GUEST POST from Don – Debtor’s Ethic
DEBTOR’S ETHIC I don’t like to be indebted to anyone for any reason. There is no loan I haven’t paid off early. We financed half of a new HVAC system last summer instead of robbing savings. We had a year to repay. It is paid in full after 5 months. If I took out the loan, I will repay. I’m not …

GUEST POST from Don – Solution Found
SOLUTION FOUND I know, I know!!! Enough already! Well, it would be enough already IF the press and global warming scientists were to stop making expensive demands on us. BUT, they haven’t. They won’t. They are making big bucks off Fear; why should they stop? “Let me be very clear” – – Whether you believe in Global Warming or not, …

GUEST POST from Don – TELL ME
TELL ME In talking with others (something I do on purpose about every other day) I find that their interests and mine don’t match. Better, neither of us is wrong, just different. Of course, that means that there are a plethora of ideas and themes which never occur to my brain. I asked my host …

GUEST POST from Don – Ignoring The Bigger Question
IGNORING THE BIGGER QUESTION Newspapers and magazines often “sell” simple ideas. Those ideas tend to be at the edge of some political point of view. Three examples follow.

GUEST POST from Don – Faith-Based Sharing vs ACA
FAITH-BASED SHARING vs ACA It is time for political “what-iffing.” This is what happens in the media every time someone wins the White House. It would be funny except its not. Never has been. Every other article is about how bad things COULD happen. Strangely, if you keep track (I have a short list of nothing-burgers from last go-’round), almost …

GUEST POST from Don: Termites
TERMITES Imagine living your entire life underground, requiring a gut bacteria which can kill you if it gets on your skin, and eating wood for a living. That would make anyone angry. It would make me angry. Now imagine not having any serious defensive weapons except your bodily gasses and a large headed version of yourself …

VIDEO: Feeding Our Dogs (Real Food!)
It occurred to me several weeks ago that nobody else in this family eats “kibble” – the parrots and Pete & I eat real food, and avoid processed 95% of the time. So we made the choice to feed Maisie & Chuy the same way. Tonight after making a batch of food for them I …

GUEST POST from Don: Heat Pumps
“SAVING THE PLANET” with a HEAT PUMP Can heat pumps save the planet? A government study said, “No.” That study suggested that even if every home went 100% electric and every vehicle in the USA went EV we would still fall short of the reduction goals set for 2050. Nope! Still not enough. Maybe if we had heat pumps but …
