I'm still working on a few last minute fixes before I head out to pick up Jackie. So until then, a few of you were interested in what the van looked like before I started the renovation. I've put together a mess of photo's for you to see below. I'll not bore you all with …
“An Articulate President”
"Unfortunately we don't have an articulate president!" This statement and critism about our president I saw in a Facebook thread this morning. It's mostly a true statement, and I'll not argue against it by itself or in context. But we should not confuse having the ability to speak fluently and coherently with having the ability …
Retirement Tour- In a 1961 Metro Van
Our van in the Polebridge July 4th Parade We're only days away from beginning our tour. I've only yet to set the timing, hook up the vacuum advance, air up the tires, install a cheap Chinese diesel cab heater, and pack up. Eight degrees of initial timing and no more than 34 degrees of total …
Pantsuit Envy
This one is sure to get me in trouble with some, but here goes. It happens that whenever I read, wherever I get my news, there are gobs of articles about women seeking equality or protesting their tribe as oppressed and suppressed in society. For me it is actually sad that this taxonomic category has …
Progressive “Christianity”
It's complex, but progressive Christianity is in general a false religious system. It centers around not Christ, but around sinful practices. It is a culturally acceptable rebellion against traditional, and dare I say biblical, truths. It twists scripture and forthrightly denies all teachings it disagrees with. It uses Christianity as it's platform, and sinful behavior as …
Public Opinion – Bad
It's more than amusing, it's odd that people construct notions of acceptability on grounds of public opinion. In fact, public opinions are managed by ideologues and most people are coerced into believing their dogma. At this point we, as a society, are constrained by this moral force formally called "public opinion." The oddity, for me, …
Dialogue in the Darkness
"What would you do boss?" said the minion. "Convince them our government system is superior to their way," replied the "bête noire (the black beast)." "You mean after two hundred years of following the le dieu d'origine éternelle (the god of eternal origin) they will now, out of the blue, chose to become imprisoned and …
Mundane Thoughts
I've given up the sublunary world of Facebook! While I do enjoy keeping up with old friends and seeing photos of babies, food, and events, it is also important for me to think and encourage others! In a days time I found hours could be wasted just scrolling Facebook to relieve boredom. Do you feel …
Ignorance, Guilt, & Gratitude
Ignorance is essential to the existence of the human race; to posses omniscience is to cease to be human and to become gods. Proof- we can only know fragments, so the tragedy of human action and unforeseen consequences produces guilt for our existence, and fate more the result than classic action. So we should not …
The Great Something
Well, that's really cool, you believe in a higher power! What kind of a higher power? I suppose it does not matter what your higher power looks like, but since it cannot be described, it could in theory be disguised as a nuclear blast or maybe an extraordinary magical gerbil. Or maybe like the mystical …
