Julian Huxley 3

Don’t Interfere with Our Sexual Mores

Once the late Julian Huxley, a leader among Darwinists, was asked on the Merv Griffin show, ‘Why do people believe in evolution?” Huxley honestly answered, “The reason we accepted Darwinism even without proof, is because we didn’t want God to interfere with our sexual mores.” According to I Don’t Have...

A Little Ironic

I called Best Buy today regarding the status on the repair of my laptop. (grrrr…don’t get me started, it’s been over two weeks now). Anyhow, I listened to my options and pushed “4” for the Geek Squad. Them: Hello, Geek Squad. Me: Hi, I am calling about the status on...

Speaking of Acorn

I know there is a lot of talk about ACORN these days, and I almost didn’t notice the ABUNDANCE of acorns that are falling from our trees. Not only are they early and plentiful, they are BIG. The mere girth of these things are making awful sounds when they fall...

Baltimore Colts 1968 and 1970

Today we had to close up the pool for the winter. For some reason, I found myself in the building and in an old box in the corner where my dad kept rusty old tools, I found a few big envelopes. Curious, I opened them and found two group photos...

Martin Luther King Was a Republican

The title of this post surprised me at first. I don’t recall ever being taught MLK’s party affiliation in school. No doubt they don’t teach it now. To make sure, I checked and re-checked. According to Human Events: In that era, almost all black Americans were Republicans. Why? From its...

Our Candy Comes from Mexico

These days, the odds are good that the candy we buy comes from Mexico. From jellied hearts to chocolates, Mexico’s candy exports to the United States have more than doubled since 2002 as cheaper labor and sugar draw U.S. candy-makers south of the border. The latest candy company, Hershey’s. Why...

A Candid Moment with Computer Problems

Going through my old photos, I found this photo taken of me long ago. Obviously I was in the middle of some computer issues. What a blast from the past, as if I remember right, this my very FIRST computer, a Packard Bell 486 Windows 3.11. Does anyone remember this...

Route 100 Wildflowers

I remember the first time I ever saw glorious wildflowers by the highway, and that was while driving through the south of France to Spain. I don’t know when the highways of the United States started doing it, but in Maryland it’s been a few years and I love wildflowers...

Life Is Short

Yesterday I got a shocking reminder that life is very short… As you grow older, you’ll find the only things you regret are the things you didn’t do. ~Zachary Scott Life is not lost by dying; life is lost minute by minute, day by dragging day, in all the thousand...

Britney Turns 21

Seems like yesterday we went to Britney’s second birthday party… Today she turned 21. Earlier in the week Britney messaged me on Facebook to see if we were coming to her party at Cheeseburger in Paradise. I had never gone there and all week, my mouth was watering to try...

Cammy and the Beautiful Day

Typically John will wake up in Australia on his Thursday morning (still my Wednesday afternoon) and ask, “What did you do today?” My answer is usually, “Play with Cameron.” Summer’s heat and humidity seems to have been replaced by a cool, crisp, sunshiny days here, perfect weather to take Cammy...
