  • Watch Out for Spaghettification on Skinwalker Ranch!

    Watch Out for Spaghettification on Skinwalker Ranch!

    I’m not up to speed on the math of black hole portal wormhole vortices and whatnot, but I think the actors on The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch need to be careful what kind of incendiary devices they’re tossing into the Triangle Area. I barely got through the general physics introductory course at Iowa State University.…

  • Yowie the Tree Hugger!

    Yowie the Tree Hugger!

    I saw the Bigfoot episode of The Proof is Out There last Friday which purportedly showed thermal images of two Yowies, the Australian version of Bigfoot. I was shocked when host Tony Harris said the video was either a hoax or possibly Yowies—and went with “Possibly Yowies.” Interesting name, “Yowie.” It sounds like something I’d…

  • Remember That Manual Edger Last Year?

    Remember That Manual Edger Last Year?

    OK, so remember that dual wheel manual edger I bought last July? It’s a Yardworks 54-inch wood handle dual wheel edger. Remember that so you never buy one yourself.  The wheel lining started tearing off in pieces just like the old one before it. The new one was a replacement for the edger that provided…

  • Wormhole Vortex Portal at Skinwalker Ranch!

    Wormhole Vortex Portal at Skinwalker Ranch!

    I watched The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch the other night and the investigators got really excited over seeing what they called a wormhole portal in the Triangle area of the ranch. Somehow, it was detected by LiDAR, which stands for light detection and ranging. It measures distance using light instead of sound like radar does.…

  • Beat the Heat with Cold Snap and Common Sense

    Beat the Heat with Cold Snap and Common Sense

    Sena likes to be out in the garden no matter how blisteringly hot it is. A few days ago, she was planting some yellow coreopsis and lantana, whatever that is. It was 82 degrees and with the heat index (about 60% humidity), it felt like 86 degrees. Later in mid-afternoon it rose to 95 degrees…

  • Maybe I Should Be More Optimistic About Humans

    Maybe I Should Be More Optimistic About Humans

    I read the Psychiatric Times article “How Psychiatry Has Enriched My Life: A Journey Beyond Expectations” by Victor Ajluni, MD and published on July 4, 2023. It was like a breath of fresh air to read an expression of gratitude. Just about everything I read in the news is negative. At the end of the…

  • Extraterrestrial Grade Kewpie Mayo Corn Dish!

    Extraterrestrial Grade Kewpie Mayo Corn Dish!

    Sena made a Korean Corn Bake with Kewpie Mayo. There’s a spice in it that makes it special. On the label, it just says “spice.” One web article says the secret ingredient is monosodium glutamate (MSG). The author goes on at length to assure that MSG is safe. I guess it has gotten a bad…

  • The Square Dude with the Circle Beard Returns

    The Square Dude with the Circle Beard Returns

    Well, I decided it was time to return to the circle beard after over 6 months of struggling to grow a full beard. I have too many potholes. I think it takes as much time and trouble to have a beard as it does to shave every day. I found a web site about how…

  • Mayo Taste Test!

    Mayo Taste Test!

    Big day of mayo taste testing yesterday. We broke out the Kewpie Mayo, Duke’s Mayo, and Miracle Whip. Actually, we got the two mayonnaise brands out for dishes Sena had planned. We got the Miracle Whip out just to compare the taste of all three. I thought the Miracle Whip was tangy. Sena actually thought…

  • Sena Tries Miracle Whip on Braunschweiger!

    Sena Tries Miracle Whip on Braunschweiger!

    The other day, Sena suggested we have a soup and sandwich dinner. We both had a Braunschweiger sandwich on toasted bread, with onions—and Miracle Whip! Sena suggested the adding the onions and toasting the bread. She also decided to try the Miracle Whip spread. I chose the soup, which was so spicy we needed a…
