Leaving Bakersfield and bound for I-40 and the Mojave desert out of Barstow, we found ourselves at the last freeway entrance before the end of town. This was in 1971, and at that time, freeway entrance ramps in California sported signs saying “Pedestrians Bicycles Motor-Driven Cycles Prohibited,” and that was the point where we thumbriders stopped. Usually.   On this day, it proved to be a catchment. Throughout the day, more and more wayfarers arrived at this, the last stop b

Cyanoacrylate, our friend. Our super friend in its superglue role.     Now most of us are familiar with superglue in some form, and it is truly useful. And a little, um, awe-inspiring for its firm and fast grip.     That’s perhaps why it is often sold in tiny tubes: People tend to only use it when absolutely necessary, and the bigger tubes often dry out, i.e., solidify before one gets a second use out of them. So, the tiny tubes are basically single-use items.     That’s for

So, yes, I’ve been away and perhaps overwhelmed with all that is happening at once. There have seemingly always been disparate situations...

Observing developments in the U.S. political arena is disheartening. While the Trump camp carries on, it’s increasingly apparent that the...

Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. -      Mao Zedong   Following a mass shooting during a parade celebrating the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl win on Valentine’s Day, gun control is once again in the news and remains an unsettled issue, and I suspect it will persist as such for a long time.   Citizens of the United States are citizens, not subjects; i.e., they are equal partners with the government in possessing authority under our constitutional system and all

Not a masterpiece, but I had done it and so wanted to be able to use it while Joey's still in office. I wouldn't bet on him now with his...

The World Economic Forum just ended its 2024 confab in Davos yesterday, and the distinct impression I get is that it has "jumped the...

Well the Colorado Supreme Court did some dubious deliberating and disqualified Donald Trump from being on the Ballot in 2024 . "It’s the first court to find that the disqualification clause of the 14th Amendment applies to Mr. Trump, in addition to affirming that he engaged in insurrection. ... Mr. Trump is expected to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. Tuesday’s ruling applies only to Colorado, but if the Supreme Court were to affirm it, he could be disqualified more broadly.

What about homelessness and the explosion thereof in the recent decades? Yes, it predates Trump. Contemporary mention, and the beginnings of the stoplight beggars, came in the late 1970’s when the economy was suffering double digit inflation and became a staple news item during the early 1980s. One thing you see mentioned often is the change in hospitalization/confinement protocols for the seriously mentally ill, but that doesn’t even begin to address the large numbers of hom
