One style of dream that I have from time to time is a problem solving dream. I had one last night. First, a little background. I have a number of servers that I need to monitor whether or not I'm at the office. The servers handle various networking traffic such as DHCP (dynamic IP address assignment...

I watched a movie last night that I first saw the weekend between the assassination of President Kennedy and his funeral. I think it was on Saturday night.

The movie was Sahara starring Humphrey Bogart. It was pretty much about the only non-news broadcast that entire weekend.

Not scared. Whenever I see a snake on the road, if it has not been run over I chase him off the road. That includes rattlesnakes. Rattlesnakes are usually relative docile and move off it readily. I once fought a bullsnake for about 45 minutes to get it off the road. I certainly don't handle them, th...

I am tempted to download the app "Telegram" for a particular reason. Anyone know anything about it? I use it daily to talk to my sister. It works quite well for us. From time to time, some random twit will show up to chat (probably scammers of one kind or another) but I just delete those ...

I started using different e-mail addresses for different financial institutions. That is, one e-mail address for one bank or credit card company that is never used anywhere else. For example, imagine e-mail addresses such as any of the following chocolate_stuffed_walruses_yum_yum@example.com e_to_th...

From time to time I will have a dream that I want to quit smoking but can't.

I had one last night.

The strange thing is that I quit smoking nearly forty years ago.

Without the nuclear bomb, how long would the fighting have continued?

I seem to remember reading that they expected a million deaths in a ground war on Japanese soil. I'm not positive that is correct, though.

I was told by someone with many NASA ties about thirty years ago that Armstrong's saying was scripted but he flubbed it and that the tapes were edited to make it come out the way it was scripted. He made it sound like they replaced the entire line, but it makes more sense if they just inserted an 'a...

MAGA would be replaced with MTGA but it would never work because Trump was never great.

I generally don't hold grudges long at all. There is one, though that I still have thirty years later. I was head of R&D at a company years ago and we were defrauded badly by another company that owed us a lot of money. It was so bad that it drove us into bankruptcy. At the time, I was the fourt...

I just dreamed that we were at war and the enemy had invaded. We were trying to stay hidden so as not to get killed. For the first stages of the war, we did pretty good at staying hidden but then one day it appeared that the enemy had gone and I was just hiding under a bed. Then I saw some movement ...

Sep 6, 2023 The Heritage Foundation and dozens of other right-wing interest groups have aligned to create a 920-page document intended to guide the next Republican president in his first 180-days in office. It’s called Project 2025, and it aims to drastically expand executive power, dismantle the a...

I'd love to build a flying saucer. And then dress up into something that would make me look like a complete space alien. None of these humanoid trash -- if you see a humanoid space alien, it isn't a space alien -- just a second rate tv producer's idea of a space alien. Alternatively, dress up like a...

Someone suggested yesterday that if you have the space, a walk in refrigerator and a walk in freezer would be great. Basically you use plenty of insulation (at least R-25) around the room and have an external source of cold air. Many people apparently use slightly modified air conditioners to cool t...

Remember that old TV show hosted by Art Linkletter and Bill Cosby?


The original was a segment on Art Linkletter's show, House Party. I don't think that Cosby had anything to do with it at that time.
