I've been following the news on campus protests and I don't recall what I'd describe as riots. Would you post some links to what you consider riots?

Two Great Blue Herons in formation.

When Israel continues to seize land against international law on the west bank, drive out the Palestinians (Ethnic cleansing) to effectively expand Israel, I'd say that they have lost credibility to say that they are innocent...

I have a hard time considering Israel to be a secular democracy when the ultra ultra-orthodox do not have to enlist in the IDF like everyone else and get free state funded and separate religious education that no one else gets. The more secular citizens of Israel are getting pretty pissed off...

The two circles can look like hearts if I don't concentrate. It's hard actually to see that they are actually circles and not some oval or sorta circle. And ya, looking at it too long would either give me a headache or make me barf.

At my Alma mater students are protesting for the University's disinvestment in Raytheon and dis-invitation of Raytheon from attending job fairs for graduating students. They see Raytheon as the huge evil for making weapons that the US is supplying to Israel. They seem blind to the fact that...

This is real. I went on Amazon to get some Ben's insect repellent. The best there is. I use it on my shoes and socks when I go in the woods to keep the ticks off. I love that they mentioned Horcruxes from Harry Potter. I saved this image off the Amazon page.

I ventured out today looking for birds and got a lifer! An American Woodcock. Must add a new page to my PowerPoint. Funny looking thing and it walks funny too.

With the family away in Canada for a few days I made one of my favorite meals that no one else in my family likes. It's really easy. Fry some pork chops. Put some tomato sauce on top and some cheese. I made 3 nights worth. But a week ago my wife had made some real chunky home made pasta sauce so...

We've been watching SG-1. We're in season 7 now. It's staying steadily very good to excellent. There are more than a few mind possession or earth intrigue plots that we've endured but for the most part it's still about exploring other worlds/fighting the Goa'uld.

Amateur max Eclipse glasses over my phone. And a colander.

I remember getting off the long flight from Tokyo to Toronto, going into a Starbucks asking for a large coffee with cream and the "deer in the headlights" look I got from the employee behind the counter. It's like she was brainwashed.

Ukraine would never do something like this attack in Russia. Western support would crumble.

I recall meeting with a tech company in Kentucky and they were explaining that their sustainability efforts were handicapped by, at least at the time, Kentucky law which required that all electricity needed to be generated by coal fired electrical plants. That was maybe 20 years ago + or - I...

Our cat Chester is a pain in the ass trying to sneak (or run) out the door when I go out to the driveway. We keep a water sprayer there on the floor. He backs off when we spray in his direction but he keeps trying. We can't let our guard down. He can go in the enclosure but not roam around...

Oh, if it counts I was at a Canon dealer event at a trade show in Las Vegas in the late 1980's/early 1990s. Canon invited their dealers and some industry analysts and Canon hired Dolly Parton to play a set. Not really my thing but I guess I can say I saw Dolly Parton. I wonder what Canon paid...

In 1980 I saw The Kinks at Umass Amherst. Starting 1982 to 1995 I saw about 100 Grateful Dead Concerts Saw Warren Zevon at a bar in Amherst. He came out after midnight totally drunk I saw a few The Dead concerts in the early 2000s Then from 2019 to 2023 I saw 7 Dead and Company concerts...

The best business dinner I ever had not in Tokyo but north of London in a small city called Luton. Venison steak with some special dipping sauce.
