The best thinkers are not who you think!

I'm seldom surprised by the parroted thoughts of elite, highly educated people. They all seem to get their information from their peers or through mainstream sources. Even my friends, the ones I like best, seldom add much to the days story or significant events. If I see one post I'll see a different version regurgitated …

Dirty Old Hat

I love this old hat It is intellectual snobery to think when one man's faith is thrown out Christianity itself is discredited. One must first ask, "why did he toss it away?" One argument, the one I am making, is that true faith does not die as fashions do and faith does not go away …

Megan Rapinoe

Megan Rapinoe, I guess she is pretty good at women's soccer. I also guess she hates Trump and everybody who likes him (I have not followed the story and know little more than this about her). I saw that she, like so many, does not want to go to the White House, that going there …

Hate Speech

I'm seeing more and more articles on the regulation of hate speech. At first glance this sounds great. They say, "Let's stop threatening speech that advocates violence and stop speech that "attacks a person or a group on the basis of protected attributes such as race, religion, ethnic origin, national origin, sex, disability, sexual orientation, …

Not So “Bad!”

Someone, a friend, once used the word "bad" to describe President Trump. It's a simple word. It can mean many things but it is used most frequently to mean some form of low quality, unpleasantness, or evil. For my friend, I understand completely her use of the term to describe her hate of the President. …

Friendship’s 5.03.19

We left Brownwood Texas happier than a clam digger on Martha's Vinyard. Great people hosted us, fed us, took us on safari, and let us fish their "tanks" for huge large mouth bass. We got to see a perfectly planned and executed, small town, war memorial, and we attend a bible study with the locals. …

Catching up! 4.27.19

Thinking back.... We left the white sands of Fort Pickens and camped at Davis Bayou in Ocean Springs Mississippi where we had our fill of the best and cheepest crawfish. We paid something like $3.95 per pound and further along we saw it for more than $8.95 per pound. The campground where we stayed was …

Blessed

I've see seen a lot of road and lots of stuff on our retirment tour; almost six thousand miles and many, many dozens of cities and sites. Surely, so far, we have chosen our favorite sites, parks, campgrounds, restaurant's and roads. But we have also had fun and emotional experiences along the way. I must …

Gainsville to Fort Picken’s

It has been a quite busy trip and it has also been difficult to find time to write. Tonight is the exception. There is a line of strong thunderstorms heading our way and lightning is flashing all around us. It's only 9:30 pm at present, and we retired early, it was a long day and …
