The entrance to our little neighborhood featured —until recently— a small tree and a metal swing. For reasons unimportant, the swing is going away and will be replaced with a big rock on which the metal STONEBROOK ACRES sign will be mounted.
UPDATE: The sign is now attached to the rock and it looks pretty good. Decided to mount on top instead of front face because you just couldn’t read it. With some grass and flowers, this will look great this spring.
When I see ancient vehicles like these I am certain they will never be driven again… and there is someone, somewhere, who could make that happen.
And a few more photos taken with the new iPhone 15…
Ours was a very simple wedding.
Yesterday was a perfect fall day for a walk on the prairie with my good friend Henry.
Henry is a professional photographer and the one human on the planet that can take a flattering photo of this reporter. (Yes, those are my real ears)
This post is more about YouTube than Bertrand Russell, or Christianity for that matter. The lecture above was first delivered on March 6, 1927 to the National Secular Society, South London Branch, at Battersea Town Hall.
I’ve heard of Bertrand Russell most of my adult life but don’t think I knew more than he was a philosopher and mathematician. The Wikipedia entry above probably has as much information as I would have gotten in an undergraduate course. And the lecture above (36 minutes) was fascinating.
I’ve been posting videos to YouTube almost since the beginning (February 2005. I uploaded my first video in February of 2006). And, like most people, I’ve spent a fair amount of time watching videos there. More and more, it’s the first place I look for how to do something. And learn something. Yes, there’s no shortage of junk but the more YouTube (and Google) learn about my interests, the more interesting and useful videos fill my stream.
While network and cable news gives us endless talking heads and pundits in 3 to 5 minutes “packages,” YouTube has few constraints. For better or worse, it has become my primary source for news.
