Delos

July 31st, 2009

A year ago or so, I visited Delos, and came away wondering. The Persians were polite after ransacking Greece, but Delos, popular hub of the Aegean islands, the Cylades, never seemed to amount to much. Despite the wealth. And now, aside from tourism archaeologists, the place is empty of all but fragments of a 2,500 [...]

Keepimg Cool with Al Gore

July 27th, 2009

It’s pretty hot here in the Puget Sound area, while Al Gore is sweltering in unabashed cold weather, and he has whole house air conditioning! So? I figure just one hard-thinking person can beat the stuffing out of Al. I walk Duncan (The Beardie) through the neighborhood. And now, given the weather, checking on folks. [...]

A Man, a Plan,…a Canal

July 22nd, 2009

You can have the best plan in this silly world, and wind up being mostly part of the silliness. Picture this: You dial a number, and the recieving answering machine replies, “Who are you, and what do you want?” Do you realize people live out entire lives having never  answered these two questions? Who are [...]

Back in the Saddle

July 22nd, 2009

Well, after three days of pain, I’m back to a basic WordPress site.  We had browser breaks,  server slumps, ISP incoherence; you name it. So, content is king, you’ll have to put up with the boring shroud it wears for a bit. I’m excited.  After many years and many tens of thousands of dollars invested, [...]
