When I want devilled eggs, I buy them at Kroger's. But in the process of moving, I have also been doing an archealogy experiment on my "spare table / stovetop" -- as I dig deeper, I find objects from further back in time. In a few days, I will be ...
Harmonic Convergence

I read an interesting article online this past Friday. It was about today’s “Apple iPhone” shindig, and about the convergence of digital devices. I had been thinking about the convergence of digital devices ever since I saw a photo of the new MacB...

I’ve come up with a new, old-fashioned drink. It combines the highball, with the original Tom Collins, and the healing power of quinine from gin and tonic.

Thank God for the platypus. Or maybe not. Why is it that when “creationists” want to claim that they are rational, they always assert that there is no genetic mutation or evolution, and, therefore, humans are not primates? Why don’t they “prove” t...

NOT MY FAULT!

I recently escaped near-certain death. I rode in a car traveling southbound (the MOST TREACHEROUS DIRECTION!!!) down the Pacific Coast Highway from a bit north of Santa Cruz, to a bit south of San Simeon. You should know right here that in an aver...

posted 6 months ago | 2 comments
In talking with “young people”, I’ve found out that around the age of 35 is the cut-off for having a clue what a “pop top” was. As a lifeguard on a sand beach in the early / mid 1970s, I know exactly what the little “blades from Hell” are. It was ...
