A two-part Essay Part One — Interstellar Travel The human species has accomplished some amazing things. In the realm of technology, we have done far more than any other creature alive today or in the past. Some human accomplishments are really quite stupendous. Among these, traveling to the moon and returning safely to the Earth is one of our most phenomenal achievements....

How long can this go on?  The man who has to be told "Sit in YOUR chair" on a cheat sheet demonstrated that he is a glorified Ron Burgundy, reading whatever nonsense his handlers put in front of him. SNL had a skit in '92 about Ross Perot taking James Stockdale for a ride to the country and driving away  after it became clear he was not mentally competent.   Someone needs to drive Biden to...

A busy holiday weekend. A time of cookouts, get togethers and fireworks. Should be a time of pride and celebration. I know some people may not see it right now yet one thing we should have leaned about freedom is that is has to be fought for. It is not easy to get or maintain. I want everyone out there to enjoy the weekend. No matter what one does or doesn't do, remember, we are...

I am worried.  Normally I can shrug things off more easily than I am able to at this moment.  Everything appears to be crashing around me & I have gotten caught up in the wave. My husband, daughter and I are joining in on a family trip (my sister, one of her daughters and her family, my nephew and his family) to grand old Kentucky to see my 87 year old mother the second week in August....

Fitness. Getting stronger, healthier. If we could put aside the partisan political crap for a moment, I could use a little advice. I have never been a fan of exercising on purpose.

A cousin of mine told me to come over to...

They say a generation defines someone from when/where they grew up. That one will always go back to those times and similarities. Sounds nice and all but I have ulterior motives. I do believe it true yet I am going to bombard you all with what I always seem to remember and go back to. From my generation...

In 2016, you weren’t very excited about Hilary… but you knew there was no way that clown Trump would win, so you just sat that one out…You and way too many other people. Then Trump did get elected. Trump, with McConnell’s help, seated 3 right-wing ideologues on the supreme court. Today, those righties, along with a couple seated by GWB, completely ended all federal protection for a...

Litha was beautiful.  A gorgeous day.  We even got into the pool.  I have a few pictures of my baked goods.  I never got a chance to get the main course.  They attacked with a vengeance. and de kabobbed my kabobs before I could snap any pics. My pineapple upside down cake turned out PERFECT for the first time in my life. My Fairy HoneyCakes.  There were six, but one for the fairies. So...

Seven days aboard the M/V Grace — A Wildlife Adventure Even though I begin this article with where it all began for us, Quasar & The Grace, I had to throw in this little teaser with a few wildlife images, since, not to take anything away from the Grace which is wonderful in its own right, the wildlife were the stars of the show. The M/V Grace   — The honeymoon yacht for...
