    Four Dead In Georgia High Schoo Shooting

    It is never the same old, same old. When your child walks out the door never to return, it's not the same. No matter what the cause that void is with you forever. Think again.

    Four Dead In Georgia High Schoo Shooting

    So many lives damaged in ways that won't heal through generations. The first one I remember was Columbine, but sure there were others before and too many since.

    Interesting cars from the past.

    The Edsel was probably way to much ahead of its time. I was pretty young when those boys next door had them. All the kids in the neighborhood were in awe of them.

    James Darren, passed at 88

    That's a real blast from the past. Kind of liked his Bohemian style of music. Don't recall his movies being block busters on my list.

    Interesting cars from the past.

    I visited a museum that had the Tucker automobile on display, and remember having two brothers as neighbors each of whom owned an Edsel. Neither car succeeded in the auto but for different reasons.

    What is your favorite kind of movie?

    Anyone seen the new Reagan movie? Is it a realistic portrayal of his life? Worth seeing or should we wait for it on Netflix?

    Green Subsidies don’t reduce carbon emissions much if at all.

    Jeff Bezos just took possession of his 5th jet, a G700. As an example do you think he cares about the environment. When Al Gore was distributing a documentary predicting the flooding of the nation from rising oceans he was also an investor in a company to buy and sell energy credits, and owned...

    A woman sent herself an Apple AirTag to help catch thieves

    Kind of ingenious of her to catch them that way. A lady left her home for work one morning after putting her Doberman dogs in the fenced back yard. Realizing she left something important at home she returned to find a van in her driveway and thieves inside ready to start loading the van. She...

    Some people seem to have bad luck follow them around.

    The bad choice was made by the drunk who was driving under the influence. It is very sad that her children were victims, I just can't measure luck as a factor.

    What do these three words have in common?

    I'm more than a little OCD. Most morning over my morning coffee I work through 6 word puzzles on the NY Times app on my phone. I do them in the same order and like the feeling when I solve them with reasonable effort. It gets my mind working, but I don't feel any frustration if I fall short on...

    Green Subsidies don’t reduce carbon emissions much if at all.

    My cynical view is that subsidies of that nature are nothing more than a scam almost like a protection racket.

    Price Controls on every day goods. are they a good option for ordinary people.

    Did you turn the extortionist in to the authorities? Seems like in a small town that would be a safe route, more so than perhaps in a large city where something like that might be a little more risky. Just thinking out loud.

    Unlawful Bus Riders Who Sneak Free Bus Rides

    A little different but we saw this happen. When having breakfast at Ihop my wife noticed two men at a table who finished their meal. The check had been delivered and ignored while they finished up eating. Then one of them got up and left, while the other one folded up the check and went to the...

    Why don’t people boycott rate hikes?

    I don't think those movements generally work. I don't sign petitions either for the same reason. I can chose not to buy or to buy on the merits as I see them. Example during these days one of the most inflated priced items is toilet paper. So when I look at that I see a bulky item of light...

    Some people seem to have bad luck follow them around.

    Do they have bad luck or do they chronically make bad choices? I've never been big on the concept of luck. If I were driven along that line then I might have indulged in gambling, which I don't. I do know that I have been spared an untimely death a number of times, but I don't explain it by good...
