1490

February9

The insidious “They” (possibly inspired by the Smoking Rabbit as introduced by Nick Milne) ponder:

“If a trees falls in a forest, and no one is present to witness, does the fall yet make a sound”?

If we fail to use an apostrophe properly, and neither the writer or the readers knows any better, does it matter?

Probably. But, maybe because it’s a rule that makes everything consistent and better. And, ignorance is eventually reduced.

And, by the way… I believe the noise from a falling tree can be evidenced through the use of technology such as audio and video.

all of this makes about as much sense as the code “1490” which means in some military parlance: uncertain information.

Peace be to my Brothers and Sisters.

What’s All This About?

"What am I looking at?", you might wonder.

Lots of stuff.

Meanwhile, here, I discuss events, people and things in our world - and, my (hardly simplistic, albeit inarticulate) views around them.

You'll also learn things about, well, things, like people you need to know about, and information about companies you can't find anywhere else.

So, while I harangue the public in my not so gentle way, you will discover that I am fascinated by all things arcane, curious about those whom appear religious, love music, dabble in politics, loathe the media, value education, still think I am an athlete, and might offer a recipe.

All the while, striving mightily, and daily, to remain a prudent and optimistic gentleman - and, authentic.
