I try not to get too political because that is a conversation that never goes well.  People always end up defending their stance rather than actually trying to increase their knowledge and see how other people think.  I read Rick Perry’s comments about it making a lot of sense to carry firearms in theaters.   Hmmm….…

We were once tolerant of people with different views.  In this land of “free to be you and me” bullshit (and I will get to why this is bullshit in a moment), we supposedly pride ourselves on accepting different.  We accept different skin colors.  We accept different nationalities.  We accept different genders, religions, sexual orientations,…

I hooked up an LED light to the previously-mentioned solar project.  I was pleased that the battery easily held for twenty-four hours.  The battery could have lasted longer, but I shut it off because the battery was getting low.  We have had three straight days of rain.  During the days, the solar panel will charge…

People are shortsighted.  It is easy to think that outlawing all guns will prevent mass shootings.  That thought completely ignores the fact that criminals and the mentally unstable do not give a shit about laws.  Economics tells us that when there is a shortage due to regulations, there will be a black market to satisfy…

When catastrophe strikes, we try to think how to prevent it in the future.  The problem is, nothing can prevent tragedies.  It is a part of life that we have forgotten in a civilized world. The first thing we try to do is explain why something like this happened.  Why did a wildfire take out thousands of…
