I Want a Dragon
I have to confess something. I have never watched a single episode of Game of Thrones. Not five minutes of it. Can't. I cut the cable/satellite subscription years ago. No HBO. I've also never seen a single minute of any Big Brother or Bachelor, lest my eyes would melt out...
May 8, 1886 – Drug addled war vet sells pain relieving tonic
William Adkins 2019-05-08 Comments Off on May 8, 1886 – Drug addled war vet sells pain relieving tonic
Just remember, nothing is new. Clever modern types think they are reinventing the wheel, but in truth, humans have done just about everything. And the stuff we didn't, the aliens did. Cause aliens man. So a war vet comes back from the front, having taken a damn saber to the...
Happy Birthday King James Bible, and GPS
Yep, two things happened on May 2 that changed humanity. First, the King James Version of the good book was published May 2, 1611, after a multi-year effort spearheaded by King James I in 1604. There had been previous translations from the original Greek, Latin and Aramaic texts, dating back...
Siblings!!
April 10 is National Siblings Day. Because everything has to have a day. It was actually started as a way to remember deceased siblings, but the idea gained traction and morphed into what it is today. And you knew this right? Today is the day Will and Harry can argue...
Raising Buttigieg
It's Halftime in America. Ok, that's a reference to a Clint Eastwood commercial. Google it. Anyway, it's halftime in Trump-land. He's come out of the locker room, pumped up, baby! Muller couldn't take him down. 200,000 hand wringing, negative articles couldn't stop him. 600 days of golf, 400 staffers, 60...
Put the gun down
This site is about people. People doing incredible things, sometimes acting a fool, but mostly it's just about observing the nature of us. I'm fascinated by people, and how and why we behave the way we do. The site is modest, so far 1000+ subscribers, and we want to grow....
Democratic Cannibalism
It's safe to say Joe Biden will not be the next President of the United States. At this point it's a reasonable bet Donald Trump will serve a second term. Now before you throw your coffee at the screen, let's be clear, we don't like drifting into politics at 9...
Where is all the good news?
We will just keep this thought short. I just spent an hour looking through every small and midsize town on-line paper I could. Probably 30 cities. You know, middle America, the place were you go to find happy people and sweet stories about regular folks 'doin good. Or something. YET,...
Searching for Steve Jobs
The five year old holding my hand is Katie. Balancing on a fallen tree, a great oak now decaying in a forest floor, she shuffles along in her princess dress and baseball cap, happily trying to catch the larger kids down the path. Kids who scampered only moments ago, with...
The Road Taken
March 26, is an odd confluence of things. First, Robert Frost, the American poet, was born in 1874. 44 years prior, Joseph Smith published the Book of Mormon, and then in 1997, the Heaven's Gate cult in California decided to commit mass suicide to catch a ride on a UFO. So...
