Jerk-O-Meter

Friday, August 12th, 2005

If you use a cell phone, this might be of interest. When they develop the technology for land lines (maybe it’s already in existence) I will be searching around for a Jerk-O-Meter blocker!
Ever wonder if that spouse, friend or co-worker on the other end of the phone is really paying attention? The “Jerk-O-Meter” may hold […]

Embryonic stem cell research is a hot topic today, and not without moral and religious overtones.
A new nationwide poll released today reveal that 73 percent of Americans believe stem cell research could one day lead to new disease treatments and cures, and 70 percent support increasing federal funding for the research. See Nationwide Poll

New Energy Bill

Wednesday, August 10th, 2005

The new law will start daylight savings time three weeks earlier and end it a week later as an energy-saving measure.
We in Arizona won’t be affected directly.
Why don’t we just go on permanent DST? You have my support.
When daylight-saving time starts earlier than usual in the United States come 2007, your VCR or DVD recorder […]

What are you reading?

Monday, August 8th, 2005

For years, I never allowed myself the pleasure of reading fiction. Life was too serious. Too much other important stuff to try and digest and comprehend.
That was then.

I now read for enjoyment, mostly mystery novels, and John Sandford is one of my favorites. I guess it’s partly because of my former connection with the State […]

Dozing Judges

Sunday, August 7th, 2005

I was in the middle of arguing a Motion in an involved, mechanic’s lien foreclosure case when I noticed that the presiding Judge was sound asleep. Not knowing what to do, I just returned to the counsel table and sat there until he awoke.
“Are you finished?” he asked.
“No, your honor,” and I stood and […]

The Neighbors Coffeehouse

Friday, August 5th, 2005

I have an old classmate from High School who just couldn’t sit around and do nothing following his retirement. So, he started a business which provides coffee, ice cream and Christian music to folks in the Kansas City area.
I really don’t think that my friend, Jack, has much to do with the day-to-day operation of […]

Clouds!

Thursday, August 4th, 2005

Maybe it’s because we’ve had months and months of nothing but sunny days with blue skies, but I really enjoy seeing some clouds in the sky.

I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now,
From up and down, and still somehow,
It’s cloud illusions I recall,
I really don’t know clouds, at all.
Both Sides Now (Clouds) - Joni Mitchell
