Another Congressional Hearing on UAPs and We Still Don’t Know Who Was Driving That Thing
I just sat through the two and a half hour long House Committee Oversight and Accountability hearing dramatically entitled: “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Exposing the Truth.” The impression I got is that somebody still thinks we can’t handle the truth. This is the second congressional hearing on UAPs I’ve seen. I have to admit, I thought…

Saying Goodbye to Zem the Mattress
We’re saying goodbye to Zem the mattress. This raises important questions. Who the heck is Zem? Why does a mattress have a name? If you’ve ever read Douglas Adams’ book “The Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy: Five Novels and One Story,” you’d probably wonder why anyone should ask. The name Zem is given to…

Thoughts on X-Files Episode “Sunshine Days”
I saw the X-Files episode “Sunshine Days” again last night. It’s the second time I’ve seen it. It’s about a guy who calls himself Oliver who has telekinetic power and who yearns for a father-son relationship with a paranormal researcher (Dr. Reitz) who studied him when he was a kid named Anthony. The set…

The Cat is a Witness?
I have watched the Men in Black movies dozens of times, and I still get a little puzzled at the scene in which Agent J ask the deputy medical examiner (Laurel) where the cat Orion is. Orion is carrying a tiny galaxy on its collar. You’ll have to see the movie to get the context…

The United States Postal Service is in Code 101 Lockdown!
No matter what I do, the USPS Change of Address (COA) snafu team makes the situation worse. It reminds me of this scene in Men in Black 2 in which the MIB headquarters goes into something called Code 101 Lockdown. Agents J & K return to headquarters and Agent J fires a sort of space…

Closing the Loop on All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office Search for Extraterrestrials?
Just in case you haven’t already heard, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) revealed the lack of evidence proving the existence of extraterrestrials from the reports about what we used to call UFOs. And NASA has said basically the same thing. So, is there anything left to say about this? Probably not from the official…

The Intergalactic Angle on Your Point of View
I finally watched the movie “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” the other night. It was released in 2005 and based on Douglas Adams’ book of the same title. In fact, he co-wrote the screenplay. A lot of it was not in the book. I thought a couple of scenes were noteworthy and pretty funny.…

The Weather Guy
We like to watch the Weather Channel. One of the meteorologists is very conservative in his forecasts. He’s always hedging: “And here we see a radar signal that might be indicative of a tornado, not saying it definitely is a tornado, just saying it might be, and over here in this county next to a…

New Aromatherapy Diffusers!
Sena got some new aromatherapy diffusers made by Studio 66. They have a magical glow. One has a design of cardinals on it and it is titled Winter Ice (or Mistletoe, depending on what side of the box you read). The box says it smells like sweet orange, warm cinnamon, juniper berries and eucalpytus. The…

The Geezer Remarks on Superfoods
Sena is big on eating healthy, which is a good thing. On the other hand, we don’t necessarily always like the same foods. And there’s the whole issue of what people call superfoods nowadays. Funny, when I was a kid, I used to just refer to superfoods as “yuck!” There are variant spellings. I read…
