Through a number of city-wide policies, the fast-growing city of Seattle has decided that, because more people "of color" than whites skip out on Library fines, ride the Metro buses without paying, live in tents on the streets, commit property crimes, and use and deal drugs out in the open, that those crimes and misbehaviors …

This is what happens when you are in the bathroom stall at work, and you are given something to think about. At my workplace, which is a factory, many women of every possible ethnicity use the bathroom. Some of those women are not the most fastidious, and leave various kinds of trash behind. The Facilities …
This past week, I did something I've never attempted before...since until now I had no need to do it. Over at Ricochet.com, one of our most beloved members did a post about her unfortunate situation. She is elderly, and living alone. She lives in Montana, and we met her in 2017 at the big Montana …

I celebrated my 70th birthday in April. Just before that, I made it into the Twenty-First Century. Yes, I bought my very first smartphone. Thank you, thank you for all the applause, much appreciated.

You can decline to use Facebook, and there are alternate search …

...but I find myself in sympathy with a particular group of Muslims, whose culture is facing extinction. Over the last year, I have been reading in the Wall Street Journal about how China is closely observing all its people, placing cameras equipped with cutting-edge facial-recognition software, wherever the people are. China is building a ubiquitous …
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is in the midst of a rather interesting scandal. It involves a Cabinet member who was demoted, and charged that it was because she resisted political pressure from the Prime Minister's office in a criminal case involving a big Quebec company. That Cabinet member just happens to be female, and …
Over the weekend in California, my eye was caught by the many interesting patterns I saw in the hotel, and outside in nature. Some were repeated, some not. A guy at the hotel front desk told me that the carpet pattern in many places was the Golden Poppy, which is found in California. This pattern …
