INSURRECTIONIST BLUES IN THE KEY OF SEE

June 9, 2021 by

Why Insurrectionist Blues in the key of see? Because you saw what I saw, what everyone watching saw, including the spectators in the watch-tent at the pre-insurrection rally that delivered marching orders. Have you ever received marching orders? Did you march? If you’re a veteran of any service the answer is yes. The difference is […]

FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS ON DOWN STREAM SUPPLY CHAIN BUYS

June 8, 2021 by

Following directions? It sounds so easy, so easy that anyone could do it. So why don’t they? Bad directions? Incomplete? Or maybe directions don’t apply to you because you’ve been everywhere and done everything? That’s where I usually start. And yes, I’ve had some regrets, leftover parts, and malfunctions. But that was then, way back […]

LIFE INGREDIENTS NOT THE SAME AS LIVING? WHERE’S THE LIST

June 7, 2021 by

If there’s a list for life ingredients that make a better life, I haven’t seen it. And, strangely enough, I’m alive. If you’re reading these words, you are too. But you don’t have a list, either? How can that be? We live in a list world. From grocery lists, to honey-do lists, errand lists, project […]

LIFE CHANGES AND WE KEEP UP. DOES THAT SOUND LIKE YOU?

June 6, 2021 by

‘Life changes’ sound morbid. When I hear those two words I think something bad must have happened. “We’ve had life changing events,” sounds a little dramatic, like something big happened. But why does it have to be a bad event? And why big? This is a post to celebrate the small life changes, the things […]

GREEN WINDOWS IN EVERY WALL TO BREATH EASY

June 5, 2021 by

Green windows, or greenery out every window, means one thing: You’re in Oregon. Maybe you’ve heard of Oregon from someone who visited the state in the summer and raved about how green it was. Or you live here and understand what all the green is about. What’s it about? Since trees leak oxygen, it’s about […]

BLAZER SEASON WRAP FOR DAME TIME

June 4, 2021 by

Another Blazer season, another year, and another view of Damian Lillard. The best teammate award and a first round exit. Who doesn’t get caught up in the whirlwind of the NBA Playoffs without noticing Lillard? I’m not asking who thinks they know what he should do next. It’s been another year, a primetime season, but […]

BLOG PRESSURE DRIVES PEOPLE TO QUIT TOO SOON

June 3, 2021 by

Quitters find a way to quit that suits them, but blog pressure? Please. Who quits a blog after twenty nine days? In a blogger rule book, #1 would be ‘Don’t Quit Early.’ Some of us have a different idea of what early means, though. Besides, if you’re going to quit something, why not try and […]

HISTORY MATTERS WHEN YOU’RE NOT LOOKING

June 2, 2021 by

History matters more to history majors? We like to think so, but history matters to everyone else, too. It matters with personal history, house history, town history, business history, and the big history between nations. The key to remember is that it always starts small. And it starts with one question: What happened?

GENERATION GO: HOW ONE KID MOVED ON THE PANDEMIC

June 1, 2021 by

Generation Go is on the move, but you’ve got to look carefully. For all the hand wringing from old people about the youths, take a break. Chances are good they’ve got something to complain about, problems to solve for other people, but not themselves. It’s a common thing with valid history for baby boomers since […]
