• My Cousin Elmo says, “Have a ‘good day’ sounds so friendly, but saying ‘enjoy the next 24 hours’ seems threatening.”

  • Chasing a Conspiracy Theory

    People keep sending me bit-and-pieces of information to put together like a jigsaw puzzle, and while a bunch of it is official-looking documents, it’s the photographs that best explain what seems to be happening in our nation’s capital.   Note the officer between the two groups. My assertion is that the one attending the Biden/Harris…

  • The Coming of Ancient Man

    They had found the cave while foraging. It was tucked in the crags of a high cliff wall, accessible only by climbing. That was 1,115-years ago, and they made it their home. They decorated it with charcoal drawings and colored them using the natural flora found in the lower basin. Over time, the tribe grew,…

  • Zippy and His Big Mouth

    My wife is mad at me because I cannot control my tongue when it comes to bad drivers, and by saying ‘bad,’ I mean STUPID. Here is the situation: it’s a four-lane roadway, the speed limit is 55 miles-per-hour, and in the slow lane is a dually pick up truck doing only 50 mph, and…

  • Recognition (5/5)

    It wasn’t until they had both cleared the town and were in an open field that it came to his mind that he might be chasing a shadow, so he stopped as the hooded man continued. No longer being pursued, the hooded man stopped and looked back, lowered his hood, revealing himself to be a…

  • Trouble with Time

    Time trouble comes from not fully understanding how our perception can be distorted. For instance: Marilyn Monroe and Queen Elizabeth of England were born in 1926, and yet we think of one as an old woman and the other, a sex symbol. Anne Frank and Rev. Martin Luther King were each born in 1929, making…
