its great when your government is so sensitive to a citizen’s needs and desires that it can anticipate their bucket list. Not just anticipate an item to be obtained or accomplished before the proverbial bucket gets kicked by the Vaca del destino but to supply the needed cash. My government has done just that. AsContinue reading “A new Covid toy”

Not for love, or money…for a beer?
The incentives keep rolling out. In one state get the jab, (the shot of vaccine) and win a gun. In other states do the right thing, (roll up your sleeve) and win a million $$.

It doesn’t mean items are shipped from stockContinue reading “A Blue Yeti hangs from my ceiling”

The little flying machine looked out over a river delta, dry for a billion years. The helicopter was christened “ingenuity” by it’s creators. Custom made toContinue reading “Kill Devil Hill, Mars”
An Atrocity a Day
An Auto Obit

Death announcements, aside from executions, are less common. Possibly because we habitually put off the idea of death, denying its inevitability. A couple of days agoContinue reading “An Auto Obit”

Each of the half dozen tables has the miniature jukebox where the table meets the wall . Everything was a reassuring analog back then. When you flipped thru theContinue reading “Escaping Earth 5”
