Remember in Men In Black how the planet the cockroach alien was looking for was encased in a marble dangling from the cat, Orion's, collar? It's mind boggling to truly consider an entire planet, let alone an entire universe, containing all we know our planet and universe to contain, so… Read full post »

Recently an ultra-conservative niece commented on her Facebook status “How can OUR president even THINK of having the 9/11 terrorists tried on OUR soil in NYC? Maybe we should ask Obama if he wants to Live in NY while the trial is going on? How does he look at himself… Read full post »

The following was actually written the first week of May of this year on another blog I had started but did not continue.  I decided to take the leap and move that sole post to here.  I didn't do it before because I was still not really ready to share these… Read full post »

A friend just posted a link  to a great series that can be watched online.  I'm rather excited about it myself and thought a few of you might even like it.  Or not.  It's a 12 part series on one of Harvard's most popular courses that asks the questions "What's the… Read full post »

First, sorry Seafarin' Man, it's more Utah talk!

Monday was a beautiful hot, clear day.  I say hot though that is a relative term but it did reach around 90°F.  Today, Wednesday, we have snow down to the benches.  It is even now trying hard to decide on thunder and… Read full post »

You catch my eye the minute I step in through the door
Standing there so tall and beautiful!
What are you? I want you from the second I see you!

I should know, it happened in mine even as we lived in paradise.  We lived in beautiful Molokai, Hawaii when I was 5 and 6.  My parents would rent a camper and we would see Hawaii when ever we could and that is the scene of the crime.  I don't remember… Read full post »

Worried about the world coming to an end in 2012?  The idea doesn't thrill me, that's for sure!  I have too much I still want to do before I have to pay the piper!  Australia is waiting patiently for me to get there for starters. 

Now I have it on… Read full post »

"Have you heard the one about the Southern politician who wants to arrest women for dildo possession?

Unfortunately, it's not a joke, so there's no punchline. There's a real live attorney general in Alabama who actually wants to enforce the sex toy ban enacted by the fundamentalist-dominated state le… Read full post »

You know the world is full of all kinds of sickness, yet still I am shocked at each new variation of the sickness.  Today I learned of another one.  Animal "Crush" movies. Crush films are videos of small animals being crushed by being stepped on.  These films depict instances… Read full post »

Today at my J.O.B. I happened to notice a small paper with form numbers for reordering other forms.  What caught my eye on this form was that there were three part numbers for the same form in three different languages.  What’s so strange about that you ask?  The l… Read full post »
