So, for the last 2 weeks, every time that I start a post. Something comes up. So this is a bit delayed. But I will be going back to weekly. I tried to hike the Appalachian Trail in 2021. I left after 30 days. It was not a great experience in a lot of ways and most of them were […]
I am running late to post today. I started something yesterday but with the weather outside and with so many areas effected, I changed topic at the last moment. The Children’s Blizzard by David Laskin was a book that I read a few years back, like over 10 years ago, and it was horrific to read about over 500 people […]
The world is changing so fast with technology advancements that are changing everything that I thought that I knew in such a short time frame. DNA is turn the tide of human evaluation as scientist around the world are taking old bones from Neanderthals and other man like bones and having them tested. The DNA results are amazing. They are […]
Spoiler alert. I will be talking about Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austin throughout this post as if someone has read the book. The Audiobook is available free on Youtube and can be read on line free as the book was published in 1811 and no longer under copyright laws. Women being put on the shelf after a certain age […]
Note: For some reason this did not post last week. So I am adding to it a bit. Sorry for the delay. One of my favorite authors is Jane Austin. I did not like her all that much until A&E Pride and Prejudice came out. But then I was young! The more that I read her the more I can […]
The most important book that you will ever read for the understanding of history, laws, and the world around in the Western culture is the Bible. The influence of the Bible is long reaching and goes into every part of your life and the culture around you and most people don’t even realize it. Because I am in the US, […]
Currently, I am just watching to much news as I watch my childhood backyard burn down. But it was something that I was looking at as I was reviewing were to start in history. I am interested in prehistory, i.e. the before written history and the Neanderthal’s, but I am not really wanting to be in that area of history […]
Last night, I watched as my beloved Los Angeles was in flames. This morning, I woke up to snow which will be an ice storm shortly! A state of emergency has been issued both for California and Georgia. The thing that makes this incredible is that it is the same storm which has crossed the United States. My heart is […]
I am looking at where to began in history and what I am finding is that humans are stupid! We learn lesson after lesson and just have to relearn it. It reminds me of a teacher that I had in High School and I went back a few years later to say, “Hi”. I asked him how he was and […]
I have been sick for most of the last week. It has been a cold were I am exhausted but can’t sleep, can’t really think, then I suddenly get a bit of energy and start to do something only to find not even halfway through I want to go back to bed. I hate wasting a week of my life […]
