Around 2:30 pm today, the small town of Malone N.Y. shook. Workers at the local Walmart went outside to see if a truck had hit the building. Others thought it was a rare December thunder clap. Super sonic aircraft were the most probable suspect of the window rattling, but there is one other possibility. A small asteroid entering the Earth’s …

2011 brought many new findings in many different fields of study.When I asked my wife Charlene what she remembered most from last year, she mentioned all the falling stars lately. There are no more now than there ever was. Meteor showers are being announced more often by the media because we can more precisely predict them. The same goes for …

In viewing my stats, I noticed when I write for the guys at work, my viewings increase. Could it be I do write sci-fi for the working guy? If so, then I should ask them to follow my blog. Many of them said they couldn’t post. Here’s how: You have to have a profile set up to one of your …

As most of you know, I write Sci-fi for the working guy. Meaning only, I write for the guys I work with. They are the ones who listen to me ramble about science what ifs. I remember the day I concieved the idea for my novel. John H., Jon W. and I were in #5 cubicle enjoying a very deseved break.Taking …

November eleventh, in the year of our Lord two thousand eleven. As a follower of science I am not too worried that today or any other predicted dooms day date can be forcast without solid proof. One might predict exactly when a comet might hit the earth,  or tell when the energy from a gamma ray burst will reach the …

One more call with my editor and I start the second or third to last, last, last revision of “The Second Intelligent Species”. She said I needed structure to hold my readers. I think I’ve found it. I will need the help of several experts in their fields. Some fields will hold Amish farmers. Others who study nature like I …

Fifty four years to the day, the Russians launched Sputnik.On July 20th, 1969, my family and the world witnessed Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin make the first foot prints on the moon. At the time we (the human species) weren’t sure if the moon’s crust could even be walked on. Today we know the satellite we thought was a …

Now that I have you here, I want to show you what my book is about. I hope that showing these links doesn’t wind me up in court, but they show exactly what I am trying to do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssC7znywJSo&feature=share “The Second Intelligent Species” is about a couple who experience a mass extinction event just like this one, except nobody knew it was …

Once again I find myself pulling my thirty six hours of night shift. A weekend in Zombie Land.   As always, we who must endure sleepless nights followed often by sleepless days, learn to take advantages of any entertainment offered: be it a practical joke, a good lunch packed by a loved one, or a celestrial cornucopia served throughout the summer evenings.    A …

When I was in my early twenties I learned I had an unusual gift: the ability to write cursive with my non-dominant hand in mirror image at the same time as I wrote normally with my right. It wasn’t until middle age did I find out just how few people can do that.   One of the most famous people I discovered who …
