Inspection- Rude
Have you had trouble in social situations: family, so called “friends:” people being outright rude and nasty when it comes to differences we have? Well, this week’s Inspection may be a personal note… to whom I’d rather not say, other than “a relative.” But I’m guessing you might want to read it anyway. I suspect, [...]

This was the best I could do. Think of Men in Black II. When I was reading the toon about Fitzgerald I called up a Wiki on him. “Damn,” I said, “looks like that goofball Will Smith nueralized in the beginning of MIBII.” Think back to what he looked like in the movie. Could they [...]

No matter what the topic, when we debate, attempt to resolve or start to chortle, should I think, “donuts?” As a professional musical storyteller and educational service provider I tend to launch into tales rather easily. Yes, I admit: I tell stories. I seem to come by this naturally… and it also seems to be [...]

If you believe you are innocent, fight, Charlie, fight. Don’t quit “for the good of the country,” or “the good of the party.” If you feel this is pretty much all unfair, or unjust: fight. To hell with what fellow Democrats or Obama thinks. There’s something far bigger going on here than Charlie Rangel or [...]

Here in Beaver River Station there has been a revolution. At the Property Owners Association one group has been voted out, one in. I’m the kind of guy who talks with both, friendly with both, and can understand their individual perspectives from their viewpoint, well “understand” as best I can. I suppose this is because, [...]

Sunday, July 25, 2010
I was cruising down route 28 in the Adirondacks today listening to a Sirius NPR stream. The Diane Rehm Show was on. I occasionally enjoy Diane even though her raspy, wavering, voice can be annoying. But it usually is good radio; despite that. Besides, I understand: it’s a medical condition. She had on a panel [...]

Hubble image from space Written by Ken Carman The camera comes in for an incredibly close close up… Our first fores into space were timid, hesitant ventures. There’s so much space out there: we are nothing in comparison. For a long time we thought our playground would be limited to a very small part of [...]

Columnist’s note: If you insist on taking this seriously, please get help. I waited until long after the election to publish it, just to make damn sure you knew I wasn’t serious. In my beloved small community in the Adirondacks I am a member of a nominating committee for the property owners. We have an [...]

I started paying attention to my dream this morning when I realized I had been here before. I am the Outer Limits of dreamland. I control the horizontal, the vertical and, if I’m not happy with a dream, I simply change it or wake myself up; if I must. Occasionally I have serial dreams: continuing [...]
