While Audie Murphy almost immediately comes to mind when we think of a hero soldier and, yes, he lies at Arlington. I don’t believe many are aware of Robert Howard, many say he is actually the most decorated soldier in American history. However, if you dig into it and just give it a little thought, it is not much of a surprise to learn that the most decorated is General Douglas MacArthur. (more…)

Re-Post - Backing Up

Re-Post – Backing Up

Repost of from before wipe and re-install. Originally published on January 18, 2004. Wow, how things have changed. CDs! LMAO “I f#$ked up and had to reinstall my OS by format last night, losing all my mail, favorites, and another 20 GB of files” I heard just that the other night as I typed away in a chat room. The reality is that, in one, way, shape or form, we all have heard it 1000…

Re-post - The New Year Week One and Two 2005

Re-post – The New Year Week One and Two 2005

This is a repost from before I switched over to WordPress. Interesting to see how things have changed since then. Originally published 14 JAN 2005. New Year’s Day Well it is the first day of the New Year and according to my PC clock, it is just shy of ending in 13 minutes… How appropriate. I am tired but living up to my resolution to write, at least, daily. I hate moving. Even when “I” am not…

About Those COVID Pills

These new viral pills are all over the news and maybe a great asset against the pandemic but… Not all studies show it is effective as that 85% number we keep hearing. This video by NOVA is worth watching and brings up both the pros and cons. One important point. “If you’re not able to get tested, to get that prescription, to get your hands on that pill, really within a day or two,” Infectious…

NASA and It's Plans to Explore 16 Psyche, a Mostly Metal Asteroid

NASA and It’s Plans to Explore 16 Psyche, a Mostly Metal Asteroid

Once you read on, it will be no big surprise that I happened on this via one of my feeds at mining.com. This large chunk of metal is worth a fortune. The asteroid is called 16 Psyche originally discovered in 1852. Unlike most asteroids which are mainly ice and rock, this one is mostly nickel and iron. In fact, so much valuable metal that it is worth about 10,000 quadrillion dollars…

Only in America - Viral Gorilla Glue Girl Start Hair Care Line

Only in America – Viral Gorilla Glue Girl Start Hair Care Line

Just a quickie. Looking back at 2021 and just had to post this one, likely one of the years stranges news with an after report. I did believe it at first either, but it looks like this is gonna stick. That girl that used Gorilla Glue spray adhesive as a substitute for hair spray is starting her own hair product line. Apparently, she used it by mistake, not knowing it was waterproof and met to be…

Geeklicius Stuff to Look Back at from 2021 - From Space to the Lab

Geeklicius Stuff to Look Back at from 2021 – From Space to the Lab

This is the time of year when everyone is doing the “The best of 2021… whatever” list. I shall admit I dive down rabbit holes too easily. I thought I might take a few minutes to share some of the ones I found interesting, entertaining, and fascinating. This post is going to focus on science-related stuff. I wouldn’t consider this a “top ten” or such, just stuff I stumbled on. Closer to a Fusion…

My Thoughts on a Lifeline

I was hiking on the steep side of the Chagrin. It was a swollen churning rage of mud and debris, chocolate milk. Not the river to be in. Unless you wish to be swept off your feet in a far from romantic Neptunian kinda way… more like impaled by a raging wild boar and being drug off screaming while Neptune introduces you to an entirely new type of waterboarding. not something anyone with a…

What About All These Quarter Dollar Reverses?

I was emptying out my coin purse and happened on a quarter dollar and became curious about all the different backs we have on them. I already know that the reason they are there is that they make people want to collect them. It is a big business for the Treasury. How many different coin backs, actually called the “reverses” are there? When did this start? Are there more coming out in the future?

2020 The Year of the Conspiracy?

You really can’t be too careful these days. Everyone is out to get ya’ ya’ know. I mean you even gotta dress the part these days. My new outdoor look is like:

Stylin’ 2020

Enough on that though. I have been wondering exactly how many wack-o-doodle conspiracy theories will erupt as the cause of this pandemic. I shall debunk the “it was a biological weapon that got loose”. Uh, if it is, it is a…
