Perfectly Appoproriate; Perfectly Counterproductive
I wrote last Saturday about the Hamilton/Pence brouhaha. Since then I have had a chance to listen to and read other opinions on the issue. It hasn't changed my basic opinion, but it has expanded my perspective. The question was whether the cast of Hamilton was rude, did anything inappropriate, by making their appeal to … Continue reading Perfectly Appoproriate; Perfectly Counterproductive
Thanksgiving not Entitlement
11And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:13 and they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. 14 And when … Continue reading Thanksgiving not Entitlement
Hamilton: The Pence Perspective
My Kindle Fire this morning brought up a story on the Washington Post about Vice-President-elect Pence attending Hamilton: The Musical last night, and the reaction he received. Above you see a video taken by someone in the audience of the appeal made to Pence by the cast during their curtain call (Note: Had to replace … Continue reading Hamilton: The Pence Perspective

It seems that our case, reported at 6:30 p.m., got assigned to the officer that comes on duty at 9:30 … Continue reading Not Serve and Protect: Serve and Clean Up
A tale of neighbors
"When seconds count, the authorities are only minutes/hours away" The truth about the above came home again, in another manner, last night. When I was riding home on my bicycle there was a dog lying in the road at the top of the hill one street from ours. As I approached him he just looked … Continue reading A tale of neighbors
Why I don’t believe in Not Voting, or voting “Down Ballot”
This blog post is one that is hard to write. If I had a single reason for what I believed, for my opinion, I could state it forth straight and simple. But, as G.K. Chesterton noted, when you have a lot of reasons, a whole lifestyle of support, it is hard to trot that out … Continue reading Why I don’t believe in Not Voting, or voting “Down Ballot”
