I want to share something from my local news...

““Quit your (expletive) job, if you want to save this country.””

The following is a single passage in a local news [local to me] article. If you decide to go to the seed, it is the last entry. This is a section of this news site that provides people with info regarding occurrences in their neighborhoods. Wyandotte, MI is a place where Native Americans once...

My kids are awesome...

“Don't handicap your children by making their lives easy. Robert A. Heinlein”

Every day, my kids remind me of how awesome they are in several ways. My daughter is nearly 18 and I can only remember one time that she said something along the lines of hating me, which she quickly recanted and said that she hated that I was punishing her [I made her scrub cabinets for...

Crazy weather phenomena in our lives...

Despite the fact that I was only about 1.5 years old when the derecho "green storm" of southeast MI hit, I remember it quite vividly. I even verified my memory with my parents. I remember being outside on that warm July day and being in my dad's arms when the sky turned a pea-soup green. It was...

Several Paranormal Personal Experiences

To begin, I've always had an open mind and heart. While I still try to debunk things that occur to or around me, there have been several things I could not. My home was built in 1906, in Wyandotte, Michigan. This is a small city about 10-15 miles south of Detroit. The land was once occupied by...

Obscure forgotten vehicles that were kind of fun to drive

Can you name them all? Some are obvious, because they're labeled, but whatever.   Did you have flashbacks to obscure, publicly rejected, but secretly fun to drive cars? I've owned a couple of these.

Roller coaster of technology

My thoughts for today have to do with technological advancements. There's good and bad in technology. People disconnect from reality, not usually a good thing. People can productively work from home, which is usually a good thing.  Yesterday, my city's internet service went down at about 11...

Home Improvements

I've been getting roof quotes for my home and garage. It's a bit daunting. One company wouldn't even give an estimate because of the pitch of my roof; he recommended another place though. I had one estimate so far and it was for about what I would expect, $14,900 and I was guessing it would be...

The Twilight Zone

“"You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension: a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind....”

Have you ever had a day or week in which you felt like you were trapped in a Twilight Zone episode? This week, more specifically today more than the other days this week, not only are my dreams really crazy, but EVERYTHING has made me feel like I'm in a Twilight Zone episode. Verbal...

Réapprendre le français

Je suis réapprendre le français. J'utilise YouTube, “Learn French with Alexa.”   “Bonjour et beinvenue” is how most of her videos begin. I took French in High School (Freshman year), but that was quite a long time ago. I was actually surprised at how much I actually remembered. I don’t think...

January 29, 2021

“When you died, it was the biggest shock of my life. Nothing prepared me for it. I live each day wondering how I will get through it and then I...”

Not sure how many of you noticed that I was MIA all week last week, but there was a damn good reason that I avoided work and computers on a whole, specifically social media that can be, at times, emotionally stressful. On January 29, 2021, my [step] brother never woke up. He wasn't sick. This...
