Just another ordinary text exchange between me and Cait…
All joking aside, and even though this kid is probably born-again, that was a pretty great thing for one human being to say to another. Would that we might all take the time to recognize the good in each other and comment on it…… Read More
I have a real problem with the loss of privacy and the escalation of personal tracking to serve us ever more advertising. Verizon is about as bad as any company gets, in my book. Read the following Gizmodo article for yourself. And then take the precautions listed below.
If you’re a Verizon customer, here’s how you can Opt Out:

Let’s get started!
What you’re looking for are your largest, firmest, roundest bulbs. Sure, save a few to give away as gifts, if you have some … Read More
Last night, I had a front row seat for a spectacular display, where three separate lunar events converged— the first of its kind since 1982, and the last we’ll see until 2033.
