I know that thinking and typing this out will help, but it’s difficult. I was laid off again. This is the 2nd time in 2 years and the 3rd time I’ve left a job in 3 years. My switch to GOOD was voluntary, but I understand had I not left I would have been laid [...]
I am posting this for 2 reasons: Reason #1: This is an awesome photograph. It tells the story in a way, as a former photojournalist, we always strive. Poignant, strong and with all the elements. A short caption can fill in the few missing pieces. Reason #2: As a bicyclist this story MUST be broadcast, [...]
There has been a lot of accusations, back and forth about Obama or McCain “flip-flopping.” To me there is flip-flopping and changing your mind. For instance, if you thought the Iraq war was correct when all we had was the info the Bush Administration gave us and then decided it was wrong when the truth [...]
It should be obvious, but apparently it is not. Of course since so many people think that evolution is still just a theory it seems to follow that there would continue to be an argument for racism. Genetics and DNA have proved beyond what should be any doubt that all people are 99.99% the same. [...]
When I talked to the guy at Incycle about my rear wheel on Saturday afternoon he basically said I’d have to replace my wheel and since it was a set, I decided I would buy both and keep it matched. Damn this was going to be expensive. Once I decided what I was going to [...]
There is blog I subscribe to called “Mad as Hell Club” and this post certainly fits the bill. Sice I got my new car a few months ago my driving style has mellowed considerably. For one the ride is so much more comfortable plus I’d really rather not get hit or hit anyone else in [...]
This is something I have been thinking about since all the talk about recruiting problems, manpower issue and brain-drain from the military. Should the US consider reinstating compulsory military service. I have talked about it with friends a little, but now I feel it’s something I want to drop into the limited blogosphere that I [...]
We’ve all known it was coming. After the explosion of the internet in the late 1990s you had to be deluding yourself that newspapers as we’ve known them for the last 300 years would continue as they have. The newsroom that added positions was very rare and not rare was the elimination of newsroom jobs. [...]
It’s been a week this afternoon since I bought my Outback, had my Saturn wrecked, calling insurance and getting called by insurance. Running down to Santa Monica 3 times. Once to buy the car, once to pick up the old one and get hit and three to get my stuff, the bike rack and sign [...]
There is NO way I could make up what happened to me yesterday so I will start at the beginning. As you know if you have known me or read here over the last few months my car has been fading and I need a new vehicle. Over the weekend I got serious. Saturday was [...]
