That figures because the photographer is a surf photographer and when I asked if he had any seascapes that's the only one he had. Below is some of his...

Hawaiian-style classical music, interesting. I used a photo that a guy from Ohau sent me. He didn't say where it was and I guessed NE Ohau, judging by...

Thanks! Been doing a lot of these small paintings with big brushes. I figure that if I keep at it I'll eventually develop a looser technique and some ...

I don’t know. Three eggs in a 12” skillet I guess, with plenty of butter. Btw, not long ago I figured out that the trick for not getting the egg stuck...

The rise of progressive liberalism? I think it would take more than a contrived ‘culture war’ to instigate an actual civil war. The funny thing econom...

The tomatoes are my bland ones from the garden, btw, and mostly just add color.

Well if we're going to be loose with our distinction let's call it a crustless quiche. I'm not entirely clear on that myself. My wife says no soap so ...

Nice. I can't help thinking the cheese should be melted though.

To be perfectly clear, Dawkins does not claim that "Science disproves God." Wayfarer "paraphrased" him saying that, presumably to disparage Dawkins an...
