A few years ago, I thought anyone going on a ladder at heights or getting on a roof was crazy. The thoughts that even the slightest slip could cause the person to plunge to the ground and likely die, I don’t like to think about it. But, last week, a neighbor asked me to help…
I just watched this video posted from a police officer venting about not being able to get people to move over when the are driving. The issue here is simple. The officer is frustrated by her inability to communicate with drivers. So, if I were an inventor, I would not just look at this as…
Earlier this year, I was thinking about converting my home heating system from diesel gas a.k.a. oil to natural gas or electric. I am not under any contract with a home heating oil supply company and have done some research about new systems, energy efficiency ratings and equipment options. I feel energy pricing is unpredictable,…
About ten years ago, I had a vision for a wall that looked a lot like this. Since then, I’ve seen similar walls in man places including as the background on TV shows and in model homes. I like the look as an alternative to a plain wall. A couple of days ago, Lowe’s had…
As someone who spent about three years in college, I am haunted by that period of my life. After college, I spent about ten years in sales when my main focus was on being happy. Nobody wanted to buy anything from anyone if they weren’t nice. Then, after leaving my sales job, I quickly discovered…

While recently considering whether to watch the new Amazon Prime Lord of the Rings series, Elvis and Top Gun, I decided watching on my new headset would make sense. After all, as someone who only received one…
I was just watching a YouTube video overview of philosophy, created by what was likely a student who just read a few text books. But, interesting none the less. The creator said her understanding of philosophy is that is leads thinkers to knowledge and develops critical thinking vs. religion that is more about aligning with…
I’m always up for trying a new food, as long as it won’t likely kill me. Yesterday, I bought a “sour orange” at Giant. Never had one before. I haven’t cut it open yet but apparently it is best use to make “marmalade” or as flavoring for fish, not eaten straight up like a typical…
Got a ticket for using my cell phone while driving. Going to court tomorrow. First ticket in forever. Never had an accident in over 600,000 miles driven. Clean driving record. Against my better judgement, I’m not going with an attorney and am just going to plead guilty with an explanation and ask for PBJ citing…
