This is just a tale of an oddity. Or maybe it isn’t so odd… Pictured is a plant that I have come to refer to as the THE MUTANT SNAPDRAGON. The plant popped up sometime this past spring – seemingly out of nowhere. There was a time when we had snapdragons, but that was long … Continue reading
I believe we were put in this life by a CREATOR. I don’t think He is constantly, actively involved in our world, or our individual lives (I’m not going to waste my time making sure I use equal references of HE/SHE/IT. There was a time when we could simply say HE whenever the gender of … Continue reading
The thought of an old farmer hiding children underground popped into my head, and I had to have a reason why (Oops! I guess that’s a spoiler…) In “Burial Details”, Earth is invaded by aliens intent on keeping the human population in check by removing those capable of reproduction. Here’s the Blurb Be sure to … Continue reading
Yes, REALITY – what a concept… It is one I believe in – at least on the macro level. When we HUMANS are living our personal lives, we come up with all sorts of almost OCD rituals to help us navigate all the inputs we have to deal with coming at us from the universe … Continue reading

Without biblical authorization, the natural way is for all species to vie for supremacy and dominance in one way or another, even if only for survival. It’s a jungle out … Continue reading
Technology has brought us many gifts, one of biggest ones has been the internet. Whether you’re trying to find, buy or sell product, or learn something new, seeking information, news, or like-minded people, it’s all out there. You can talk with anyone in the world at any given moment (barring, of course, those who have … Continue reading
We humans are creatures of habit. Habits are patterns we develop that help us navigate our environment (at least the good ones are.) Our brains are taxed by having to make constant decisions, so we establish behaviors that keep us from having to think – we operate on autopilot in regards to what’s stable around … Continue reading
