    In addition to the ability to jog, run and walk during the hottest part of the day … early humans could avoid most predators who were less capable of being active in the heat. The benefits of being a hairless sweaty upright ape.





  • This is getting stupid … every Gaza headline is becoming the same … more crisis for Gaza and Israel continues siege, operations, attacks, hits, bombings, movements

    When is the world going to get shocked or surprised by all this … when Israel starts using flame throwers, beating people with hammers, and poking their eyes out?

    This isn’t an Israeli problem … it’s a world problem … between Israel and the US just doing whatever they want without any responsibility or being held accountable for anything … why they hell do we pretend that there is any kind of international rule of law?

    The more headlines I see like this everyday … makes me think that there is no such thing as a United Nations … it’s a nice organization that makes everyone feel good but it has not function other than to assemble a bunch of politicians and representatives in fancy offices to do absolutely nothing.



  • We did a little tour on our own into Germany one spring, about 20 years ago. It was only a few days, we didn’t have much money and we absolutely didn’t know what we were doing. We rented a car and just started wandering. It was just at the point of technology where GPS was still new. We didn’t have any so we just started driving with a shitty map and no clue.

    We had done some traveling in other countries before and we had met several famously obnoxious German tourists. We had partly expected to meet equally arrogant Germans in their home country.

    Instead we met the most open, kind hearted, brilliant people ever. Everywhere we stopped, we’d meet three or four locals who were more than happy to give directions, recommend restaurants, bars, tea shops and sites to see.

    At one point we met a truck driver who gave us a ton of information and showed us a driving route on a big format ringed binder map book. When he was done talking, he left the book. We told him he was forgetting his book and he said we could have it as it had detailed updated map info of the entire country. It was an expensive book and I knew it, so I told him not to give it away. He insisted and said he didn’t mind.

    I still have that map book on my shelf and whenever I see it, I think of that trip and all those people we met.

    Totally loved Germany after that.

    A glacial ice sheet has formed over Highway 17 and it is now 100 feet deep and compacting at the bottom into solid ice … all animal life is freezing to death in the minus 60 degree weather … but if you’re careful, you can still make it to Walmart before closing

    I’m in northern Ontario and no matter how terrible and blinding snow it is outside … we’ll still have people on social media in our area asking things like … ‘How are the highways today? I want to go to Walmart’

    It will be rain, sleet, snow, solid ice on the highway, blinding snow, no visibility and there will always be a dozen people asking … ‘How are the roads? We need to get to grandma’s for a party’
