My sympathies and best wishes go out to those who lost someone in the Fort Hood shooting.  It was a needless tragedy (like Iraq).
This event was yet another study in press coverage.  It is said that one needs to note everything that first appears in the press because after that, the spin gets applied.
The reason [...]

Why not cover all the bases in one post, I figured….
The first thing I noticed is that my Dell laptop (Latitude D531) was more difficult to see.  It looked as if the laptop thought it was on battery and had dimmed the display, but worse.  Last night I tried to live with it, hoping a [...]

Lonnie Zamora, former policeman in Socorro, New Mexico, passed away the other day from heart failure.
With Mr. Zamora’s passing, ufology has lost one of its most solid members.  Lonnie was a witness in a 1964 ufo case that ranks among the most reliable and well-documented cases on record.

Little Stevie Wonder grew up, as we all know.  Now he shares Ann Wilson’s tailor (and that’s the last of the weight jokes, I promise).
I had a rare opportunity to see Stevie Wonder live Saturday, at the Borgata Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey.  It was an extremely pleasant surprise.
I haven’t been to a casino [...]

Next time you have to decide if you can afford a luxury (or a necessity), or healthcare, remember that hundreds of millions of dollars just magically flew our coop and landed in Pakistan.  This was just the most recent spate of hundreds of million dollar bundles that have gone to Pakistan.
But we didn’t send just [...]

There was a time when my living room was my own.  Every now and then the television would actually be turned off, shocking as that may seem.
Not tonight.
Tonight is a World Series game.  I have been out-voted by a multiple and a nephew.  No idea what those odds are.
