Terrible Tuesday: The aftermath
We spent last week cleaning, reorganizing, and painting. One of our painting projects was the girls room. The girls have a lot of stuff. A lot of little stuff: craft stuff, stuffed stuff, papers, memorabilia, etc. etc. It’s one thing to haul all that stuff out in big heaps and stash in a corner. It’s […]

Terrible Tuesday: ditch the plan
Uncooperative computer, delayed day because of freezing rain, general mayhem. This day mocks my plans. FINE! Roll-with-the-punches links! A bittersweet story about a man who has fed thousands and thousands of people in Houston for three decades. I really hope someone(s) step up to take his place. “Schooling ain’t learning.” Although this is talking specifically […]

Imperfect knowledge
Remember when bleeding people used to be considered a good cure for all sorts of ailments? Or when doctors thought it was a good idea to knock women unconscious when having babies? Ah, those silly rubes. Hey, remember 30 years ago when we intentionally and aggressively replaced huge portions of the natural dietary fats with […]

Save the chocolate!
Did you know we are facing the possibility of a major chocolate shortage? Seriously, this is a problem. So I wrote about it because Awareness is the thing we do now. Be aware! Actually, the industry reaction to the shortage is pretty interesting. They are taking steps to teach the 5-6 million small farmers in developing […]

Terrible Tuesday: Predawn edition
We got up at 5 am this morning to watch Mars get hit by a comet. Well, not really, but it would have still looked cool. Unfortunately, our eastern horizon is blocked by our neighbor’s trees. And while there’s a lot of great info at that link about seeing the sky, there’s nothing about looking […]

Don’t answer that. So I’m watching this very interesting article on light pollution and the dark sky movement, and I start thinking: If a city was successful in implementing a thorough dark sky policy, could you have a city entirely lit as needed BUT with close access to dark skies? Like a platform or a […]

Astronomy tidbits
Summer nights are great for stargazing. Since I’ll be spending a few weeks with my parents in West Texas, I’ll have even more opportunity for viewing the heavens. So I thought I’d start the week off with a bit of astronomical geekery. Most people heard that an asteroid came near (in astronomical terms) the earth […]

Terrible Tuesday: Switching Seasons
This week we have no end of year events. No Scouts or concerts or parties. It’s all done. So you know what that means, don’t you? Yes, Summer Softball and camp preparation begin in earnest. Sprite has four days of softball in a row, I have four hours of training for camp, and the kiddos all […]

Climate Change changes
In the new Girl Scout curriculum, one of the Journeys is focused on energy conservation and global warming. The girls are supposed to calculate their carbon footprint, among other conservation goals. Global warming is in the majority of secular curriculum and educational products on the market to day in some form or fashion. And it’s […]

Real funny, God.
The human body is a marvel and thanks to Science! and technology (“Technology!”?), we are becoming aware of how much more marvelous it is than we had ever imagined. The complexity of the design truly is awe inspiring. Mathematician Alexander Tsiaras recently gave a TED Talk presenting human life from conception to birth. It is […]
