A little over a week ago, the Deepwater Horizon oil platform asploded in the gulf, and two days later (on Earth Day) it collapsed and sank. This left several people dead, as well as a large tube in the bottom of the ocean presumably looking like an out of control garden hose–bleeding large amounts of [...]
Last night we went to our daughter’s future school for information on enrollment for next year. We were extremely impressed, and are really looking forward to our daughter’s experience there. During the presentation we were asked several times to vote for a tax extension on April 27th. The tax extension will extend a property tax [...]

Two completely different services with wildly different music and visuals. Yet Theology was identical, the topic was identical, and even the outlines of the service seemed to be [...]
The latest directive from our command-and-control government is that vehicles should get 34 mpg by 2016. Which makes me wonder if there will be a substantial aftermarket for increasing the ‘pep’ of cars after manufacture. Or if it will suddenly become economical to make wasteful electric cars. In other words, there is clearly a market [...]
