Oxford, Michigan, School Shooting

Jim Wright's blog is Stonekettle Kitchen (it's possible I got the name wrong, but something along those lines, anyway). Some years ago, he laid out a proposal to hold gun owners/buyers responsible for the misuse of their weapons, even in an "accidental" shooting. The prosecution of the Cru...

Clueless Youth Struggle With Old Technology & Stuff We Grew Up With

The TI-30 SLR was the one I used growing up, a solar powered version of the TI-30 (we also had one of those). I got the TI-81 for AP Physics in 1994, a year after it was released, and a TI-83 for college the same year it was released. I used to have all sorts of functions for electrical engineering ...

Clueless Youth Struggle With Old Technology & Stuff We Grew Up With

When it comes to slide rules, I'm a clueless youth. When I was in middle school, all the cool geeks had calculators on their wrists . When I got to trig in high school, scientific calculators were already the norm. Yep, that was me in high school. I managed to crack my watch on a cabinet door handl...

Clueless Youth Struggle With Old Technology & Stuff We Grew Up With

I have my father's and grandfather's slide rules on display at my desk at work. Last weekend, I was sorting through some boxes that I had in storage at my parents* after my father passed away. (My parents just bought a condo and are preparing to move). I found another slide rule! I'm one of very few...

Mike Lindell's Election Shenanigans, FrankSpeech and #MyPillow #FAILS - 6/28/61 Cancer / Ox

It looks like they are trying to claim that defendamts have a duty to correct the record because she allegedly found new evidence in her favor (she didn't, and the information she is relying on was publicly available during or before the discovery phase) - failure to do so is in her view worthy of s...

Somewhere Beyond The Sea - (Cruise Travel)

One of my memories from the cruise we took (2010?) is standing at the rail, watching the late passengers make the run of shame down the very lengthy dock at the Isle of Roatan. I was one of not just a few to shout "encouragement" such as "Run, Forrest! Run!" :mrgreen: We have pic...

Planes and Boats and Trains. Wrecks!

There's also a double drawbridge out in St Joseph, MI (not far from Chicago) that needs a part, preventing ships from navigating the river (vehicular traffic can still cross).

What other books will get the FBI to arrest me? The FBI has a long record for me, and that does not even include the shopping trip I once took for a scout camp that included wire, flares, model rocket igniters, lamp oil, and Kotex . My brothers never went to camp, however, they got pretty creative ...

Walberg overlooks the fact that Putin has nuclear weapons with which to respond.

Post Roe Abortion Problems

I found out this morning that two of the studies relied on by the plaintiffs suing to get mifepristone removed from the market (the case currently before SCOTUS) were retracted last month for a multitude of sins, including misleading graphs, improper medical codes (e.g., using a code for ectopic pre...

Not only did the USA Store not have maple sugar candy, but they were out of Grape Nuts too. :( I came away with a big bag of fritos, a six pack of powdered sugar donets, and a tin of Hatch Red Enchilada sauce.

Growing up, there was a donut shop near where my father lived, and they made the best maple frosted donuts I've ever had. I wish I could find something remotely comparable.
