Planned, but random, periodic fasting---CS or otherwise.

I recall actually pontificating to others, how obesity was, excepting in very rare genetic syndromes, a matter of self control. If fat, you are a slob, just deal with it. Knowledge of the adaptive relationships between the hormones secreted by our di

Fridge Magnets

An awareness of my need to find a means of displaying useful information in such a way as to keep it beyond the bounds of forgetfulness came upon me a while back. A timetable of refuse collection days would be a good example of such information. It

My walk

On the other hand...

I'm noticeably left-handed. Thankfully, I wasn't hampered growing up left-handed and it's not that I cannot do things with my right hand. My preference is to be left-handed. For the record, I take offense to being called a 'South-Paw' and cannot un

How we learned about ancient Rome

Much of what we have learned of ancient Rome came from their coins. Their coins documented a lot about ancient Rome's existence. If the U.S. takes a crap, it is a good thing they documented a lot on our coins too. Good job.

covid-19 humor

Which are you ...

When the chips are down, when the crisis strikes, some of us will be heroes, some of us will put self and loved ones first, some will dance for attention and some will trample the old and the very young to get to perceived safety. Heroes tend to

Macbang (Sp?) Videos.....

....apparently, millions of folks, with otherwise WAY too much to do in life, watch others binge consume junk food, VERY junk, on line. Adds that special "je ne sais pas qua", to the already expansive sorts of porn spin off behaviors in cyberspace. H

The Yard Sale...

I'm at the tail end of clearing my house before the (rescheduled) closing date and can be a bit choosy as to whom I sell things to. One guy offered nearly nothing on a bedroom set and tried to pressure me to allow him to remove a piece at a time. Sma

Adding Harry Hains to the 27 Club...

I see this morning the cause of death for Australian actor/musician Harry Hains is listed as fentanyl intoxication. His mother Jane Badler stated he battled addiction and struggled with mental illness. “He was 27 and had the world at his feet.”

Welcome back my friend...

I knew we would meet again. DST you bring more light into my day. Not that moving the clock actually makes the days longer (some people dispute it) but I'm okay getting up before sunrise. Really!

Old/New World Order...what is it

For there to be a new world order, there would have to have been an old world order. What does that mean? new and old..... is pretty obvious what that means. Old, something that has been and might be coming to an end. New, is something tha

Connecting Statler and Waldorf

Last time I commented on something I found original, interesting, and a little controversial, I found myself adding a disclaimer to fend off the nasty comments I might (MIGHT) get in response. Uh no. Deleted my disclaimer. IF someone wants to take is

Churches

Throughout my life, my association with the Church has been very casual. I daresay I must have been christened in one, but I don’t remember anything at all about that. As an adult, it seems difficult to avoid churches altogether; lucky, in deed, is

The bond and equity markets......

.....among other things, respond to greed and to fear. As do prices of real assets, such as gold. This huge drop in these stock markets worldwide, speak of fear. Many see the possible pandemic as the source. The clairvoyance of money? I'm into cash.

The Seventh Continent....Antarctica...

...Now a protected world heritage site, by treaty, until 2048. Greenpeace courage and persistence did it. No shortage of opposition. Americans had a nuclear reactor there, and blew it up, after decommissioning. Idiots. French commandos bombed an acti

positive thinking

Just over a week ago I never knew what a blog was. So now I do i thought i,d have a go at this blogging lark. At my age I,ve found that a lot of my generation have a negative attitude and I had one up until a while ago. I m

Ahh.... the smell of burned dust...

It went down to 40 Fahrenheit with winds of 25 miles per hour last night and I put the heater on for the first time. As expected, the place filled with a burned smell as the dust on the heater coils burned away. Defeating the purpose of heat, I had

I have been retired for many years now and still I find myself waking up at 4 AM - time enough to get ready for 6 AM commute to a 7 AM job start. This behavior makes no sense, but there is - firmly ingrained in my life.
