Thoughts, Philosophy, Life and Love
This morning I have happened upon a theory. I think the Culligan Man is stalking me. This morning, as I went through my usual morning ritual of getting my coffee and reading my email, I heard a loud bang and crash in front of my house. I looked out in time to see the Culligan … Read more
I am insignificant… at least in the eyes of most of the world. There may be some who would disagree with that statement, like my Mother, wife, relatives and, I hope, my friends. To the rest of the world, however, my life, and it’s passing, will remain largely unnoticed. There will be no state funerals, … Read more
I have gone back over this idea more times than I like. It is a hard topic for me because this is so personal for us all. It involves the detainees at Guantanamo and what rights they should and should not have. Because this is such a touchy subject, I am going to write this … Read more
Listening to Paul Harvey a few days ago, he told a poem about November. I wish I could recall the name of the poem and if you, reading this, happen to know the name, I would be pleased if you would share it with me. There is an electricity in the air this time of … Read more

As Thanksgiving and Christmas are just around the corner… I want to remind everyone of a program that often gets forgotten. Many areas where there is a military base have a program called “Adopt a Soldier” for the holidays. We have hosted a couple Marines for Thanksgiving, and it is great. I am told that … Read more
Hello all… For those reading this in the Fire Zones, I hope all is well. Please stay safe and if the call comes to evacuate, please consider your life and safety and that of your family. Life and Limb are more important than all those things you buy and collect… even the XBOX 360’s. 😉 … Read more
This is a little newer that what I usually do, but I would like your opinions or reflections on a couple topics… Just to feel out the few readers that I have. 1. What if JFK had survived? There was an excellent book written by George Bernau that reflected on this. He changed the names, … Read more
