I read (and thoroughly enjoyed) this quote from a page full of so-called “stupidity quotes.” It’s from the English author and humorist, P.G. Wodehouse, who lived from 1881 to 1975. And he wrote, “He had just about enough intelligence to open his mouth when he wanted to eat, but certainly no more.” Stupidity quotes, like that, are everywhere. Especially from “woke” people who fit Mr. … The rest of the story…
I just watched a video about wolves re-introduced into Yellowstone (The park. Not the show.) And the video producers showed how much those wolves changed the ecosystem. Yes, nature is amazing. And connected. But here’s how the person who shared the video described it… “🦩Ecosystem restoration hinges on supporting nature 🍁create a balance⚖️; biodiversity richness and ecological integrity With more balance between predator🦑 and … The rest of the story…
It was rainy day in Colorado. Just about this time of year, it was a cool mid-spring rain. But then the sun came out. And you should’ve seen the vivid full spectrum rainbow that popped out. That happens a lot in Colorado. What colors are in a full spectrum rainbow? Violet. Indigo. Blue. Green. Yellow. Orange. Red. And the seven colors are typically listed from the shortest wavelength the human … The rest of the story…
For those who are loved and appreciated, mothers live on far past their time here on Earth. Today, May 8, 2022, marks the second Mother’s Day without my own mom to call. She died about 90 days before last year’s Mother’s Day. But she lives on in the memories of those of us who love her. I’m sure your mothers live on, too. Whether … The rest of the story…
I read an article on LinkedIn that was so incredibly stupid. And part of the stupidity is how the article was high in the feed of a platform (supposedly) focused on business. Why was the article stupid? Because it glorified black men. And that’s a huge part of the problem with so-called “social justice warriors.” They do what the claim to hate. One of … The rest of the story…
“For you put up with fools gladly, since you yourselves are wise! For you put up with it if one brings you into bondage, if one devours you, if one takes from you, if one exalts himself, if one strikes you on the face” Wow! Talk about a timely quote. William Shakespeare really knew what he was talking about, didn’t he. I mean, he … The rest of the story…

But I’d go further with a brainpower definition like this: Someone who can move 20 ton blocks with his bare hands, some wood, … The rest of the story…
I just read where Paul McCartney was fined £100 ($170) because he planted cannabis seeds and grew cannabis on his farm in Campbeltown, Scotland. That happened 49 years ago today, March 7. His “excuse” was that he got the seeds from some fans. And he didn’t know what they would grow. In an interview, after the trial, he said, “Well, we got a load of seeds, … The rest of the story…
I watched a video, yesterday, of a couple who were enjoying a walk through Clifton, Colorado. It’s more or less an extension of Grand Junction. And it sits between that city and Palisade, Colorado. (side note: if you’ve never had Palisade peaches, your life is not complete) The couple videoed the view as they talked about what they were enjoying along the way. They … The rest of the story…
When the going gets tough…you know the rest. Right? Yeah, the tough are nowhere to be found. Just kidding (mostly). When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Once upon a time there was this world. And it was good. And beautiful. Pure. But fast forward about 6,000 years…and we have THIS world. And it’s not so good. It’s messed up. And purity … The rest of the story…
