The World is not Ending
This is not a sexy post. Repent of your sins for the world is ending. That’s sexy. That sells. We have five years before the climate kills us all. Sexy. Donald Trump is the end of democracy. Sexy and it sells. But like the threat of mass starvation, and acid rain, and (my favorite) the…

How’s it going?
I’m having a good day. I got both boys off with their service providers. I got a little “quiet time” while the house was empty except for Stephanie sleeping. The cats have been decent to each other though Magic has hissed at Cosmos and Ether. And then my friend Danny brought beer. So I’m a…

Chuang Tzu Comic
More than half a lifetime ago I was a student at a very expensive liberal arts college called Reed. I was not a good student. The college is in Portland Oregon and the city was beautiful at the time. I could wander freely because I was also in the military and looked more dangerous than…

Downgoing Men
There’s a line in Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde that goes something about the protagonist being “the last reputable friend of downgoing men.” I identify with that line. I must admit that I very often want to stop their slow slide into depravity. I am a judgmental person and that comes in handy talking to…

Snake’s Day 2025
It’s St. Patrick’s Day and I am a snake that he would try to drive out. I got into a conversation with a Catholic once about what needs to happen to heretics. He eventually blocked me because I want to freely exercise my religion. If you haven’t already seen I am a Mormon and my…
