OH GREAT! Another sex scandal, this time in outer space! According to the New York Times, the science writer Dennis Overbye mentioned that James Webb ...
Oops, just joking about feeling the effects of Hayflick's Limit. As Woody Allen said, "I'm not afraid of dying -- I just don't want to br there when i...
Some animals live a very long time, in human terms, like the 500 year old quahog clam found on Cape Cod. But the animal below is thought to be immorta...
Long ago, evolution produced time-limiting mechanisms in almost all complex plants and animals, including humans. Death clears the stage for another o...
It's not him, it's you. I've been aware of and have been reading about trans issues since the 1970s; I've been friends and associates with trans peopl...
No body "assigns sex" at birth. "Assign" is trans rhetoric. Babies' genitalia are recognized as male or female. In the small fraction of cases where g...
Once upon a time, this topic would have yielded many pages of responses. Not now, not from this crowd, anyway. I'm 75; gay; was in a relationship for ...
Yes. When people behave in ways that one thinks are anti-social, uncivilized, or immoral, one must condemn it. One must disavow the unacceptable actio...
I'm not sure I want to "wade into" the murky fluid of "trans and gender issues. Some people believe that, contrary to appearances, they are not the se...

If there is a "closed primary", voters have to declare which party primary they are voting in. One can become a member of a party. That puts you on a ...
In the US there are public records of registered voters, voters by parties, voters by voting--that they voted--not who they voted for--and so forth. T...
What you are poking your fork into looks like the beginning of a Minnesota meal. Add some egg noodles, tunafish, mushroom soup, canned asparagus, and ...

Rao's Arrabbiata sauce, 5 oz. 92% lean ground grass fed beef, coarsely chopped vidalia onion, high protein Italian noodles. Some of the raw onion was ...
That is an important feature. Theological interpretation is apparently quite decentralized and local. There's no pope, no Vatican, no infrastructure o...
I don't have much understanding of differences between Shia and Sunni Muslims. I won't draw any analogies. The Catholic Church has, had, or used to ha...
"Wackadoodle" appeared in the 8/13/22 edition of the New York Times TWICE. First, in an article on a tempest in the teacup of Marfa, Texas: "You can’t...
Either Green Giant or Bird's Eye came out with a frozen microwavable green bean mushroom risotto a few years ago, then it disappeared. Too bad, it was...
In fairness to my mother, we didn't get macaroni salad very often. I think it might have been a last ditch item. Summer meals were generally heavy on ...

True enough, but i haven't been sick or in jail. I've been busy reading, tending to some church work (watering their lawn--God likes green grass, Jesu...
I don't use FaceBook either, don't like it, loathe Zuckerberg, etc. My understanding (based on some very old information is that some items are copied...
Should you have anal intercourse? Sure. Will you get Monkeypox as a result? That depends on what circles you travel in. If you plug into the circle of...
