breaking the pattern Dixie you sound perfect for a singer in a really cool band. Just do it. Even if you have to put the band together yourself. Do whatever you think you want to. Make it your way. Beats lots of other ways to have a small second income and may well turn out to be something...

I know my fellow males There are a whole bunch of them who will do anything- they just don't tell their buddies. And that is a good thing cause we don't want to know.

In the meantime We are still stuck with too many offenders and not enough jail space. They are among us. It makes my head hurt just thinking about it.

As time goes on The sheer costs involved when incarcerating people and trying to track them will drive a new procedure. Sadly it will be quite effective and will slowly refine into a whole science of reconstructing humans for living in developing societies. Because what the morals and laws of...

The wild animals are blasted with chemicals too The mess that we have made is everywhere. The lessons learned from DDT about the destruction of the food chain were a real eye opener but those eyes tended to go back to normal when banning it here started the food chain recovery. DDT is still...

Any place that has Dixie and Sara in it is worth saving... I vote for keeping Arkansas!

I hope the lady who started this thread is okay What was happening sounded really rough to me, losing her hearing, new baby, way reluctant family understanding, lifetime shyness problems. I wish her all the best. I admire her willingness to reach out. We all know how tough that can be.

I have known several triple tough older fellows over the years that all said the same thing: those spoonfuls of cod liver oil they took every day when they were growing up is what did it.

have always liked time travel themes We may not get to see real time travel but it is out there ahead of us. Anyway my Christmas day travel story was last Christmas. I flew up to the job I had at the time in the Arctic. My shift change happened to fall on that day. This particular day I was...

It is happening and that is what I am looking at. A great source of just plain old news is infopig.com Lots of articles about what is happening over in Greenland. Interestingly enough industry is pretty excited about the ice melting lots of opportunities for metal extracting and oil well...

the great frustration The great frusttation with our present business model is that the pursuit of continuous growth brings forth new products daily. There is not enough time or infrastructure to provide adequate testing or quality control. Lots of these new products are simply not asked for...

I want to see friends and family find happiness in their endeavors. I want to see my country pull out of its tailspin but not by way of being the biggest waster of resources on the planet, a whole lot less brainwash and a whole lot more substance. They have burned me out with the b.s. I hope...

I am thinking about how cool it would be if we had log auctions in the Northwest. This is one way we have killed our own economy by not making the basic materials accessible to the little guys. Some of these places we export raw materials to pay less than we would right here. I read of a...

Ouch

There are other Anakin's? Here is the first time I have ever seen the name. It is cool sounding name! Well I am off to the store for some milk. Another Christmas is almost here - it is always a white one here in this part of Alaska- last I checked it was 3 degrees below zero. I wish I had...

I still have that truck - it is a 1990 half ton Chevy with the 4.3 and a stick. It has kind of a cool tranny w/overdrive that has held up well to all my third gear accelerations to pass everyone on the road. Great engine for me not so powerful I go kill myself with it. Now I am all calm and...

These are things I do watch - I take good care of vehicles but that one got right by me cruising along that nice road checking out all the oil well drilling activities while here in Alaska the companies were scaling back and claiming lack of financial incentive. Then whoa it was tow truck time-...

Pilot bread with butter and a slice of cheese.

Driving through Canada I was driving south through Canada one winter and at a little, very little, place called Bucking Horse I look up into my rear view mirror and I have a wake of smoke behind me, Whoa Nelly!! Whoa... I brake rapidly and duck into a stop at a turnout for a well drilling road...
