We Hold These Truths To Be Self-Evident:

The nation will be happier and more prosperous without Republicans.

My grandog senses today is the 4th of July.

2026: No Republican Re-elected. End of conservative rule.

Our emotions should not be our instructions for reaction.

I'm not sure how long this eruption on the Big Island of Hawai'i will last, but right now, it's spectacular. Hawai'i is 3 hours behind PDT. This is a USGS live stream.

Multitasking is a strategy we adopt when we realize that our gnat-sized memory will not remind us to come back to a task later.

ICE Solidifies Itself As Trump's SS Police • 3rd From Sol Early in Trump's administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) became the President's ruthless thugs in his racist agenda. Moving away from intelligent, common sense enforcement of immigra...

I wrote this in 2018, and updated it in 2020. It was obvious that ICE would be key to Trump's plans during his first administration. Why are we so surprised now?

RE: Cosmos 482 (Failed Venus Lander) Impact

My guesses for today's (?) impact of Cosmos 482:

#1 Reentry begins ≈23:27 PDT, impact Western Australia or south of Australia.

#2 ≈21:58 PDT over eastern Asia, impact between Guam and New Zealand.

#3 ≈20:29 PDT

Perhaps I'm overthinking this, but wouldn't an egg hunt be more appropriate for Mother's Day?

A watched pot may never boil, but an unwatched pot will never remind you that you forgot to turn on the burner.

My murder mystery book, Fortnight, is now available on Amazon.com. Set in Denver in 2034, it follows Leonardo Romano as he seeks to justify his and his siblings' existence through murder. Find book on Amazon by Title AND author name, or use ASIN Nos. B0F2HQN7KW (ebook) or B0F4W9QKJR (paperback).

William Shakespeare may, or may not have been born on this day, 461 years ago (23 April 1564.) He was baptized on 26 April, which normally happened a few days after birth. He died on 23 April 1616, and people like the idea that he died on his birthday.

There is an unfortunate upside to the current political environment. The worst, most immoral people now feel free to expose themselves for who they are, and we should note them. These people, businesses, churches, and groups can never be trusted again. For them, there is no going back.

Trumpster: The government can't tell me what to do or not to do!

Republicans: Everyone must do what we want them to do or not to do!

Freedom to believe in mythology. CHECK. Freedom to speak for or against anything. CHECK. Freedom to peaceably assemble for a redress of grievances. CHECK. Freedom to lie or deceive? NOPE.

I have lived my life believing it should be as brilliant as a comet in the night sky. It was disappointing to learn that life is about spending decades gathering the things you need so when the appropriate time comes, you can display what you've gathered. Also, comets are not very bright.

A Ted Lasso episode speaks to a truth to those of us who are not LGBTQ. When one players 'comes out' to the team. The first reaction was "we don't care" to suggest that they weren't condemning the player. Ted points out that we should care. Apathy is the opposite of love. To love is to care.

Citizens First Reforms:

#1 - Suspend all acts by Trump and his administration during his terms for 6 months pending an analysis by knowledgable, experienced, and unbiased Review Teams. If act does not directly benefit majority individual of citizens, it's revoked.

#Citizen1st

Coming on 1 May. Fortnight: a murder adventure on Amazon Kindle. In 2034, police departments in Denver farm out detective work to privatized licensed contract investigators. Geoffrey Suaro is an upcoming LCI who lands a P1 contract to hunt down a serial killer whose first kill is on Mother's Day.

Why do I feel like a character in a Harry Potter movie and Voldemort's people have taken over the Ministry of Magic?

I have to remind myself that Social Media interactions are an opportunity to show myself as my least intelligent, least informed, least rational self.

As a child, my parents told me that I have brown eyes. For over 60 years I have believed that, but when comparing my eye color to example eye colors, my eyes are classified as amber.

The primary function of business in a society is NOT to make money. Its function is to provide services and products that the citizens need and/or want. Greed makes business unsustainable. Service to the citizens makes business relevant.

I don't understand what's so difficult about being a painter. It's just knowing where and where not to put the colors.😁

Happy Spring. The Sun "crossed" the equator at 2:01 this morning (20 March.) This is the angle of the Earth at the Vernal Equinox from the Sun's perspective.

From last night. Fun clouds and intriguing objects cross the sky.

"The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function" — F. Scott Fitzgerald

"The test of stupidity is to only accept one concept and not evaluate the value of its opposition." -- P. Kiser Henderson

Earth to Mars = 2 days.

By maintaining 1G acceleration halfway to Mars, and 1G deceleration the 2nd half, it will take 1 day 17 hours assuming Earth/Mars minimum distance.

Radiation exposure, the food and water supply, etc. are reduced to the time spent on Mars.

My son and I went back home to visit our family in Colorado this week. Yesterday, 4 of us went to Meow Wolf. It's Casa Bonita on LSD, without the food.
