I think that the carnivores like bicycling because it builds itself into their own love of consumption. For a carnivore to look at a bicyclist, especially a road bicyclist, there’s the opportunity to see the opportunity to claim vast expenses of time and distance for one’s self. The ultimate freedom. You are away from the…
Arthur was in a personal moment. He was having a problem understanding everything he was beginning to understand. It was like a completely alternate way of thinking well at the same time using the same language. This is where the truth could be found, he felt. In the language. The language was different for carnivores…
No. This is not the way we do this. This is not a popularity contest. There is a big difference between democratically electing leaders and having a schoolyard popularity contest. They are two completely separate entities. One is where we challenge the boundaries of our common sense to come to agreement about how to be…
If mulch is all you need and grass has sufficient everything, let’s do it. So we take down all of the plants that have grown tall with us that are not particularly our food and we put them on top of the gardens as soil amendment. We can let them dry for a few days….
It was a simple argument. What the leader was recommending as a lifestyle for himself and all of his celebrity would only make absolute insanity of our lives. The more he asked us to be like him, the more horrible life became for everybody. The people simply have to live separate from royalty and it’s…
Trump maybe did not get shot in the ear. Maybe it was one of those hidden ball tricks like they have in baseball. This was our conversation with a Washington insider dealmaker with connections to British gambling. It seems whenever there is political movement in America, the punters are first in in their predictions and…
It’s a hell of a show. I really have to admit that in the world of show business, Donald Trump is a really unique brand of performer. And I mean, it is unquestionably a show and he is unquestionably show business. I understand it sort of makes use of the presidency of the United States…

What I really want is a more comfortable relationship with you my dear. To be frank, which is to say that I want to be as honest as possible, I know that you are good for me. You will do anything I ask you to do and only marginally cause me consternation in the background….
The former batting champion has taken a downward turn. From the laser ball opening night of his new stay in Japan when he electrified a stadium and the imagination of the entire fan base to the current ghosting of the lineup. A batting average that wants to go to 200 or lower. Too many opportunities…

There is an activist group known as just stop oil. If you’d like to know a bit about them, here is a basic Google search for them. Just Stop Oil (JSO) wants the UK to stop approving new fossil fuel projects, which are a major cause of climate change. The group says it uses “non-violent…
The truth is that I made it through about 3 minutes before giving up on it. Everyone knows what I’m talking about but I guess if you want to watch again, here is the link. I don’t buy the narrative. It’s not even the debate itself but the packaging. The excitement of it all. Key…

I gave a thought today about dealing with my particular situation. For most of my life, I’ve heard people talk about this but something about my own physicality led me to believe that this was a myth. Currently, I’m having more than a few health problems and the level of negativity that I gained from…
I have a couple of YouTubes to share from a pair of sources that seem to be very like-minded. The first is an interview with Sophie Scott-Brown. According to her biography from the Institute of Intellectual History: Dr Sophie Scott-Brown is Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of East Anglia, where she teaches intellectual history….
Welcome to our coverage of this year’s longest day celebration. The time according to the internet is 11:50 p.m. just before midnight. It seems a strange time to celebrate the Sun but that’s exactly what we are going to do. This being said, this is a fertility festival for without the Sun, we do not…

He was 93. Larry Baer, the president and chief executive…
I have been a dedicated bicyclist for a very long time. They didn’t have blogs around when I quit my car or maybe I would have done a whole series about it. It was a pretty easy decision. If I made a list of all of the things it did that were good and all…
