Apple rolled-out their new phones and tablets today. It’s clear that they’re missing Steve Jobs because their stuff today was boring, old, and overpriced. Both the phone and tablet announced today, are lower in specifications than existing products already offered or announced by Microsoft. Oh, on the new Apple tablet demoed today, they were using…

Another Trip Update for October 28th
This week I attended Freegen Church in Lapu Lapu. This is my girl’s old church. This was our second visit this month. I was wearing a prominent colored shirt and made a short video of the praise music which I later posted on Facebook. Yesterday, I found out that the photo collage that went on…

I’m about ten days into this trip. Here are a few observations thus far. Getting a visa extension to stay here was easy. The hardest part was the demand that payment be made in cash. The cost was just north of 4,000 pesos ($66). I needed to complete a form, pay a fee, and then…

My first hotel experience in Lapu Lapu City was the Crown Regency Hotel. I will be comparing it, in part, with my visit last year. The Crown Regency is an older hotel along a main road in Lapu Lapu City. Per the elevator buttons, it has ten floors. It has a small swimming pool and…

I have been told by many so called conservatives that the courts only strike down Republican laws, never Liberal ones. This is patently untrue, but I cannot control the way you think as you have been programmed by tv media to think the way you do. The Constitution says that taxes must originate in the…

The US Supreme Court just struck down President Trump’s ability to set tariff rates with other countries. The vote was 6 to 3. I never could figure the Constitutional basis that gave Trump this power. Yes, it was good from a fiscal point of view, but … This ruling essentially told the do-nothing Congress, this…

Early this morning on good ‘ole Facebook, I came across a bunch of posts blasting the idea of Ash Wednesday. I decided to write a blog on this subject, and I’ll be darned if I can find any samples now. But I will fire away on my thoughts and keep looking for examples. “Ash Wednesday…

I was witness to a customer and a colleague talking about things they saw on the television. As documented in this space, I do not have cable, nor do I partake in watching much more than, call it an hour a week. I think 90% of what is on said virtual babysitter is propaganda one…
