Ever wonder how many stores there are, or how many restaurants, gas stations, tractor-trailers, there are?  I often do.   I just looked it up.  There are 160,000 gas stations in America, over two million tractor-trailers in America with 300,000 on the road at any one time, and there are 660,000 restaurants in America, employing […]

You know the end, I am certain.  “The Full Faith and Credit of the United States Government.”  That sums it up, in ten words.  Last time I checked, my credit score was 815, meaning that anyone wanting to see if I am worthy of credit, that number says it all.  I wonder what the credit […]

Life is full of measurements.  Life may exist without measurements, but without them, life and civilizations even, would not be healthy, friendly, or in way convenient. Just imagine a life without temperature degrees for the weather, cooking, baking, boiling, car engine, or even body temperature, to determine one’s health or whether one has recovered from […]

I want to cover a couple of things here, and the first is Ukraine.  I think it may be too late.  Here’s a quote from a Charles Krauthammer column of March 28, 2014.  About eight years ago!  Obama was in office.  “Russia should be no match for the American superpower.  Yet, under this president, Russia […]

There has rarely been a delay in delivering for what our customers order and pay. The silver delay, is because there is a lack of mint capacity to manufacture it.  Our supplier’s mint in Indiana, is working 24/7, and the delay, is as long as a couple of months. If there is a shortage of […]

 There have been a rash of shootings of late, and last weekend, there were more.  To Buffalo and Uvalde, have been added Philadelphia, New York, Chattanooga, and others.  Naturally, the liberals and Democrats are writing new gun laws they will attempt to pass.  Nothing new here.  Maybe I can help them, if they read this. […]

Many have wondered why the Russians aren’t outraged at Putin, for his cruel, un-called for, attempted destruction, of innocent Ukraine.  Putin calls his actions ‘getting rid of Hitler.’  Hitler has been gone for 40 years, but a comparison between Hitler and Putin is uncanny, and especially when most of the Germans under Hitler, and most […]

Last week, an 18 year old, shot and killed ten, and injured more.  News shows predicted that he will get “life,” with no chance of parole.  A conservative estimate of the yearly cost of imprisonment, is $50,000.  If the 18 year old, lives 60 more years, my third grade arithmetic, says that will cost in […]

I wrote a column with this title in February, 2004, and the idea is still the same, but the picture is different.  In the 1989 film with that title, two guys are invited by their boss to spend a weekend at his posh place in the country.  When they get there, Bernie, their boss is […]

While the date on this is May 2nd, I simply have to quote, almost word for word, Chapter 61, from a book wrote over 30 years ago, with the same title, “Insanity and Parole.” In 30 years, I haven’t changed my mind.  The name of the book is “I Hold These Truths,” and as I […]
