Blog Post Number 49 Written: 07-25-2021 Uploaded : 03-10-2023 I grew up with animals. Not just dogs and cats like everyone else, or fish, or ferrets. I mean we had those as pets while I was growing up, but we also had livestock. Chickens, cows, horses, and lots of goats. By lots I literally meanContinue reading “Live Stock”

Blog Post Number 48 Written: 07-22-2021 Uploaded: 03-04-2023 I don’t think the idea of space colonization needs to be debated.

Supplies to build.Continue reading “Fears and Feelings About Humanity and Space Colonization”

Blog Post Number 47 Written: 07-20-21 Uploaded: 02-24-2023 I think, I may have already covered this topic, but it is on my list of things to do. So I am doing it here, possibly again.

What I had in mind when I initially wrote that single sentence, I will most likely never remember, maybe I should seekContinue reading “Weird facts of human evolution…”

Blog Post Number 45 Written: 07-18-21 Uploaded: 01-27-2023             I was late to the party when it comes to Heinlein. I read Starship troopers as a teenager, and it was fantastic, (not the movie, the book you heathens The movie requires alcohol to be enjoyable.) Starship troopers (still the book) was some great science-heavy actionContinue reading “Thoughts and feelings about Heinlein”

Blog Post Number 44 Written 07-15-2021 Uploaded 01-20-2023             David Brin is another excellent author who I feel is underappreciated. I don’t remember if I already talked about him, but I am doing it here, so if it’s a repeat subject I apologize, I’m just going with it, because it’s been a heck of aContinue reading “Feelings about David Brin”

Blog post Number 43 Written: 07-14-2021 Uploaded 01-13-2023 Since I have been talking about my personal feelings about some authors, here’s another one. Old man’s war was a great book. I hadn’t read any new or fresh sci-fi in some time when I picked up Old man’s war. I was in a slump and growingContinue reading “Feelings about John Scalzi”

Blog post Number 42 Written:07-11-2021 Uploaded:01-06-2023 I’ll try and keep this one short, partially because I’ve spent all morning repairing my wooden fence that the storm blew down and partly because this is Orson Scott-Card, the author who got me started down my long dark path of science fiction. I figured since I started talkingContinue reading “Feelings on Orson Scott-Card”

So for a moment, permit me to digress. Earlier this year, due toContinue reading “New Years update 2022”
