Atomic bomb work never ends at Los Alamos. That’s where the legends began and this is the museum that tells the story. The Bradbury Science Museum. Who doesn’t like a good science museum for family fun?
USEFUL BOOMERS FOR MATERIAL CULTURE
September 16, 2023 by
Useful boomers should know things, the sort of things that show a certain level of awareness. Awareness is useful, so is cleanliness. Directing that awareness to history is even more useful. But it can’t be funky history, so let’s start with the basic question: What Happened? People need to know the right stuff.
RESPONSIBLE BLOGGER IN REAL TIME
August 12, 2023 by
A responsible blogger is hard to find? Not at all, just search for an echo chamber that repeats what you think. Find that blogger and you start wondering why everything else isn’t as easy. But that’s not what’s going on here. I’m not doing the work, you are.
BLOG COACH STEPS UP
July 19, 2023 by
The blog coach call came from a man who needed help. Why call me? Because I’ve got a track record of thirty-two hundred posts on boomerpdx. Not thirty, not thirty-two, but thirty-two hundred blog posts. I’d call me too. But there’s more, so much more.

GET OUT: WHEN YOU’RE ASKED TO LEAVE NICELY
May 31, 2023 by
“Get out,” are more than just pretty words. I’ve heard it said before. It was said by a roommate I once had. Here’s what I did: I got out.
‘THE PLOT’ THICKENS: A BOOK REVIEW
May 26, 2023 by
The Plot is the first book I’ve read that includes Facebook and twitter as important characters. No that’s not a spoiler. Neither is this: they’re cast in a dark light. Did I enjoy reading The Plot? A reviewer on Amazon said the first third drags along but that’s the part I most enjoyed.
BEACH MUSIC BY PAT CONROY, A REVIEW
April 12, 2023 by
Beach Music sat in my TBR pile for years while I passed by. At over 700 pages it intimidated me. I like novels around 200-250 pages. The Great Gatsby clocks in at 208 paged; Catcher In The Rye runs 234 pages, more or less. Beach Music at 800 pages? I got a Harry Potter vibe […]
VIETNAM VETERANS ON BOOMERPDX
March 29, 2023 by
My Vietnam Veterans show up on BoomerPdx not as veterans but as guys I’ve met along the way. Extraordinary guys I’ve been lucky to meet. What’s my plan to meet anyone? Get out of the house and walk around and you can’t go wrong.
