Feelings change. It’s a fact of life. That was even true when I was a young whippersnapper, all those decades ago. I remember the first time I felt like I was in love with a girl. But, later, I felt like I was in love with another girl. It happened several times. What can I say? A red-blooded American boy … The rest of the story…
A Strawberry Moon? But where’s the strawberry? Oh great. Now, I’m craving some cold strawberry pie. Maybe I shouldn’t even have brought this up. So, why DID I bring up a strawberry moon? Because the strawberry moon is the full moon in June. And that rhymes rather nicely. According to the Almanac, Algonquin tribes, that inhabited northeastern America, used the … The rest of the story…
It’s what selfish people do. And, for some, it’s almost like they wouldn’t tell the truth even if it sounded better. Yeah, selfish people lie. They have to lie to make themselves look and feel better than everybody around them. And they spread lies about other people to try and make those other people look bad to their friends. Then … The rest of the story…
Artificial music is the last place you should look to find a new song. And AI companies that claim to help you “create” your “own sound” tell you right up front they don’t have new music.

Here’s what I wish, today. And it might sound a little upside down from my usual upbeat emphasis on the power of God’s love. But it’s really not. And I think you’ll see that’s true as you read on. I wish the people who love God were the ones with all the great successes in life. And I wish the … The rest of the story…
Things. And stuff. There’s no end to them. Stroll through any department store or home improvements store or clothing store or footwear store. What do they all have in common that you don’t need? You guessed it (I hope). Things and stuff. I’m not saying you never need clothes or shoes or something for your home. But I AM saying … The rest of the story…
Just for grins, here at the Funderbungalow, we watched the sequel to a shark movie. No, not Jaws 3D. This one was Meg 2. It came out last year, and it’s the sequel to The Meg. And the reason we enjoyed those movies is because of how totally believable the whole storyline is. And that’s probably because of the star … The rest of the story…
I’m sharing an account of what happened on D Day back in 1944. And when you get to the end of that part, be sure to check out a comparison story. The sunrise on June 6, 1944 (D Day) brought with it wave after wave of landing vessels. And they carried more than 150,000 American, British, Canadian, and French ground … The rest of the story…
Why, in the name of godzilla, would you ever want to identify with a lower creature? Why would you ever, ever, ever want, or claim to have, a lizard brain? And how would that ever help you tune in to your limbic arc? Or help you maintain balance in your emotional vectoring? Not to mention (but I will) your energetic … The rest of the story…
The longest bridge in the world spans over 100 miles. Can you imagine driving that far, and it’s all on one bridge. Well, that’s all I’ll do. Because I’m never gonna drive on any bridge that long. Much less this particular one. Because the longest bridge in the world is in China. And I have no desire to visit China … The rest of the story…
“The State of Colorado Will Compensate Local Residents To Go Solar as Part of a Statewide Program (RPS).” That was the headline to a short advertorial I recently read online. And I have a long history with Colorado, starting at birth, so it piqued my curiosity, of course. But when “they” say “Go Solar,” it’s not a suggestion. No, they’re … The rest of the story…
Well, it’s the last Monday of the month of May in 2024. And that, of course, means it’s Memorial Day.

I read this in an article this morning: “Americans began … The rest of the story…
When I was a kid, way back before gigantic TV screens (and even remote controls), the Wizard of Oz movie came on once a year. I don’t know exactly what my parents thought about the movie. But the kids sure got a kick out of it. But who knew the Wizard of Oz had so many double meanings? I certainly … The rest of the story…
When you’re young, still in school, and ready to go barefoot, those summer days suit your fancy. You start to picture yourself in a sparkling, clear pool with your friends. Or maybe you see yourself walking down white, sandy beaches. But it seems like those days take forever to arrive. And you have to go barefoot inside while you wait. … The rest of the story…
I’ve lived several decades on this little blue planet. And, as long as I can remember I’ve heard people talk about world peace. And I’ve heard and seen the world peace news on radio and TV. But the world seems to always snatch war from the jaws of peace every time. Have you noticed that? During my time on Earth … The rest of the story…
Your life design is unique. No one else who ever lived, is living now, or will ever live will have the same life as you. But your life is also no different from anybody else either. Here’s what I mean. And why it matters. The DNA found in every cell of your body is incredibly complex and completely yours. The … The rest of the story…
You can’t recycle away stupid. And today I’m gonna share a story you might’ve seen elsewhere. But it bears repeating. Because it shows the increased ignorance in younger people today. And it shows how, typically, the people who shout “don’t judge” the loudest are the most judgmental. Anyway. Here’s the story I saw. Feel free to recycle away. A young … The rest of the story…
