I give it another six years before the incessant warnings about “global warming” become warnings about “the next Ice Age”. Again. The trend for fall snow across the northern hemisphere has been increasing, defying the forecasts over the last two decades for snows becoming an increasingly rare event. The 10-year running mean of the Boston …
How about a jacket that has a built in backpack. It would need straps, but they can be built in, invisible and more comfortable as the arms woudl take some of the load as well.
Honestly, the bomb threats show how divided the country is. Automatically both sides think the other did it. The Constitutionalists/Nationalists think it is a false flag operation staged by the Socialists/Globalists and the Socialists/Globalists think we are purposely targeting them. The Leftist Media automatically attacked the President and claimed that he caused this by being …
For a full week after Christine Blasey Ford’s allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh became public, I said nothing. While I have a healthy skepticism of politically-timed accusations, there was no way to know. So I kept my mouth shut and looked at the evidence, because that is what Americans are supposed to do. …

Most people, even followers of Stoicism, don’t know much about Antoninus. This is sad because he was a truly great man. “Antoninus would have had the reputation …
In Aaron Thier’s novel The World Is A Narrow Bridge, one of the main characters is a runner. His wife teases him for his dedication to this hobby, which he claims settles his mind and makes him feel less crazy. She jokes that “it’s a craziness problem that makes you run and run.” His reply …
The line from Confucius was that “Virtue is never solitary; it always has neighbors.” What he meant by that was that good behavior and good thinking is contagious. In a way, virtue is like the homeowner who moves into a rundown neighborhood and through that investment and the cheerful improvements they make to their own …
There’s an enormous difference between being a story writer and being a regular person. As a person, it’s your duty to stay on a straight and even keel, not to break down blubbering in the streets, not to pull rude drivers from their cars, not to swing from the branches of trees. But as a …
