in business, including customers pushing out and cancelling orders. For the purposes …
