How to Shrink the National Debt

The National Debt is just a little over one light-year. I don’t know about ya’ll, but I’m feeling a lot better about a National Debt of only one light-year. Our closest star friend, Proxima Centauri, is 4.3 light-years from the Sun. The Canis Major dwarf Galaxy is the nearest to our solar system and it’s 25,000 light-years away. Astronomers who hazard a guess say that the whole universe is a whopping 79 billion light-years across. I think I’ll stop there. (a joke)

Spaceship Visits Mount Shasta

That’s why you don’t see airplane pilots (unless they’re gliders) buzzing around tall topographic features like mountains. The downdraft could suck them under.

Waves of electrical Surges (compliments of Pacific [...]

Beathe Deep, While You Sleep Breathe Deep

Hip hip hooray! I’m breathing the sweetest natural perfume in the free world—unlimited internet access suffused with gardenia. My little potted plant just bloomed today.

Poison Oak and Sumac Stew—that’s what we’re simmering in, Folks

Happy to say, the first annual reunion of the Tatro boys (Chris, Kevin and Scott) was a huge success. Much golf was enjoyed by all. Only one club (Chris’ Taylor-Made driver) sustained lasting injuries (accidental) when it fell out of the bag that fell off the golf cart that Scott [...]
