Recently, my wife and I spent a few days in the San Juan Mountains of Southwestern Colorado. As we were driving back home, just about the only radio station that would come in clearly was one broadcasting from Farmington, New Mexico. I wish I had been listening more closely so I could be a littleContinue reading “AMERICAN HEALTH CARE”

BOOK REVIEW – RALSTON’S GOLD
I was just looking at the data and it seems that this website has been visited by people from more than 30 countries over the past couple of days. Some of those visitors – including many from the U.S. of A. – probably have no idea why Ralston Creek is named that (or why thisContinue reading “BOOK REVIEW – RALSTON’S GOLD”
GOD’S DISCLAIMER
This is not a happy story. On March 18, 2015, a pregnant woman went alone to a residence in Longmont, Colorado in response to an ad on Craig’s List offering to sell baby clothes. She was lured into the house where she was strangled and her unborn daughter was cut from her womb with aContinue reading “GOD’S DISCLAIMER”

ANOTHER BREAK WEEK
Time flies when you are having fun, and here it is time for another break week. I will pick up my keyboard and try my hand at writing again, but it will be a week or so.
BREAK WEEK
The Chinese have just finished their celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival. I think I will munch on a mooncake and sit back to see how the new solar flare affects us here on the Earth and Moon. I will get back to writing in another week or so. I have been working the past fewContinue reading “BREAK WEEK”
JESSE WINCHESTER 1944-2014
Singer-songwriter Jesse Winchester – one of my all-time favorites – left this world on April 11, 2014. He was diagnosed with esophogeal cancer in 2011, from which he recovered. His passing was the result of bladder cancer. I included several of his songs on the baby shower play list I posted last November, and IContinue reading “JESSE WINCHESTER 1944-2014”

YEAR OF THE SNAKE – A LOOK BACK
Year of the Snake – A Look Back The Year of the Water Snake in Chinese astrology is drawing to a close. Later this week I will post some predictions for the upcoming Year of the Wood Horse, but first let us review how well last year’s predictions (posted here) worked out. Most of theContinue reading “YEAR OF THE SNAKE – A LOOK BACK”
