Swan Song II
Dear readers, Sadly, for the second time since I’ve been writing a weekly newsletter, I am once again putting it on hold for a while. I say “sadly” because frankly it’s been fun to spout off every Monday about some pet peeve or other without being interrupted. But the downside…
A Potpourri of Oddball Facts
Change of pace today. Just for the fun of it, instead of writing another typical rant about MAGA people and all the harm they’re causing the world, I thought I’d share some oddball facts and figures from the worlds of science, politics and general information. If you lined up all…
