it's my firewood and i will stack it how i wish... "all who trust in their riches will fall." In all my days of guiding over 20 years i have encountered only a very few individuals whom i would count as "arrogant". It's not a label anyone would choose for herself but rather, it is …
safety second
Pretty sure I do not have stockholm's syndrome. Trying to get some benefit from it all doesn't mean I have any affection for GOVID19 or those who dumped it on us. What I do have is an incredible gutteral revulsion for everyone profiting from this episode of medical bullying, as I have for …
people are dying!!! well, duh!
Leaderships all around the globe are capitulating, you can almost see the strings in the right light, to their well-moneyed overlords and appear to be deliberating indebting the people in their care to them by every absurd means at their disposal, and to grotesque degrees. Canada's national debt increased by 350 B last year, an …
money: the worst store of value
yum yum! There have been times when the value of paper currency could be counted upon to buy the same today or next year, or it could be deposited at the bank to buy even more in a year or two. However, I would suggest that if your retirement plan is being measured in paper …
i can’t… rightly… say….
I was once told of a movie wherein the character being interrogated always responded with the same phrase: "I do not know anything about what you are talking about, but even if I did I would not feel at liberty to discuss it with you." Or words to that effect. Perhaps someone would be so …
don’t you even care about granny? !

If true, this is a serious charge as surely we cannot tolerate any form of selfishness in …
momentum can be a good thing!
when you realize perhaps you should have just kept going.... It's a hot day in July. Your apartment is stifling. After putting up with the heat for hours, you decide to go down the steps and out on the street for a cooling walk in a nearby shady grove of trees. You don't get too …
full spectrum dominance
Remember that old schoolyard game, "I'm the king of the castle, and you're the dirty rascal" in which children would fight each other in often vain attempts to take over the top of the pile of snow, or gravel, simply for the right to proudly claim, "I'm the king of the castle, and you are …
are “they” delusional or…?
There is a tendency, and I do not know why it is, to think of those more blessed with wealth, as being superior human beings, without considering the mechanisms employed for their ballooning collections of earth's resources, the assumption apparently being that, in order to accumulate huge stores of wealth, one must somehow be a …
of course you realise…
"of course you realize... this means war" I keep thinking about bugs these days. When I was a kid I loved Saturdays the best. I'd get up when i felt like it and pull on some faded old jeans, didn't have to got to school or slick up for church, and start the day watching …
