  Just what if we do find other life in our solar system, or other intelligent life orbiting around a star, many light years away? How would that change your view of who we are as a species? Take a look at some of the estimated numbers on this link: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110220/ap_on_sc/us_sci_cosmic_census   Our description of the universe as we know …

  When my daughter A.J. was having problems in English class, I told her, “Bafel-em with bullshit”. What I meant at that time was to make her stories more colorful, more believable. Apparently I have the gift of Bullshit. According to the guys at work, I’m full of it. Like a farmer, I do like spreading it.  More than once …

On November 12th, 2010, I posted a prediction of a small impact being forecast in the news. Today a car sized  asteroid will buzz the Earth, too small to be seen by the unaided eye. See the link http://news.yahoo.com/s/space/20110209/sc_space/carsizeasteroidtopassclosebyearthwednesdayIt seems like these stories are in the news more and more often. Are there more asteroids now than ten years ago? …

My writing experiences have been mostly solitary up until today. I have been asked to be on the Steering Committee for a new on line writers community called Pentalk (Thank you Linda). I gladly accepted and look forward to a new level of my “Hobby”. I’m sure it can be a terrific way to network, and will help me improve …

  It amazes me that the youths of today don’t find science interesting. How can children not be curious about their surroundings? A toddler’s first sentence is very often, ‘What’s that?’ and they will point at everything they come across, until the cute game becomes quite annoying. At what age does our thirst for knowledge fade? Does it vanish, or is …

 Read the link.   I think this is a good idea. Think about it; WOOLLY Mammoths are covered with what must be wool. Think of all those poor sheep that freeze to death after being sheared. One mammoth could save the lives of several sheep. The meat alone could solve the the problem of famine all over the planet. And those …

  Until now I haven’t contributed much to this blog, I think some of the followers of my other blog don’t even know this one exist. Now I must make it interesting. My other attempt deals mostly with science and nature news, and my take on it. This blog is going to be about my writing experiences, as well as …

  Today’s post has nothing to do with science or nature.  This morning I received yet another rejection, or realized I misinterpreted a kind gesture; again my expectations were higher than they should have been. Either way it feels like a kick in the stones. As I sat and thought about how I felt and what I should do, it …

OK, some birds fell out of the sky, some fish died. Does this signal the end of the world? I think not. Check out the link, “Mass bird deaths…”.Natural phenomenon like these happen all the time. Until only recently we wouldn’t have heard about such things. The advent of modern cell phones has made the world a smaller place. What …

  Everyone gets excited about the new year. Personally, my wife and I will be moving into our new home, (remodeled hunting camp). OK, its a Mancave; but don’t tell my wife. She doesn’t read this, so shush.  Scientist feel the same anticipation when it comes to receiving new data, leading to new discoveries, or proof that their theory’s are …
