Cryogenics
Many decades ago, when I was in 8th grade, we had a class science fair. I don’t remember what I presented (I loved dioramas, so I’m sure one was involved) but I remember a presentation on Cryogenics. One of my closet friends was fascinated by the concept of freezing a living organism and bringing it Continue reading

Plastic Machine
My first computer was a bust. My uncle was a gadget guy and he loved models, as did my father. When kids were getting models of ships and cars, I got a model of the Wankel Rotary Engine. I never heard of it, but my uncle knew all about it … and he told me Continue reading

Winter Blahs
I heard once that the rate of depression in the American Midwest is high during the winters, due to long periods of sunless skies and generally bleak weather. I live in the middle of the Midwest. Each year after I make my New Year’s resolutions I struggle to make them. January is tough. If I Continue reading

Quiet Day
Somedays, I can’t think of anything to write about. Of course, there is nothing saying I have to write on my blog everyday. But it was a goal I had, partly to keep me in my writing space, a way to combat writer’s block. Ironically, my goal creates its own pressure, which leads back to Continue reading

Plastic Powered Car
They say that much of our recycled plastic goes to the landfill, which is sad. If there’s not a market to reuse plastic, then burn it, but not in the incinerators at some waste disposal facilities. Burn it to fuel a car, a steam-powered vehicle. Steam probably went out of favor because the combustion engine Continue reading

Carrots
I have reached the age where some foods are wrong to eat. I can’t blindly consume as I please without consequences. The spicey foods I used to love, give me indigestion. Even modest portions of cheese plugs me up. Greasy pizza (once my favorite) does the opposite. Coffee after noon keeps me awake all night. I Continue reading

Leaf Blower
I think the world could do without leaf blowers. They’re noisy and use up precious fuel. Too many times, I’ve watched lawn workers blowing leaves around that blow back on the same yard, just moments after the workers leave, especially those leaves they blow into the street. I admit raking up leaves is time consuming Continue reading

Whose Chair?
We have a cat, a white and gray Maine Coon. He’s a beautiful cat. If I could make him understand one thing, it would be his place. He’s always taking my chair, a recliner where I watch TV. He loves to sleep in it. Often he waits until he sees me approach and jumps ahead Continue reading

World’s Largest Ball of Yarn
There’s lots of things to see in the world, and I definitely want to see as much as possible. I love visiting new places. In my own country there are plenty of national and state parks with many natural wonders. I love to attend museums and read all the information possible, absorbing facts. My family Continue reading
