“HANGRY” It’s a joke, right? People who become angry when they are hungry is a joke?Actually, no. It is NOT a joke. In fact, it is quite serious. Even as a child I experienced hypoglycemic episodes. My family didn’t know then what I know now. No one then thought it was a big deal. I can attest that the one experiencing …

GUEST POST from Don – More Oddities +
MORE ODDITIES in “The News” + As usual, we are hearing fake stories about the loss of immigrants. They are peddling untruths, of course. The current administration has increased the processing of people seeking to immigrate legally. 99.9% of those being exported are those here illegally. The other 0.1% are some of those who overstayed their visa. So, here’s one …

GUEST POST from Don – Salvation “Dance”
SALVATION “DANCE” An exploration of Biblical salvation… I’m not a theologian, but I think about stuff anyway.God desires a great thing for us. Clearly His goal and hope is not punishment for the guilty, but joy for the willing. In the 50s through the 80s we had both Bill Bright’s “Four Spiritual Laws,” and an …

GUEST POST from Don – Oddities +
ODDITIES + In 2018 Leslie Stall interviewed Trump and pressed him to admit that the Russians were trying to determine American elections. Trump’s answer didn’t satisfy her. He said, “So are the Chinese.” In the 2020 election, which was won by the mail-in votes, according to a recent revelation from the FBI, China did in fact create …

GUEST POST from Don – Trash Truth
TRASH TRUTH What’s the truth about Trash Trash Trash everywhere? Like: “Where does all the plastic and trash in the ocean come from?” Well, half of the plastic in mid-ocean plastic patches has been found to come from fishing trawlers.

GUEST POST from DON – Cognitive Decline
COGNITIVE DECLINE We should be concerned about having leaders with cognitive decline. No duh! We’ve had a few during my lifetime. OPTION A: RETIREMENT AGE. Part 1: I am a proponent of limiting the age at which elected AND appointed officials may continue to serve. For me it is not an issue of whether that person has physical or cognitive …
