Is all there is so right? Or is all that is right is wrong? These questions are left to the one who may Wonder

National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day

Today is the day when you can enjoy these scrummy treats without having to feel guilty.

In 1937, Ruth Grave Wakefield took her invention of the chocolate chip morsels and her curiosity of how they would taste in a sugar cookie and created this heavenly cookie loved by all ages.

There is something so enjoyable about eating one straight out of the oven, closing your eyes and having the warm chocolate goodness melt in your mouth.

So thank you Ruth Grave Wakefield! Without your ingenuity, generations would have missed out on the bliss that is known today as the Chocolate chip cookie. In honor of today--go enjoy the delectable treat!

Republicans like to compare their favorite president with the other guy leaving out some important details. Maybe you remember Jim stating that Obama fixed lots of things and was getting the economy in a positive direction. Remember?
Trump comes along and rides the crest of the wave. He takes credit for anything good and sure enough Republicans forget how we got there. So lots of things happen in four years and the newly elected president inherits lots of problems that were building that he didn't create. Oh, I expect the usual handful of 'believers' to start in... grand, are you back yet?

When Obama was campaigning, I remember a blogger calling him 'an empty suit' and that he would fail miserably.

It must have been around that time I blogged about the Presidential simulator.
What a great idea. Test you knowledge and skills needed to run a country.

If you want to be a pilot, you need hundreds of hours on a flight simulator BEFORE you are allowed to actually fly with an instructor to solo for your license.

In the early days of PC computers I had a program called BABY. It was a simulator yo rate yourself being a nanny. You've got a baby, food, diapers, wake time, sleep time, accidents, your energy level and have to go through taking care of the baby.
It was tough... really tough to keep the baby fed, clean, rested without running out of energy.

A friends kid had a simulator program called CITY and many of the same scenarios.were involved. Budgets, taxes, population, traffic, utilities, crime, police manpower, etc. Literally everything one would encounter running a city.
Hopefully, they had parameters for difficulty so you have a chance of a steep learning curve.

Many presidents are attorneys and achieved some professional level into politics, like being a current governor running for president. People have to rely on trust the person running for office will be the right choice. Too bad it's not so cut & dry as lots of great ideas from either side get blocked by the opposite side.

In my own business, I was able to take an existing plan and improve on it. What I didn't like was upper management making changes without consulting me... the person they put in charge of the operation. That's a topic for another blog.

Indeed, the Presidential simulator would be an extremely complex program to train on and the data would have to be as accurate as possible.
Russia taking Ukraine, funds and weaponry to the calculations, What European countries have to offer aid, limits, etc. Changing one date or parameter a percent or two could totally affect the simulation outcome. Chip shortages, ships with perishables in containers circling the port waiting for truckers to cease protesting and get back to work.
Step up, it's your turn at the Presidential simulator...

Books like movies can transport you to another world. Time passes quickly and problems fades when one is engrossed in a book.

Are you one of those who loves the smell of paper when reading a new book? Or do you go for those books saved electronically?

This blog is about a race of hairdressers from another dimension who came to Earth thousands of years ago and taught our ancestors long since forgotten techniques of personal grooming. Intelligent comments are welcome, but nay sayers will be treated with an inadequate response.



This is from the sarcophagus of the great Mayan sovereign Pacal. He was renowned for his natty haircuts, and this relief depicts him sitting in a remarkably modern looking barber’s chair.

Another unique feature of my homeland...

Pitch Lake is the largest natural asphalt deposit in the world. Located in the town of La Brea on the island nation of Trinidad and Tobago, the lake holds about 10 million tons of asphalt and is approximately 250 feet deep. Pitch Lake has a unique microbial diversity composed of both bacterial and archaeal colonies. Many new species of microbes have been discovered there, and even new species of fungi have been found in the lake. The lake is believed to exist at the intersection of two faults, and oil from deep underneath has seeped to the surface. When the more volatile and lighter compounds evaporate, the asphalt remains. Today, Pitch Lake is a popular tourist spot. A small museum has been built at Pitch Lake showcasing the history of the lake. Asphalt mining is also an important economic activity in the region.

I encourage people to watch this short education documentary. Social contagion is very real and is having a very real effect on the children of today via a mix of social media and ultra liberal groups that are pushing radical ideologies that fly in the face of common sense, biological reality, and which are increasingly being pushed on children via the education system. This particular documentary relates to Britain but this issue pertains very much to Western countries as a whole.

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.
Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost a child while living in the White House.

Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln.
Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.
Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.
John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.
Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.
Now hang on to your seat.
Lincoln was shot at the theater named "Ford."
Kennedy was shot in a car called "Lincoln" made by "Ford."
Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.
And here's the "kicker":
A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland.
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.
AND...................:
Lincoln was shot in a theater and the assassin ran to a warehouse...
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and the assassin ran to a theater...
