Black Lives Matter Banner.  The Confederate Battle Flag. You wouldn't think that these two have anything in common, and yet both are perfect illustrations of a common problem; when people assign their bias to another persons cherished symbol. The parallels are actually pretty similar. We are all well aware of the sins that have been committed under both of these banners. They both have...

It seemed pointless to post a week 9 blog just 3 days after week 8.5, and I was too busy last weekend to post a week 10 (these things take quite a while to make), so I'm just going to call this one week 11. It's a couple of days early, but hey, that's close enough (and close enough is the widely accepted standard with horseshoes, hand grenades, and garden blogs, I believe).  It's been a...

Please go Here to Comment Jon Stewart Is Back to Weigh In By David Marchese For all the value Jon Stewart delivered as a political satirist and voice of reason during his 16-year-run as the host of ''The Daily Show,'' it's quite plausible to suggest that the political and media Bizarro World in which we live — where skepticism is the default, news is often indistinguishable from...

We have a problem. The problem being when the Supreme Court legislates from the bench via its rulings. The Constitution is quite clear on the division of powers within the government, and yet the SCOTUS continually overstep their authority through their rulings. I'm going to tackle one of the MOST hot topic buttons there is: Discrimination versus Freedom of Association The Constitution...

All I wanted to do was watch a ghost show (yes I know they aren't real - but sometimes have a few scares in them) to get a little chill when what pops up - DEMONS.  Why are these shows always talking about demons?  I do not find demons scary at all - maybe because I find it all so ridiculous.  OOOO something from hell is trying to possess this woman in East Bumfuck Iowa.  REALLY??????  If...

This is several days late because week 8 turned out to be the wettest yet. I think the ground stayed completely saturated for at least 4 days straight. It killed the tomatoes and the eggplants, and finally got to the peas (not so indestructible after all). One trellis of peas is definitely stunted and yellowing, but the other fared much better, somehow. Unfortunately, the onions and potatoes...

Songs of civil unrest.

Anyone watching the space launch? Not really an article just wanted a place to talk about it.

It's FINALLY time to hit the wet stuff. As of Friday - May 29 in the year 2020, I will finally be on the water with my own creation in the next few weeks that I have been trying to Re-Create since March 27, 2007. Classic 1975 - 15 ft. Starcraft American ! Back Story: I have always wanted my own small classic boat since I first saw my Grandfathers 1959 Funliner runabout. I use...

Sure enough, the year I decide to try a garden blog ends up having one of the wettest springs on record. It was finally supposed to be dry and clear this past week, but of course, it wasn't. Monday and Tuesday were cloudy all day, and cool (again), but at least it didn't rain, and by Wednesday evening the garden was dry and I was able to get the rest of my rows planted. I took some pictures...
