  1. Jumping into it.

    I'm in the process of taking back up one of the things I was taught as a boy, specifically leather craft. Some months ago I purchased a kit to get back into it, and now I'm going to start on it. I'm using my blog space as a sort of journal for the work, give me a place to update my progress and keep me focused.

    First thing: deciding the designs. Still working on that, but I plan on taking my drawing pad here and experimenting until I find something I like. I have been trying ...

  2. Vasconcelos ancestry - early Middle Ages, Dark Ages and late Roman Empire

    It's certainly not an accurate topic, a lot of this geneaology is based on old records, probably not all of it correct, and the further back you go, the more inaccurate it gets..but it's still what is commonly accepted, so I'll play along. I found it slightly disturbing the amount of times people eventually ended up marrying their cousins (not necessarly direct ones, though)..or maybe I shouldn't, it was rather common practice at the time, it probably also means I'm descendent of people with serious ...

  6. 3rd Generation Guns


    A 3rd generation gun is a precious thing. A gun that your parent passed on to you from a grandparent is something money cannot buy.

    I wouldn't sell my grandfathers Winchester model 1912 (mfg. 1917) for $100K, and it doesn't even work. I have a Winchester Model 1907 that my father shot deer with in the 1950's He died this last November, just before deer season. That rifle is 100 years old this year and I am going to shoot a buck with it if I have to stay afield for 16 days

    'Drum major' quote truncates original intention

  8. Regret can change your life


    When I was a trainee I had an elderly man as a patient. He was alone and lonely. He knew he was nearing the end of his life. He was a writer and a poet. One day he asked me if I would sit with him a little while and maybe read some of his work and talk.

    I said no. I was too busy. I was young and had a girlfriend to think about and a lot of things to do. I never saw him again. He died a few days later. Alone. What makes me sick to this very day is the fact that I KNEW I should

  9. The River of Civilization


    Rivers exist. That statement would be regarded as a solid fact by almost every normal person.

    What is a river, exactly?

    All rivers on earth are fluid that is flowing, (Not just water; Have you ever seen a river of LAVA?)
    impelled by the force (law) of gravity. A river isn't a thing, it is a state of being-the action of a physical entity. The water isn't a river, then it is, then it is gone. The water is temporary. The river is permanent, though following

  10. Will joining my enemy defeat them?

    It amazes me how much hatred and opposition I can draw on myself.

    I was just watching an Australian comedy festival.
    It's one for up and coming comedians. I noticed that hardly any of them is not a minority. There's gays, lesbian and all different muds.

    After the mandatory expressions of chagrin and cursing at my screen, I wondered if it would be a good way to win a competition of some kind by pretending I was a tranny or a gay or Jew or something.
