QUALIFIED? In this world there are many things for which the “operator” must be qualified. Your surgeon should be (I require it of mine). Your dentist should be (I carefully inspect the wall certificates). The crane operator should be. The airline pilot should be (I wouldn’t have it any other way). Your cruise ship captain, and even both the chef …

GUEST POST from Don – Silly Life-Hacks
SILLY LIFE-HACKS Influencers push influence. Here’s a “hack,” there’s a “hack.” Actually, most “hacks” are recycled ways of doing things from 70 years ago. What makes them “special” now is that they are tied with other concerns, like “how to de-clutter,” or “how to reduce the amount of plastic in the universe.” Trouble is, these things seldom do …

GUEST POST from Don – Kentucky History: The Meat Shower
KENTUCKY HISTORY – THE MEAT SHOWER Only one sample of the mystery meat remains. It sits in a glass bottle of alcohol at the Monroe Moosnick Medical and Science Museum at Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky. Meat from heaven? Manna? Nope. Best guess, by several knowledgeable people, experienced in the weirdness of nature, is that a passing kettle …

GUEST POST from Don – Fires & Health
FIRES & HEALTH Did you know that NEARLY HALF of residential fires are caused by the kitchen range? What are the issues with that device which make it so likely to cause a fire? GREASE. The number one cause is greases and oils (either in the oven or on the stove top). Let’s think, “What is the …

GUEST POST from Don – Half The Story
HALF THE STORY The Smithsonian Magazine recently engaged in fear mongering: “Gas Stoves Are Poisoning Americans by Releasing Toxic Fumes Associated With Asthma and Lung Cancer.” In the article they quote a co-author, Robert Jackson, of a study on gas stoves, “We’ve spent billions of dollars cleaning up our air outdoors and nothing to clean up …

GUEST POST from Don – Global Warming Re-Imagined (Again)
GLOBAL WARMING RE-IMAGINED (AGAIN) Popular Mechanics, a left-leaning publication, had this headline recently: “Earth’s Disastrous 10th Tipping Point Has Been Identified.” Seriously? The earth NEEDS another “tipping point?” Aside from the humor, considering the earth is basically a BALL … there is no “tipping point.” If the earth were a table it COULD have a tipping point. (Before you respond …

GUEST POST from Don – As It Turns Out
AS IT TURNS OUT More and more evidence is coming to the fore that shows that Americans have been greatly mislead about many things. (If it were only ONE thing, I think we could let it go…right?) SCIENCE IS NOT “SCIENTIFIC” As it turns out strange things, which do not make a bit of sense, are …

GUEST POST from Don – Practical Application of “The Mind of Christ”
PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF “THE MIND OF CHRIST” My assumption is that some things are, to some degree, within our control as humans. Some portion of auto accidents are the result of things we CAN control. For instance, when the roads are icy, we could reduce the probability of sliding into the ditch by merely lowering our speed. That …
