Why I Don’t Believe in the Pseudo Sciences

Dale LangloisDeep thoughts

  I don’t believe in ghosts any more than I believe in Bigfoot, crop circles or aliens.   “Why?”  You might ask, “You are a science fiction writer.”   I need proof. Nothing has been proven to support Bigfoot, ghosts or crop circles. There is no proof of ancient aliens, and why would a more intelligent species than ours travel …

The Ice Bucket Challenge

Dale LangloisLooking up

  Everyone is doing the Ice Bucket Challenge, and ALS has reaped benefits because of it. Someday the disease will be wiped out like polio and smallpox.   I personally did not dump water and ice cubes on my head. Instead, I used my head to think about it.   How often do water and ice appear together in nature? …

Why I Love Science

Dale LangloisWho is the Beave?

  When I was seven, we lived in a remodeled chicken coup. My parents paid twenty dollars a week for rent. One year after attending a book fair at my grade school, I begged them to let me join a book club where I would receive a book a month and a model of the lunar module. My uncle and …

Just a regular, working guy

Dale LangloisWho is the Beave?

  As you know I bounce weekly blogging ideas off my associates at work. I ask, “What do you want to know about?” I know nothing about the Ebola crisis; I don’t take political stands in public. So what do I know enough to write about? I love the natural sciences and like to educate people who might not be …

We’re Still Just Animals

    Today at work one of the guys complained of back pain. Having gone through two discectomies myself with back Doctors, chiropractors and home remedies, I know his pain. So many people struggle with back pain, and it got me to thinking … why is back pain so rampant? I told my buddy, “It is because we used to be apes …

“What to Hell does this mean?” you ask. This is the tentative title of my next book. “Why is the title written backwards in mirror image?” Because I can write mirror image and always wondered how I could make a buck on such a strange bar-room trick. Now I think I have found a way. I have a story about a …

Past the totem pole, turn right…

Last weekend my wife Charlene and I went down to Blue Mountain to attend the Adirondack Center for Writing’s Literary Awards. Set in the middle of the Adirondack park, the venue couldn’t be more beautiful. Fifty one authors showed their work in front of some of the most skilled writers in New York State. Though my submission didn’t win, I did meet several …

I must write.

adminWho is the Beave?

Once again I am pondering a career in writing. I prefer to be lazy and play poker online, but after many post about climate change, evolution and reality, I must write again. The United States of America does not understand how the universe works. I don’t get it all either, but must share what I do. This global warming/climate change …

One of those who taught me.

adminDeep thoughts

One of the biggest distractions for a writer is Facebook. When we are having a problem finding our muse we look to our addictions. Today I found a photo of one of my science teachers from middle school. At that time every animal or plant got its nutrition from the sun, that is what he taught. It is what was …
