OK, let’s talk about the old wooden nickel. If you were about 6 or 7 thousand years old, people would probably say something like, “You look young for your age.” Right? Hmm…probably not so much. But if you were a planet, like say…well…let’s say our little planet Earth. If someone told you Earth is only about 6 or 7 thousand years old, you’d think … Read the rest…

I read a subhead to an article, on a so-called “science” website, that said “A surprising cellular defensive strategy could inspire new antibiotics.” What’s surprising (not really) is how many times so-called “scientists” are surprised at the complexity in life here on planet Earth. Your own cells have more than one defensive strategy against invaders. Bacteria, viruses (aka viri), and all other germs are … Read the rest…
Back when I used to perform, nightly, in an island-themed restaurant, one of the crowd favorites was a song by Jimmy Buffett. The lyrics talked about volcanoes erupting and what would happen when they do. Words like, “Ground she’s movin’ under me…Tidal waves out on the sea…Sulphur smoke up in the sky…Pretty soon we learn to fly.” And then the chorus said, “I don’t … Read the rest…
As far as music and chord progressions go, “Pressure” is one of my favorite Billy Joel songs. The synthesizer melody line appeals to me.

Of course, I’ve made no secret of the fact that blue is my favorite color. But right now I wanna wax poetically and philosophically on zircon crystals. And their implications for nuclear waste containment. Zircon crystals and … Read the rest…
Media outlets share climate change facts that are totally unbiased. And they’re 100% accurate. Oops. I skimmed back and re-read what I just wrote. I’ll have to edit out those typos when I get a chance. Because they’re the opposite of true. And you remember what the opposite of true is. Right? False. But who cares if the information presented is true or false. … Read the rest…
There’s a candy bar named after it. The center of the candy bar is made up of something called nougat (like newgut…not nugget). But this isn’t about the candy bar. I’m talkin’ about what it’s named after. And, of course, that’s the Milky Way Galaxy. Both the candy bar and the galaxy have a “chocolate” coating. Well, sort of. The candy bar is coated … Read the rest…
