With what we currently know about aerodynamics, bees should not be able to fly. But they not only fly, they dance! Isn’t Mother Nature awesome! Don’t have men and women of character or morals on the Supreme Court. Most of them lied to get the position so what can one expect of liars? This Supreme…

*I really liked that song Those Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days of Summer by Nat King Cole when I was in elementary school. Don’t know if you can make out the details in the above picture, but this is artwork that mimics reality. It is located in Centennial Park. This is a picture of a click…

This posting will be a “what if” posting. Many questions, etc., but no answers. Just musings about what in the future may be referred to as the “lying years” that are unfolding every day to my dismay.

The workers at the Tennessee Volkswagen plant has voted to unionize. Of course, the Republicans and the…

If one were not an experienced forager, one might say it was a different variety of strawberry. But snake berries have no strawberry flavor (I tasted one. Snake berries are not poisonous…

A pig in a poke is something offered in such a way as to obscure its real nature or worth. (Merriam Webster) “Poke” is an old English word for sack. (Photo of pig by Kimberly Lake on Unsplash) Is the South a democracy an article asked some months ago. I answered no then and this article says the…
