END TIMES, OR JUST A BAD DAY?

End Times is a notion that we’re not long for this world. The American History Channel time slot filler called “How The World Ends” includes End Times ideas. It’s pretty bleak, but there’s reason for hope. The people predicting the end of the world all have something in common:

SERIOUS PEOPLE KNOW RESULTS FOR BAD BEHAVIOR

Serious people don’t all walk around in their academic garb. You won’t find them all on TV or radio. Sometimes a serious man or woman is just down the street. Not my street, but some street in another neighborhood. Why?

HONORABLE MEN AND WOMEN SOUND DIFFERENT

Honorable men don’t whine and complain about how unfairly they are treated, then turn around and treat others even worse. They don’t seek the easy way out of difficult situations, then preen and primp like they’ve just done the impossible that only they could do. Most important of all, honorable men see through the smokescreen […]

ALASKA AIRLINES PROMISE COMES THROUGH

An Alaska Airlines promise is different than Hawaiian Airlines. How different? Alaska sent a refund check this week, a refund Hawaiian couldn’t find a way to make. What’s the big difference? First with Alaska:

TOXIC HISTORY FOR MODERN TIMES

Toxic history is nothing new for baby boomers. You could say the same for every generation aging out, closer to the end than the beginning of life. That’s how it works if you don’t pay attention. Toxic old people push the toxic envelope to the max because they see time running out.

UN-AMERICAN ACCUSATION BASED ON COMMON DECENCY

Who gets tagged with an un-American accusation? Asking for gun control in the wake of mass shootings? That’s un-American accusation? Talking about the Jan.6 insurrection? Also worthy of an un-American accusation? I find no joy in human suffering; animal suffering doesn’t make my day either. Personal suffering up close is a whole ‘nother deal.

CLOUDY DAYS TAKE A SHORT BREAK

Cloudy days in Oregon? How can that be? Where I grew up no one complained about the rain. If they did that would have been all they talked about. There’s more going on than cloudy days, but what do you do when all you see are clouds?
