Fly me to the Moon but no further.

What do I do with this? Almost everyday I hear on public radio a program about stars, blackholes, quasar’s, Goldilock planets, and marvelous detailed color photos from telescopes previously launched far into outer space. What do I do or even we do with such eclectic information? How does it affect me here in northcentral Oklahoma.Continue reading “Fly me to the Moon but no further.”

From big to little.

  From square footage to hand held. What you missed by being born too late. What you did miss was huge electronic equipment to do what simple desktop PCs can now do.  My very first big job back in 1969 after leaving college was with the Schick Razor Company in Culver City, California. Just aroundContinue reading “From big to little.”

Where will I get an Egg McMuffin?

  Let’s assume we actually rocket to Mars. Let’s also assume there is about of hundred of us who came along on this six-month long voyage.  We also could easily assume dozens of us could be stuck in the middle seat getting there.  Then about half way to Mars they could run out of peanutsContinue reading “Where will I get an Egg McMuffin?”

I need to use a pay phone.

Charlie boy, phone home. I absolutely don’t know how I did it. Did it without loss of limb or life. But I did get through it all with no major or minor difficulties. I made it easily through junior high and high school without a cell phone. However, there were two payphones in the mainContinue reading “I need to use a pay phone.”

But where will we sleep?

There is no Starbucks there. America rose to the occasion and sent men to the Moon as a challenge to the Russians. However, we didn’t stay there very long each time visiting. Too much of a hostile environment. Both too hot and too cold just standing in one place on the Moon. Certainly, no levelContinue reading “But where will we sleep?”

Plus, some of GM’s plans for theContinue reading “Driving into the future 1956.”

No parents just adult siblings.

Send your problems to Pastor Chazz Dear PC, Our 12-year-old boy twins seem to have their own agenda. Homework is not getting done and too much time is spent online gaming and who knows what all else. I keep telling them they most likely will remain in middle school for like if homework is notContinue reading “No parents just adult siblings.”

This is one job that requires a good recipe.

Working the Gig economy. I often read in the newspapers ideas for generating extra income by working various odd jobs. Working a gig. Driving an Ober, dog walking, online tutoring, picking up and delivering restaurant meals, etc. Often supported by downloaded smart phone apps or downloading Zoom on your laptop. There are hundreds of jobContinue reading “This is one job that requires a good recipe.”

There are no Starbucks on Mars.

Mars or bust. Why are we in such a fever to go to Mars? Couldn’t we be just as happy going to the Moon? The Moon is so much closer. Just think of all the money that could be saved by only flying to the Moon. Possibly we might find Martians on the Moon. IsContinue reading “There are no Starbucks on Mars.”
