I wonder what the recent crisis in Ukraine will do to the Doomsday Clock?  The iconic clock was sitting at five minute until midnight the first of January but you have to wonder if the Bear flexing his muscles again will make any difference at all? The Doomsday Clock isn’t an actual clock, instead it…

One day the world wanted to shake his hand, and the next day they could only shake their heads.  I don’t think I have ever seen a sports figure go from celebrated to scorned as quickly as Peyton Manning did after the Super Bowl Game.  I am not a football fan, but I did watch…

Look through a Glass, Less Geekly.  That was the title of an article that I read in a copy of USA Today while travelling this week.  The article was about the new frames that have been developed for Google Glass, and while I'm geeky enough to have found the content of the article cool, what…

Well, that certainly makes me feel safe.  There was a report out last week that the United States military has stripped the certification and security clearances of 34 of their air force officers.  The reason?  It appears that the 34 had cheated on their monthly proficiency test, which wouldn’t be an issue if they were…

Last week I happened upon the news that Walmart has pulled donkey meat off the shelves in China after testing showed it was contaminated with fox meat.  Seriously?!  I’m not sure if I would rather find fox in my donkey meat or donkey in my fox meat.  However, it seems to be a very real…

Seriously, they burned their car!  Two men in Alberta resorted to desperate measures last week after becoming stuck in a snow bank on their way home.  It appears that while returning to Lethbridge, after dark, the men got lost and then wound up in a ditch.  In order to survive the frigid temperatures they first…

It’s the New Year and a great time for reflecting and being thankful for where we are in life and what we have.  Just the other day I read a story about a woman in South Carolina who beat and stabbed her common law husband with a ceramic squirrel.  Yes, a ceramic squirrel.  It seems…

So, by my figuring, spring must be just around the corner.  No really, we’ve had more winter, this winter, then we had last winter and winter has only been here for a week.  So by the time we had this much winter last winter, winter was almost over and spring was almost here.  You still…

It happens to all of us, we read something online that we really enjoy, a post, a news story or just a picture that brightens our day.  And then we read the comments that people post.  What is it with people?  I understand that not everyone will agree with everything.  But do folks really need…

Just this past week a homeless man in Seattle was arrested for stealing... a high speed ferry. When the crew from a local tugboat company noticed early Sunday morning that the vessel seemed to be adrift, they boarded it to bring it back to the wharf, only to discover 33-year-old Samuel Kenneth McDonough onboard. According…
