As someone who grew up in the farming community (dairyman's son), I have a passing acquaintance with some of the agricultural issues of the day. Thus I have heard the talk, back and forth, about the pros and cons of using ethanol from grain as an energy source. Which is why I found this video … Continue reading Should we use food grains to create gasoline?
Author: Sir Rhodri
Creational and relational type Renaissance man (writer, singer, thinker) holding to C.S Lewis's credo that if you follow truth originality takes care of itself, (anyway, originality is so yesterday, anyway.) That I have my wonderful wife Jasini is proof enough for me that life isn't fair. If it was fair I wouldn't have her, and instead she is my most faithful example that I am blessed beyond measure. My two adult children are the same unmerited blessing to me. We should all be thankful life is not fair but blessed.
A Blast of the Past #99: Geauga Lake
One of our favorite finds was Geauga Lake's Wildwater Kingdom Park. Apparently Six Flags once owned an amusement park and water park at Geauga Lake, but ended up selling it to Cedar Fair, which kept the water park open but closed the amusement park, my assumption being that it was too close to Cedar Point … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #99: Geauga Lake

Blog milestones: are they significant
Today's post is a short one about the blog itself. In the past two weeks I hit two milestones, according to the notifications that WordPress gave me. According to WordPress, I received my 150th follower last week. My posts also received the 1,000th like that readers gave them. Now, those are not large numbers, but … Continue reading Blog milestones: are they significant
Fitness Update: Midway Point
What do I mean by midway point? I mean I have gotten through the first couple of races in the Kansas City Corporate Challenge -- the 5K and the (modified) half marathon -- and have one event at the track meet (don't know which one yet), the triathlon and swim meet yet. Before the Corporate … Continue reading Fitness Update: Midway Point

“The World Series is baseball…”
That is what started a very interesting lunch conversation I had today at Worlds of Fun. Unbenownst to me, the initial speaker had seen a poster behind me about "The World Series of Barbecue", and had used that to spark his initial statement. This led to a conversation about baseball, and how the World Series … Continue reading “The World Series is baseball…”
A Blast of the Past #98: Campgrounds
We haven't camped in quite awhile, but back on our tour of Cedar Fair Parks back in 2008 we camped. Here are some pictures of our camping in Hannibal the first night out, Our campground near King's Island, and our Campground near Geauga Lake.
