151. Sunrise
November 19, 2011
I love sunrise.
It’s my favorite moment of the day. Peace, tranquility, silence, and freshness—a sense of new birth—hangs over the portion of the planet that I inhabit. Thinking of the time I lived in Riyadh, I give thanks…
“Alhamdalela,” I repeat over and over again; Arabic for, “T...

152. Never Re-elect Anybody!
November 03, 2011
I saw a fantastic bumper sticker the other day. I mean it really spoke to me; drilled smack dab into my innermost core! SNOOKI: A WALKING OIL SLICK I’m pulling your leg; but wouldn’t that be aces? I read where she’s coming out with a fragrance. People want to smell like Snooki? Serio...

153. Freedom vs. Equality: Tea Party & Occupy Wall Street
October 20, 2011
It is with detached curiosity that I’ve watched riots from around the world; Greece, Egypt, Libya, Iran (and other places interesting). A common thread is that people are fed up with something; and “are mad as hell and aren’t going to take it anymore”! I know we’re supposed to give a damn about inte...

154. Learning to be Ignorant - The Last Burn: Politics, Government & You
September 10, 2011
Previously I wrote about a prevalent and inescapable human condition called “learned ignorance” that is, we acquire information to rectify falsely held perceptions, but continue with those incorrect notions in spite of our knowledge. Let’s see…so far I’ve slammed the medical profession, religion, sc...

155. The Human Condition: Learned Ignorance Revisited
September 09, 2011
To set the tone, here’s a quick 150-word review of a previous article on the subject… The late J. M. Juran told about Austrian physician Ignatz Semmelweiss (1818-1865) who was committed to an asylum and committed suicide at age 47. He lived in the time of Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) and Joseph...

156. Nighttime Reflections
August 28, 2011
You know, folks, lately I haven’t been my usual smart-alecky self. You can read it in several of my latest articles. Sorry about that. I’ve sidetracked into a reflective-thinking direction; but dear reader, fear not! This too shall pass! Hang in there. However, for the present, I have one mo...

157. Turn Around and...They're Gone!
August 18, 2011
Kay and I were wed on the Palos Verdes peninsula at a scenic, semi-hidden spot called Portuguese Bend. I recall a gorgeous July sunset. She remains the prettiest bride I’ve ever seen (and I’ve got the pictures to prove it). One-hundred friends and relatives witnessed the event, the number dictated b...

158. Politicians, Liars & Idiots
August 05, 2011
All great kingdoms and societies are destined to fall—sooner or later. Our human proclivity is such that after an era of success we adopt an arrogant, invincible, it-can’t-happen-to-me, mindset. Predictably, it’s not attitude of the people who created, fought for, and nurtured that success, but rath...

159. Requiem
July 23, 2011
A man died today.
By all accounts he was a good man or at least tried to be. He put the toilet seat down, brushed after every meal, flossed regularly, and was a fanatic about personal hygiene. He provided for his family, raised two children, aided friends, and by chance, the church occasiona...

160. Plastic or Paper?
July 16, 2011
I had just returned from a long bike ride on a humid, sunny day with a hot wind blowing out of the southwest. The weather conditions and the exertion from my closing “speed run” gave me a monster case of cotton mouth, and I was sweating like an overweight prostitute in New Orleans after a busy Augus...
