It finally happened. The day I’ve consistently pushed to the back of my mind knowing it would come but hoping that it wouldn’t until I was ready. I hoped that I would escape the day of reckoning. I fooled myself into thinking there was time to repent of my slothful habits. I [...]
Monday night PBS aired an episode of American Experience about the construction of the Alaska Pipeline. The last “gold� rush on the last frontier. Men and women scrambled to land the jobs that generated mind boggling paychecks. Danger and scandal dogged the project from conception to completion. The final product is for better or [...]

Tiktaalik. That is the name of a newly discoverd fish/animal whose fossil was recently discoverd on Ellesmere Island, Canada six hundred miles from the north pole. An animal which apparently bridges the gap between fish and land animals.
Of course there are crows of glee from some that this is a terrible blow to [...]
IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE WE MAY SEE . . .
