Maintenance Problem? Why Apartment Living Is Truly The Easy Life

I left home a little after high noon and returned at 10:40 PM in the evening – only to find that my air conditioner was blowing HOT air. I live in central Texas and during the summer, air conditioning is more essential than oxygen for continued existence. We’ve all faced these little problems – and will doubtlessly continue to confront them. What do you do late at night when there is a major probl

Welcome Aboard: How To Treat A New Hire On The Job To Make Them Feel Valued

When your company hires someone new, you can take it as a threat that maybe they’ll eventually replace you – or you can say, “Thank God, I’m gonna get some help!” If you take the second tack, (and it’s to your extreme benefit to do so,) your task is to get the new hire up to speed and being productive as fast as possible. That covers a huge area, ranging from the trivial, “here’s where the bathroo

Aggravated Aural Assault: The Most Annoying Noises In The World

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, and particularly anyone with any semblance of sanity left, (statistically there must be at least a few that haven’t had their brains – and ears – discombobulated,) WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!! And not just some minor pipsqueak skirmish, but an all out Armageddon aggravated assault! Our modern industrial world has devolved into a continuous ultimate war on our hearing

Gravity: A Call To Action! We Must Stop The Madness

Even a momentary glance at the News will tell you that we are in serious trouble. Trouble – Trouble – Trouble in every direction! We have let things go on for far too long and it is time to get off our duffs and demand that our US Senators and Representatives get off their own backsides and take immediate action! For 334 years we have been disastrously hampered by the most insidious of laws and it

8 Times Crime Went Wrong

was about six years old and my grandfather had a pair of truck drivers that provided my first exposure to the “geniuses” that constitute the criminal element. The drivers were a father and son duo that one Saturday morning, took the back seat out of the father’s car and drove to a farm a few miles north of town. Once there, they somehow managed to load a 400 pound hog into the back of the car.  Turning around, they headed back south of town to the local livestock auction.

Great Stories From The Fairway: Golfers, Golf Clubs & Everything Else

All of the people on this planet (and any other semi-intelligent species in the Universe) can be divided into three groups: 1. Golfers. 2. People that own a set of golf clubs. 3. People that can’t understand why anyone would ruin an otherwise relaxing walk by beating a small white spheroid to death with a bunch of sticks. My dad was a member of the first group. We spent most spring and summer week

When Stupid People Become Scary

They walk among us. Even worse, we let them drive cars and vote and reproduce. No wonder the world is in such miserable shape. I’m of course talking about the terminally clueless morons that seem to more and more permeate our lives. These people are easy to identify. I’m not talking about the ones that are just misinformed, but the ones that turn your mind to warmed over oatmeal with their every u

The Hilarious Christmas Songs We Wish We Had!

When I was a kid, Christmas got kicked off the first week, or sometimes the second week, of December when the train arrived with the fresh cut Christmas trees.  Everyone in town helped unload them – and got a chance to pick out the best.  By the way, it was a steam train – it’s been quite a few years.  Now, we might as well toss in the towel make Christmas a year round event.

When It Comes To Hurricanes? Get The Hell Out!

Quick apology: I intended to write this soon after returning home, but “other stuff” kept me busy and this got wedged and shoved into the background clutter of my cluttered brain. Later when I was writing an article about becoming a pilot, I had to turn off the computers, unplug them from the wall, and consider where I was gonna take cover as I spied a pair of funnel clouds menacing me from the no

Friends and neighbors, boys and girls, the Apocalypse is upon us! Why? Because we humans have lost our friggin’ minds!  We are committing specie-cide! All it takes is a trip to your local grocery store to provide all the proof you need that wholesale insanity is loose in this world!

Electric Vehicle Reality: The Trouble On the Path To An EV World

Electric vehicles are here. There are more and more on the streets and freeways everyday. They are the “wave of the future.” But like all future waves there are associated “costs” when we insert a little reality into the opportunistic future.

The Incredible Andy Serkis, Motion Capture & CGI

The ability to create computer generated imagery has progressed so far that you have to wonder when Humphrey Bogart will star in a new movie and Elvis will release a new video. Answer – it might be a while as it’s harder than it looks. Let’s take a look at some of the problems. The first is that digital characters are generated by computer algorithms which don’t “think” the same way humans do. I’v

Coming Home: It’s A Place And It’s A Feeling

Ninety feet. Just 90 miserable stinking unprintable feet – that’s all I need! I glance again at the scoreboard – still tied 3 and 3. One away and the bottom of the ninth – count, two balls, one strike. My gaze anxiously sweeps around – teammates on first and second – and here I am at third – ninety feet from a win. I look longingly toward the plate, just get some contact – get it in play – but, no

It Could Be Worse: A Fresh Perspective On Having A Bad Day

Life has it’s up’s and down’s so it’s no surprise when you have a “bad day.” Or a really bad day, or a horribly bad day, or an excruciatingly painful bad day, or an “it’s the end of the world” bad day, etc., (pick your own terrifying adverb or phrase.) And when you have a “bad day,” do you get any sympathy? Of course not – because everyone you whine to is having a worse day – or had a worse day –

When ‘Not My Problem’ Can Be 3 Important Words To Live By

Like any other large organization, particularly a governmental organization, the United States Navy has more than its fair share of bureaucracy to contend with. I was continuously amazed at the amount of paper it took to keep ships, submarines, aircraft, and personnel afloat, underwater, aloft, and more or less productive. There was a rumor that the paper to produce an aircraft carrier weighed mor
