Rock fans run the gamete of styles and ages; they may be associated with the Woodstock generation, but rock fans are as diverse as your coffee drink selections, craft beers or marijuana brands. Bruce Springsteen is not of the Woodstock era, but he cut his teeth as a … More Bruce Springsteen: Falling Out of Favor?
Unimaginable beauty in the sunrise Celestial high tech If only you knew the secret A grand finale on deck — No worries about being late The smoldering evening sky Life has no more tomorrows Time is in short supply — The earth is no longer flat It curled up and resigned So much unfinished business … More If There is No Tomorrow
Space travelers who do a flyby of Earth do not admire our junk. One more reason to avoid this rock. The heavens are filled with man-made stuff, debris from space flights, satellites and our presence. Where we go, waste follows. The U.S. Space Command is charged with tracking space junk. Besides monitoring these objects in … More Space Junk

I used to think I knew what this country stood for, but now I’m confused. We are a nation of morals and kindness, and a nation of … More Things I Don’t Understand: The Environment
