Would You Go Back in Time?I think I had an episode of near insanity today at work. I think it was due to what I was doing at the time. Because it's all so absurd! I was standing there this afternoon in this clerk's office talking about doing DCR's on CAR's, and all that kind of stuff (and if you know what I am talking about.p... More..

UNUSUAL OUTCROPPINGSUnusual outcroppings of granite and marble.I see through the early morning mist.That's what a geologist might call them..We rest under them when we cease to exist.A rabbit eats the grass that grows around them.And it doesn't worry him a tiny bit.He doesn't have a care about the fact,That when he dies he'll...

BRAVE NEW WORLD! Think about all the new technology that has developed since World War II. For some reason, that particular War more than any other has seemed to be a catalyst for the development of Science in leaps and bounds.

I wanted a Bass (wanted to be in the band y'know) but I came away with a Kay scroll side acoustical guitar, with strings that were about inch above the fret. Now anyb... More..

Steamboat Springs in MayAlabaster avalanche, falling from the sky,I look up and I can see, You drifting from on high.Each an individual, with different shape and form,Delicate in pattern, created by the storm.The sculptor of a new landscape, In the whitest clay.And your graceful floating motion, decorates a winter day.And whe...

The last time I saw and spoke with my Grandfather in 1992, he was 98 years old. His mind was ravaged by Alzheimer's disease and his kidneys were failing. Yet, all he could talk about that day were his bees. He wasn't making much sense about anything else, but for some reason that day he had the bees on his mind. You see, he h... More..

I heard on the radio last week about a scientist who was going around the Oceans of the world, and taking samples of the water and testing it for microorganisms. Turns out, he was finding thousands of new ones that nobody knew existed. You would probably not really be surprised by that, but at about the same time they announc... More..
