    This post (which is tangentially about Zimmerman, but worth the read even if you’re oversaturated) talks about the need to profile and being safe: I used to tell my students to pay attention to their instincts. If you get a bad vibe off of somebody, for whatever reason, pay attention to it. That doesn’t make […]

    Detroit plays Ozymandias

    Detroit plays Ozymandias

    Detroit, once one of the nation’s most prosperous city, has declared bankruptcy. It’s sad, but not at all surprising. Like many municipalities, Detroit is struggling under the burden of unfunded and underfunded pensions, as well as other debt. This one chart paints the picture pretty well: Detroit has about half the population it did at […]

    Fine Arts Friday: Random

    Fine Arts Friday: Random

    Mid-July isn’t the best time for thinking. Frankly it’s too dang hot to engage any muscle, including the brain. But you can listen to music and look at pretty paintings without much effort, so today’s fine arts post is a bit of random beauty. We haven’t faithfully followed the Ambleside schedule for folk songs, so […]

    Do you think they’ll take a coupon for that?

    Do you think they’ll take a coupon for that?

    Today in my Washington Times Community Pages column I talk about higher education inflation: the whys, wherefores, and what nexts: Midway through July, stores are already filled with back to school supplies and some fantastic deals.

    Virtual Vacation

    Virtual Vacation

    Or vacation planning in blog form. One of those. Last year, after our great Grand Canyon adventure, we had tentatively planned a longer camping trip along the Lewis and Clark trail. For a lot of different reasons, that didn’t happen this year, but a girl can dream! And hopefully we’ll be taking the dream trip […]

    Terrible Tuesday: Cool July?

    Terrible Tuesday: Cool July?

    We’ve been having a nice gentle rain for the past couple of days, with temperatures in the mid 70s. In Texas. In July. It’s the weirdest thing ever. Grateful links! How to encourage a special needs mom. Also: Calming the sensory intense household. Funny because it’s true: How ObamaCare works. Speaking of government stupidity, this […]

    Sick Day

    Sick Day

    I’m feeling a bit under the weather, so my productivity is…not. It’s also rainy outside, which makes everyone a little sleepy and lazy, I was lolling about while the kids were left to their own devices, but that lead to Lego wars, so now we’re watching movies.

    Blessed are the peacemakers

    Blessed are the peacemakers

    Our church is doing a series on Acts, and to day we reached the story of Cornelius and Peter (Acts 10). It was a really challenging message, which meant that it was one of those sermons that calls you to change how you think and act. Man, those chafe. Apparently, Jesus calls us  to actually […]

    Laugh or cry

    Laugh or cry

    Look at this adorable little representation of the violation of our freedoms. Cute, huh? And this amusing video of American citizens signing a petition to repeal the Bill of Rights. We’re laughing our way to tyranny. Sure some people are concerned, but it all seems rather subdued considering the enormity of the violation.  It does […]
