The Cruise Ship… Sinking
I find it fascinating that the year I was born some intriguing historical events happened. Including when I was about 5 months old Robert Ballard had used some amazing technology and found actual wreckage of the Titanic. Talk about big news and it was something I was yet to know until I began learning about…

The RMS Titanic
There are so many facets to my education of the Titanic in different fashions during my thirty some years. One of the early manifestations of learning about this ship wreck was a movie we watched up at the Alsman house. I specifically remember watching my Uncle Tony make one of my brilliant birthday cakes while…

Cobra Time
This week I have found some time to get back to my original project of the year. Yes it got hijacked a couple of times for some baby things, but it was worth it. Now I am working on some other charts for fun and to see what happens. It still has a bit more…

I know that things happen and we can’t always anticipate what will happen and each scenario with every patient. I have lived through this in Dialysis Clinics. We prepare as…

The Last of an Era
Our recruitment numbers are eviscerating and show that the American idea of exceptionalism seems to have disappeared. The military brass have been attempting to gaslight Americans using minority groups that don’t love this country to say they do and make it look like they are showing a slight effort to encourage recruitment. Well it’s not…

A Year Later
Sunday was the sad, One-Year Anniversary of the tornado that blustered its way through Sullivan, Indiana. I don’t know when I noticed it but at least not quicker than 6 months ago I saw a piece of debris on my way home from Highway 41 going East towards Dugger. There are trees that still look…

Proclamations
The Emancipation Proclamation, is the most well known, I believe, of proclamations. This was important for Lincoln to do so although many believed it did nothing to actually save the slaves of America. It was simply a parchment paper with words.
