Your daily dose of Reality and Common Sense
The world lost one of the great comedians this week with the death of George Carlin. There was a time in my youth when I could have recited every line from his AM/FM album, nearly wearing out the vinyl from playing so much.
Well, I’ve made the big move. I’m now living in the Caribbean paradise of St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands.
It’s hard to believe it, but the blog has made it a whole year and I’m still updating it!
When I started my blog, I had already been doing something similar but was hand coding each page and entry. Switching to WordPress made a huge difference in keeping me on track. It no longer feels like a chore to write an entry.
Why are Americans so focused on war? It seems we’ve been desensitized to the term over the years by using it to label political and religious movements.
These days if you want to demonize something, you declare war against it. It’s not really war, you know, with guns, bullets, death and all that other nasty unpleasant stuff, but propaganda tactic used against anything deemed a threat to the status quo.
A few weeks ago I wrecked my car and broke my leg in the process. I totaled the car but it was a POS Chevy Metro, so I wasn’t too worried. Also, I don’t have a need for car much anyway.
I finally got a laptop and a wireless router allowing me to get back online and remotely work with my PCs downstairs. Fortunately, I don’t need to be mobile to work, so I will be getting back to posting here more frequently now.
Cheers!
